Atopic dermatitis -- a total genome-scan for susceptibility genes.
Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and closely related to other clinical manifestations of allergy. The incidence is high and still increasing. The genetic contribution to disease development is substantial and complex. Only recently genetic research has begun to focus on this phenotype, and specific susceptibility genes remain to be found. To identify can...
متن کاملA Martingale Approach to Scan Statistics
Scan statistics are commonly used in biology, medicine, engineering and other fields where interest is in the probability of observing clusters of events in a window at an unknown location. Due to the dependent nature of the number of events in a large number of overlapping window locations, even approximate solutions for the simplest scan statistics may require elaborate calculations. We propo...
متن کاملSpatial scan statistics with overdispersion.
The spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection for more than a decade. However, overdispersion often presents in real-world data, causing not only violation of the Poisson assumption but also excessive type I errors or false alarms. In order to account for overdispersion, we extend the Poisson-based spatial scan test to a quasi-Pois...
متن کاملPeak finding through Scan Statistics
We discuss the conditions under which Scan Statistics can be fruitfully implemented to signal a departure from the underlying probability model that describes the experimental data. It is shown that local perturbations (“bumps” or “excesses” of events) are better dealt within this framework and, in general, tests based on these statistics provide a powerful and unbiased alternative to the tradi...
متن کاملScan Statistics on Enron Graphs
We introduce a theory of scan statistics on graphs and apply the ideas to the problem of anomaly detection in a time series of Enron email graphs. Corresponding author: Carey E. Priebe =
