چکیده

SUMMARY The fundamental problem of gene selection via cDNA data is to identify which genes are differentially expressed across different kinds of tissue samples (e.g. normal and cancer). cDNA data contain large number of variables (genes) and usually the sample size is relatively small so the selection process can be unstable. Therefore, models which incorporate sparsity in terms of variables (genes) are desirable for this kind of problem. This paper proposes a two-level hierarchical Bayesian model for variable selection which assumes a prior that favors sparseness. We adopt a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based computation technique to simulate the parameters from the posteriors. The method is applied to leukemia data from a previous study and a published dataset on breast cancer. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION http://stat.tamu.edu/people/faculty/bmallick.html.

Hierarchical Model Selection Using a Benchmark Discrepancy

In the context of small area estimation, hierarchical Bayesian (HB) models are often proposed to produce more reliable estimators of small area quantities than direct estimates, such as design-based survey estimators. A method that benchmarks HB estimates with respect to higher level direct estimates and measures the relative inflation in the posterior mean square error of distributions due to ...

Project Portfolio Risk Response Selection Using Bayesian Belief Networks

Risk identification, impact assessment, and response planning constitute three building blocks of project risk management. Correspondingly, three types of interactions could be envisioned between risks, between impacts of several risks on a portfolio component, and between several responses. While the interdependency of risks is a well-recognized issue, the other two types of interactions remai...

Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts

Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...

asset pricing anomalies at the firm level

Anomaly is deviation from common rules and in finance it can be defined as a pattern in the average of stock return that is not consistent with the prevailing asset pricing models literature. For anomaly investigation two common methods are used: portfolio approach and individual firm approach. This paper wants to shed light on anomalies of capital asset pricing model at the individual firm lev...

Bias-corrected Hierarchical Bayesian Classification with a Selected Subset of High-dimensional Features

Class prediction based on high-dimensional features has received a great deal of attention in many areas. For example, biologists are interested in using microarray gene expression profiles for diagnosis or prognosis of a certain disease (eg, cancer). For computational and other reasons, it is necessary to select a subset of features before fitting a statistical model, by looking at how strongl...
