A correction for the LPE statistical test
نویسندگان
چکیده
The correction is in two parts. See [3] for more information on the correction. 1. The LPEadj method discontinues the LPE practice of setting all variances below the maximum variance in the ordered distribution of variances to the maximum variance. In certain cases this practice can set many variances to the maximum and lower the performance of this algorithm. If the assumption that there are only a few low variances to be adjusted is correct then it may be safe to use this procedure. This option is controlled by the doMax parameter (default is FALSE). 2. The LPEadj method replaces the π/2 adjustment of the variance with an empirically estimated adjustment based on the sample size of the data. The empirical adjustment values have been estimated for replicate sizes up to 10. This option is controlled by the doAdj parameter (default is TRUE).

A correction for estimating error when using the Local Pooled Error Statistical Test
UNLABELLED Jain et al. introduced the Local Pooled Error (LPE) statistical test designed for use with small sample size microarray gene-expression data. Based on an asymptotic proof, the test multiplicatively adjusts the standard error for a test of differences between two classes of observations by pi/2 due to the use of medians rather than means as measures of central tendency. The adjustment...
متن کاملThe Protective Effect of Liquorice Plant Extract on CCl4-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio)
The protective effect of liquorice plant extract (LPE) on CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in common carp was evaluated using fifty adult carps. The fish were cultured in a standard environment in terms of water flow rate, oxygen, pH, food and temperature. The fish were assigned into 5 groups (N = 10) as control, sham, and tests. The test groups were pre-treated for 3 h with various concentrations o...
متن کاملLocal-pooled-error test for identifying differentially expressed genes with a small number of replicated microarrays
MOTIVATION In microarray studies gene discovery based on fold-change values is often misleading because error variability for each gene is heterogeneous under different biological conditions and intensity ranges. Several statistical testing methods for differential gene expression have been suggested, but some of these approaches are underpowered and result in high false positive rates because ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate characteristics of venous hemodynamics, together with cardiac and arterial function, in uncomplicated pregnancies (UP), non-proteinuric gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE). METHODS In this observational cross-sectional study, venous hemodynamics was assessed using a standardised protocol for combined electrocardiogram (ECG)-Doppler ultrasonography, toget...
متن کاملWhy Markov Process Worklife Expectancy Tables are Usually Superior to the LPE Method
Based on surveys of members of the National Association of Forensic Economics (NAFE), the predominant method for calculating worklife expectancy involves the use of Markov process statistical worklife expectancy tables, with the LPE method as a distant second, use of a fixed retirement date as a close third, and with median or mean years to final labor force separation a distant fourth. However...
