An efficient Monte Carlo approach to assessing statistical significance in genomic studies
MOTIVATION Multiple hypothesis testing is a common problem in genome research, particularly in microarray experiments and genomewide association studies. Failure to account for the effects of multiple comparisons would result in an abundance of false positive results. The Bonferroni correction and Holm's step-down procedure are overly conservative, whereas the permutation test is time-consuming...
متن کاملAn efficient approach to ab initio Monte Carlo simulation.
We present a Nested Markov chain Monte Carlo (NMC) scheme for building equilibrium averages based on accurate potentials such as density functional theory. Metropolis sampling of a reference system, defined by an inexpensive but approximate potential, was used to substantially decorrelate configurations at which the potential of interest was evaluated, thereby dramatically reducing the number n...
متن کاملAssessing genomewide statistical significance in linkage studies.
Assessment of genomewide statistical significance in multipoint linkage analysis is a thorny problem. The existing analytical solutions rely on strong assumptions (i.e., infinitely dense or equally spaced genetic markers that are fully informative and completely observed, and a single type of relative pair) which are rarely satisfied in real human studies, while simulation-based methods are com...
متن کاملA New Approach to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
We describe a new algorithm that approaches Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics in a different way. Instead of sampling the probability distribution at a fixed temperature, a random walk is performed in energy space to directly extract an estimate for the density of states. The canonical probability can then be found at any temperature by weighting by the appropriate Boltzmann factor,...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Efficient Monte-Carlo Localization in RoboCup
Recently, efficient self-localization methods have been developed, among which probabilistic Monte-Carlo localization (MCL) is one of the most popular. However, standard MCL algorithms need at least 100 samples to compute an acceptable position estimation. This paper presents a novel approach to MCL that uses an adaptive number of samples that drops down to a single sample if the pose estimatio...
