Knowledge-driven binning approach for rare variant association analysis: application to neuroimaging biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease
BACKGROUND Rapid advancement of next generation sequencing technologies such as whole genome sequencing (WGS) has facilitated the search for genetic factors that influence disease risk in the field of human genetics. To identify rare variants associated with human diseases or traits, an efficient genome-wide binning approach is needed. In this study we developed a novel biological knowledge-bas...
متن کاملFuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Approach for Ranking of Stocks with an Application to Tehran Stock Exchange
The main goal of this paper is to propose a new approach for efficiency measurement and ranking of stocks. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the popular and applicable techniques that can be used to reach this goal. However, there are always concerns about negative data and uncertainty in financial markets. Since the classical DEA models cannot deal with negative and imprecise values, i...
متن کاملA Protein Domain and Family Based Approach to Rare Variant Association Analysis
BACKGROUND It has become common practice to analyse large scale sequencing data with statistical approaches based around the aggregation of rare variants within the same gene. We applied a novel approach to rare variant analysis by collapsing variants together using protein domain and family coordinates, regarded to be a more discrete definition of a biologically functional unit. METHODS Usin...
متن کاملOptimal unified approach for rare-variant association testing with application to small-sample case-control whole-exome sequencing studies.
We propose in this paper a unified approach for testing the association between rare variants and phenotypes in sequencing association studies. This approach maximizes power by adaptively using the data to optimally combine the burden test and the nonburden sequence kernel association test (SKAT). Burden tests are more powerful when most variants in a region are causal and the effects are in th...
متن کاملAnalysis of Xorrotation with Application to an HC-128 Variant
Many cryptographic primitives rely on word rotations (R) and xor (X) to provide proper mixing. We give RX-system mixing a very general treatment and deduce some theoretical results on related probability distributions. Pure RX-systems are easy to break, so we show how to apply our theory to a more complex system that uses RX operations in combination with S-boxes. We construct an impractical (k...
