Resampling procedures to identify important SNPs using a consensus approach
Our goal is to identify common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (minor allele frequency > 1%) that add predictive accuracy above that gained by knowledge of easily measured clinical variables. We take an algorithmic approach to predict each phenotypic variable using a combination of phenotypic and genotypic predictors. We perform our procedure on the first simulated replicate and then val...
متن کاملTracing Cattle Breeds with Principal Components Analysis Ancestry Informative SNPs
The recent release of the Bovine HapMap dataset represents the most detailed survey of bovine genetic diversity to date, providing an important resource for the design and development of livestock production. We studied this dataset, comprising more than 30,000 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) for 19 breeds (13 taurine, three zebu, and three hybrid breeds), seeking to identify small panel...
متن کاملSelecting a Targeting Method to Identify BPL Households in India
This paper proposes how to select a methodology to target multidimensionally poor households, and how to update that targeting exercise periodically. We present this methodology in the context of discussions regarding the selection of a targeting methodology in India. In 1992, 1997, and 2002 the Indian government identified households that are Below the Poverty Line (BPL) and in updating the 20...
متن کاملSelecting and Weighting N-Grams to Identify 1100 Languages
This paper presents a language identification algorithm using cosine similarity against a filtered and weighted subset of the most frequent n-grams in training data with optional inter-string score smoothing, and its implementation in an open-source program. When applied to a collection of strings in 1100 languages containing at most 65 characters each, an average classification accuracy of ove...
متن کاملSelecting signature oligonucleotides to identify organisms using DNA arrays
MOTIVATION DNA arrays are a very useful tool to quickly identify biological agents present in some given sample, e.g. to identify viruses causing disease, for quality control in the food industry, or to determine bacteria contaminating drinking water. The selection of specific oligos to attach to the array surface is a relevant problem in the experiment design process. Given a set S of genomic ...
