Fractal Characterizations of MAX Statistical Distribution in Genetic Association Studies
Wentian Li, Yaning Yang
Two non-integer parameters are defined for MAX statistics, which are maxima of simpler test statistics. The first parameter, , is the fractional number of tests, repre…
Exploring Case-Control Genetic Association Tests Using Phase Diagrams
Wentian Li, Young Ju Suh, Yaning Yang
Background: By a new concept called "phase diagram", we compare two commonly used genotype-based tests for case-control genetic analysis, one is a Cochran-Armitage trend test (CAT…
Overlapping Probabilities of Top Ranking Gene Lists, Hypergeometric Distribution, and Stringency of Gene Selection Criterion
Wen Fury, Franak Batliwalla, Peter K. Gregersen +1
When the same set of genes appear in two top ranking gene lists in two different studies, it is often of interest to estimate the probability for this being a chance event. This ov…
Large-scale Oscillation of Structure-Related DNA Sequence Features in Human Chromosome 21
Wentian Li, Pedro Miramontes
Human chromosome 21 is the only chromosome in human genome that exhibits oscillation of (G+C)-content of cycle length of hundreds kilobases (500 kb near the right telomere). We aim…
