Pseudo Empirical Likelihood Inference for Non-Probability Survey Samples
Yilin Chen, Pengfei Li, J. N. K. Rao +1
In this paper, the authors first provide an overview of two major developments on complex survey data analysis: the empirical likelihood methods and statistical inference with non-…
Retrospective score tests versus prospective score tests for genetic association with case-control data
Yukun Liu, Pengfei Li, Lei Song +2
Since the seminal work by Prentice and Pyke (1979), the prospective logistic likelihood has become the standard method of analysis for retrospectively collected case-control data,…
A powerful procedure that controls the false discovery rate with directional information
Zhaoyang Tian, Kun Liang, Pengfei Li
In many multiple testing applications in genetics, the signs of test statistics provide useful directional information, such as whether genes are potentially up- or down-regulated…
Maximum multinomial likelihood estimation in compound mixture model with application to malaria study
Zhaoyang Tian, Kun Liang, Pengfei Li
Malaria can be diagnosed by the presence of parasites and symptoms (usually fever) due to the parasites. In endemic areas, however, an individual may have fever attributable either…
Maximum likelihood abundance estimation from capture-recapture data when covariates are missing at random
Yang Liu, Yukun Liu, Pengfei Li +2
In capture-recapture experiments, individual covariates may be subject to missing, especially when the number of times of being captured is small. When the covariate information is…
Hypothesis testing for quantitative trait locus effects in both location and scale in genetic backcross studies
Guanfu Liu, Pengfei Li, Yukun Liu +1
Testing the existence of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) effect is an important task in QTL mapping studies. Most studies concentrate on the case where the phenotype distributions…
