Assessing 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 کاملAssessing statistical significance of periodogram peaks
The least-squares (or Lomb-Scargle) periodogram is a powerful tool which is used routinely in many branches of astronomy to search for periodicities in observational data. The problem of assessing statistical significance of candidate periodicities for different periodograms is considered. Based on results in extreme value theory, improved analytic estimations of false alarm probabilities are g...
متن کاملAssessing the Statistical Significance of Overrepresented Oligonucleotides
Assessing statistical significance of over-representation of exceptional words is becoming an important task in computational biology. We show on two problems how large deviation methodology applies. First, when some oligomer H occurs more often than expected, e.g. may be overrepresented, large deviations allow for a very efficient computation of the so-called p-value. The second problem we add...
متن کاملAssessing the statistical significance of association rules
An association rule is statistically significant, if it has a small probability to occur by chance. It is well-known that the traditional frequency-confidence framework does not produce statistically significant rules. It can both accept spurious rules (type 1 error) and reject significant rules (type 2 error). The same problem concerns other commonly used interestingness measures and pruning h...
متن کاملHow Causal Heterogeneity Can Influence Statistical Significance in Clinical Trials
Finding that an association is statistically insignificant in a clinical trial has two distinct explanations. (1) The association may be real, but the sample size is too small to distinguish the results from those due to chance. (2) The association is spurious – a coincidence due to chance. Based on Weisberg (2011), this paper argues that there is a third explanation: the association may be rea...
