Generalized rank tests for replicated microarray data.

چکیده
Gene expression data from microarray experiments have been studied using several statistical models. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM), for example, has proved to be useful in analyzing microarray data. In the spirit of the SAM procedures, we develop permutation based rank-tests for generalized Wilcoxon ranksum test for two-group comparisons of replicated microarray data. Also, for microarray experiments with randomized block design, we consider generalized signed rank test. The statistical analysis software package is written in R and is freely available in a package.

The Baumgartner-Wei?-Schindler test for the detection of differentially expressed genes in replicated microarray experiments
MOTIVATION An important application of microarray experiments is to identify differentially expressed genes. Because microarray data are often not distributed according to a normal distribution nonparametric methods were suggested for their statistical analysis. Here, the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test, a novel and powerful test based on ranks, is investigated and compared with the parametric...
متن کاملThe exact probability distribution of the rank product statistics for replicated experiments.
The rank product method is a widely accepted technique for detecting differentially regulated genes in replicated microarray experiments. To approximate the sampling distribution of the rank product statistic, the original publication proposed a permutation approach, whereas recently an alternative approximation based on the continuous gamma distribution was suggested. However, both approximati...
متن کاملA Multivariate Empirical Bayes Statistic for Replicated Microarray Time Course Data
In this paper we derive a one-sample multivariate empirical Bayes statistic (the MB-statistic) to rank genes in the order of differential expression from replicated microarray time course experiments . We do this by testing the null hypothesis that the expectation of a k-vector of a gene’s expression levels is a multiple of 1k, the vector of k 1s. The importance of moderation in this context is...
متن کاملRank products : a simple , yet powerful , new method to detect differentially regulated genes in replicated microarray experiments q
One of the main objectives in the analysis of microarray experiments is the identification of genes that are differentially expressed under two experimental conditions. This task is complicated by the noisiness of the data and the large number of genes that are examined simultaneously. Here, we present a novel technique for identifying differentially expressed genes that does not originate from...
متن کاملAnalysis of host response to bacterial infection using error model based gene expression microarray experiments
A key step in the analysis of microarray data is the selection of genes that are differentially expressed. Ideally, such experiments should be properly replicated in order to infer both technical and biological variability, and the data should be subjected to rigorous hypothesis tests to identify the differentially expressed genes. However, in microarray experiments involving the analysis of ve...
