متن کاملSample Size Estimation while Controlling False Discovery Rate for Microarray Experiments Using the ssize.fdr Package
Microarray experiments are becoming more and more popular and critical in many biological disciplines. As in any statistical experiment, appropriate experimental design is essential for reliable statistical inference, and sample size has a crucial role in experimental design. Because microarray experiments are rather costly, it is important to have an adequate sample size that will achieve a de...
متن کاملA comparative review of estimates of FDR in small microarray experiments
The focus of this paper is to illustrate and compare three recently suggested methods for the identification of differentially expressed genes and estimation of the false discovery rate (FDR) and to inversigate whether these FDR estimation methods are biased when we have a small sample size of 3 subjects per group. The methods are estimation of FDR based on averaging of fdr1d (FDR.avg), FDR est...
متن کاملQuick Calculation for Sample Size while Controlling False Discovery Rate with Application to Microarray Analysis
1 Summary. Sample size estimation is important in microarray or proteomic experiments since biologists can typically afford only a few repetitions. Classical procedures to calculate sample size are based on controlling type I error, e.g., family-wise error rate (FWER). In the context of microarray and other large-scale genomic data, it is more powerful and more reasonable to control false disco...
متن کاملBorrowing information across genes and experiments for improved error variance estimation in microarray data analysis.
Statistical inference for microarray experiments usually involves the estimation of error variance for each gene. Because the sample size available for each gene is often low, the usual unbiased estimator of the error variance can be unreliable. Shrinkage methods, including empirical Bayes approaches that borrow information across genes to produce more stable estimates, have been developed in r...
