False-positive rates in two-point parametric linkage analysis

Two-point linkage analyses of whole genome sequence data are a promising approach to identify rare variants that segregate with complex diseases in large pedigrees because, in theory, the causal variants have been genotyped. We used whole genome sequence data and simulated traits provided by Genetic Analysis Workshop 18 to evaluate the proportion of false-positive findings in a binary trait usi...

Automatically Estimating Record Linkage False Match Rates

This paper provides a mechanism for automatically estimating record linkage false match rates in situations where the subset of the true matches is reasonably well separated from other pairs and there is no training data. The method provides an alternative to the method of Belin and Rubin (JASA 1995) and is applicable in more situations. We provide examples demonstrating why the general problem...

non-parametric methods in genetic linkage analysis

one of the most important goals for researchers in the clinic is to try to find newer and more effective ways to diagnose and cure the diseases. these clinical advances can create new points of view in other sciences and their combination with basic sciences such as statistics can improve these researches. in statistical genetics, linkage analysis is a way of finding the exact locus of a diseas...

False-positive and false-negative rates in meconium drug testing.

To determine the number of false-negative results produced by inefficient extraction of drugs from meconium, three published procedures were compared by using previously confirmed positive and negative meconium specimens. The methods were not equivalent in their ability to extract drugs from the matrix. To determine the number of false positives reported by the use of screen-only (unconfirmed) ...

False-positive and false-negative rates for carcinogenicity screens.

The implementation of a number of chemical carcinogen screening programs has been accompanied by the observation that some screens might have high false-positive error rates. With designs presently used at the National Cancer Institute and historical spontaneous tumor rates based upon control animals in previous experiments, we compute upper bounds on the false-positive error rates for several ...
