Microarray background correction: maximum likelihood estimation for the normal–exponential convolution
Background correction is an important preprocessing step for microarray data that attempts to adjust the data for the ambient intensity surrounding each feature. The "normexp" method models the observed pixel intensities as the sum of 2 random variables, one normally distributed and the other exponentially distributed, representing background noise and signal, respectively. Using a saddle-point...
متن کاملParameter estimation for the exponential-normal convolution model for background correction of affymetrix GeneChip data.
There are many methods of correcting microarray data for non-biological sources of error. Authors routinely supply software or code so that interested analysts can implement their methods. Even with a thorough reading of associated references, it is not always clear how requisite parts of the method are calculated in the software packages. However, it is important to have an understanding of su...
متن کاملMaximum-Likelihood Circle-Parameter Estimation via Convolution
In this paper, we present an interpretation of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) and the Delogne-Kåsa Estimator (DKE) for circle-parameter estimation via convolution. Under a certain model for theoretical images, this convolution is an exact description of the MLE. We use our convolution based MLE approach to find good starting estimates for the parameters of a circle, that is, the centre ...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Exponential Families.
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is a general method for estimating parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. The key step in any TMLE implementation is constructing a sequence of least-favorable parametric models for the parameter of interest. This has been done for a variety of parameters arising in causal inference problems, by augmenting standard regression models ...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation for q-Exponential (Tsallis) Distributions
Tsallis et al. proposed these distributions to handle statistical-mechanical systems with long-range interactions, necessitating (it is claimed) a non-extensive generalization of the ordinary Gibbs-Shannon entropy. Following Jaynes’s procedure of maximizing an entropy subject to constraints on expectation values [2], they got the q-exponential distributions, in which κ enforces the constraints,...
