Bayesian Statistics for Biological Data: Pedigree Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
I n teaching biology, there may be a tendency to concentrate too much on the descriptive aspects of the subject. A well-rounded education in the biological sciences also requires experience in the gathering and statistical analysis (interpretation) of quantitative data from field or laboratory studies. There are numerous mathematical tools and computer programs to help us do this today. Introducing students to some of these tools and their practical applications should be part of every biology class. One of these tools is known as Bayesian analysis. The specific purposes of this report are to:

Bayesian Melding of Deterministic Models and Kriging for Analysis of Spatially Dependent Data
The link between geographic information systems and decision making approach own the invention and development of spatial data melding method. These methods combine different data sets, to achieve better results. In this paper, the Bayesian melding method for combining the measurements and outputs of deterministic models and kriging are considered. Then the ozone data in Tehran city are analyze...
متن کاملJoint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis
Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...
متن کاملNon-linear Bayesian prediction of generalized order statistics for liftime models
In this paper, we obtain Bayesian prediction intervals as well as Bayes predictive estimators under square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.
متن کاملPractical considerations for dividing data into subsets prior to PPL analysis.
OBJECTIVE The PPL, a class of statistics for complex trait genetic mapping in humans, utilizes Bayesian sequential updating to accumulate evidence for or against linkage across potentially heterogeneous data (sub)sets. Here, we systematically explore the relative efficacy of alternative subsetting approaches for purposes of PPL calculation. METHODS We simulated genotypes for three pedigree se...
متن کاملA Note on Evolutionary Rate Estimation in Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis: Focus on Pathogens
Bayesian evolutionary analysis provide a statistically sound and flexible framework for estimation of evolutionary parameters. In this method, posterior estimates of evolutionary rate (μ) are derived by combining evolutionary information in the data with researcher’s prior knowledge about the true value of μ. Nucleotide sequence samples of fast evolving pathogens that are taken at d...
