Analysis of pulsatile hormone concentration profiles with nonconstant Basal concentration: a bayesian approach.
Many challenges arise in the analysis of pulsatile, or episodic, hormone concentration time series data. Among these challenges is the determination of the number and location of pulsatile events and the discrimination of events from noise. Analyses of these data are typically performed in two stages. In the first stage, the number and approximate location of the pulses are determined. In the s...
متن کاملBayesian deconvolution analysis of pulsatile hormone concentration profiles.
Many hormones are secreted into the circulatory system in a pulsatile manner and are cleared exponentially. The most common method of analyzing these systems is to deconvolve the hormone concentration into a secretion function and a clearance function. Accurate estimation of the model parameters depends on the number and location of the secretion pulses. To date, deconvolution analysis assumes ...
متن کاملBayesian Factor Analysis via Concentration
We consider factor analysis when we assume the distribution form is known up to its mean and variance. A prior is placed on the mean and variance and then inference is made as to whether or not any latent factors exist. Inference is carried out by comparing the concentrations of the prior and posterior about various subsets of the parameter space that are specified by hypothesizing factor struc...
متن کاملA Bayesian approach for determining the no effect concentration and hazardous concentration in ecotoxicology.
This paper describes a Bayesian modeling approach to the estimation of the no effect concentration (NEC) and the hazardous concentration (HC(x)) as an alternative to conventional methods based on NOECs - the no observed effect concentration. The advantage of the proposed method is that it combines a plausible model for dose-response data with prior information or belief about the model's parame...
متن کاملOn the GFP-based analysis of dynamic concentration profiles.
Studies with GFP-tagged proteins can be used to investigate the dynamics of concentration profiles of regulatory proteins in cells and tissues. Analysis of these experiments must account for the finite rate with which the GFP-tagged proteins mature to the fluorescent state. Toward this end, we present an analytical framework that provides an explicit connection between the apparent kinetics of ...
