Poisson Probability Distribution01:09

Poisson Probability Distribution

10.1K
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution. It gives the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen at a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. For example, a book editor might be interested in the number of words spelled incorrectly in a particular book. It might be that, on average, there are five words spelled incorrectly in 100 pages. The interval is 100 pages.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.5K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Distributed Parameter Models

335
Pharmacokinetic models are mathematical constructs that represent and predict the time course of drug concentrations in the body, providing meaningful pharmacokinetic parameters. These models are categorized into compartment, physiological, and distributed parameter models.
The distributed parameter models are specifically designed to account for variations and differences in some drug classes. This model is particularly useful for assessing regional concentrations of anticancer or...

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

1.5K
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Poisson's And Laplace's Equation

4.3K
The electric potential of the system can be calculated by relating it to the electric charge densities that give rise to the electric potential. The differential form of Gauss's law expresses the electric field's divergence in terms of the electric charge density.

Poisson's Ratio01:23

Poisson's Ratio

2.4K
Poisson's ratio is a material property that indicates their stress response. It explains the connection between the elongation or compression a material undergoes in the direction of an applied force and the contraction or expansion it experiences perpendicular to that force. When a slender bar is loaded axially, it stretches in the direction of the force and contracts laterally. Poisson's ratio is the negative ratio of this lateral contraction to the axial elongation. The negative sign...

Area of Science:

  • Systems biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Gene network inference is crucial for understanding biological systems.
  • Existing methods often struggle with the unique characteristics of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, such as high variability and count-based nature.
  • There is a need for specialized methods to accurately model RNA-seq data for gene network inference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel statistical model for gene network inference specifically designed for RNA-seq data.
  • To address the challenges posed by the discrete and highly variable nature of RNA-seq count data.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed model against existing methods using both simulated and real-world data.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a hierarchical Poisson log-normal model incorporating a Lasso penalty.
  • The model directly handles discrete count data and accounts for overdispersion (inter-sample variance).
  • Compared the proposed method with a regularized Gaussian graphical model and a Poisson log-linear graphical model using microRNA-seq data and simulations.

Main Results:

  • The proposed hierarchical Poisson log-normal model demonstrated superior performance in gene network inference from RNA-seq data.
  • Outperformed comparative methods in sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve, particularly for data with significant inter-sample dispersion.
  • Validated findings using real microRNA-seq data from breast cancer tumors and diverse simulation scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hierarchical Poisson log-normal model is a robust and effective tool for gene network inference from RNA-seq data.
  • Highlights the necessity of specialized methods tailored to the statistical properties of RNA-seq data.
  • Provides a more accurate approach for systems biology research utilizing transcriptomic data.
