Beyond Zipf's Law: The Lavalette Rank Function and its Properties
Oscar Fontanelli, Pedro Miramontes, Yaning Yang +2
Although Zipf's law is widespread in natural and social data, one often encounters situations where one or both ends of the ranked data deviate from the power-law function. Previou…
Using Volcano Plots and Regularized-Chi Statistics in Genetic Association Studies
Wentian Li, Jan Freudenberg, Young Ju Suh +1
Labor intensive experiments are typically required to identify the causal disease variants from a list of disease associated variants in the genome. For designing such experiments,…
Partial correlation analysis indicates causal relationships between GC-content, exon density and recombination rate in the human genome
Jan Freudengerb, Mingyi Wang, Yaning Yang +1
{\bf Background}: Several features are known to correlate with the GC-content in the human genome, including recombination rate, gene density and distance to telomere. However, by…
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…
Effective Sample Size: Quick Estimation of the Effect of Related Samples in Genetic Case-Control Association Analyses
Yaning Yang, Elaine F. Remmers, Chukwuma B. Ogunwole +3
Affected relatives are essential for pedigree linkage analysis, however, they cause a violation of the independent sample assumption in case-control association studies. To avoid t…
