Using genomic annotations increases statistical power to detect eGenes
MOTIVATION Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are genetic variants that affect gene expression. In eQTL studies, one important task is to find eGenes or genes whose expressions are associated with at least one eQTL. The standard statistical method to determine whether a gene is an eGene requires association testing at all nearby variants and the permutation test to correct for multiple ...
متن کاملUsing statistical parsing to detect agrammatic aphasia
Agrammatic aphasia is a serious language impairment which can occur after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. We present an automatic method for analyzing aphasic speech using surface level parse features and context-free grammar production rules. Examining these features individually, we show that we can uncover many of the same characteristics of agrammatic language that have been reported in...
متن کاملStatistical power to detect genetic Loci affecting environmental sensitivity.
There is evidence in different species of genetic control of environmental variation, independent of scale effects. The statistical power to detect genetic control of environmental or phenotypic variability for a quantitative trait was investigated analytically using a monozygotic (MZ) twin difference design and a design using unrelated individuals. The model assumed multiplicative or additive ...
متن کاملStatistical Power to Detect Genetic (Co)Variance of Complex Traits Using SNP Data in Unrelated Samples
We have recently developed analysis methods (GREML) to estimate the genetic variance of a complex trait/disease and the genetic correlation between two complex traits/diseases using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in unrelated individuals. Here we use analytical derivations and simulations to quantify the sampling variance of the estimate of the proportion of phenotypic va...
متن کاملStatistical power to detect violation of the proportional hazards assumption when using the Cox regression model
The use of the Cox proportional hazards regression model is widespread. A key assumption of the model is that of proportional hazards. Analysts frequently test the validity of this assumption using statistical significance testing. However, the statistical power of such assessments is frequently unknown. We used Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the statistical power of two different methods ...
