Bonferroni Test01:10

Bonferroni Test

2.5K
The Bonferroni test is a statistical test named after Carlo Emilio Bonferroni, an Italian mathematician best known for Bonferroni inequalities. This statistical test is a type of multiple comparison test to determine which means are different than the rest. Bonferroni test can minimize the Type 1 error by reducing the significance level alpha, which otherwise increases with sample pairs.
The means of different samples are first paired in all possible combinations.
The null hypothesis of the...

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.8K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

P-value01:10

P-value

7.1K
P-value is one of the most crucial concepts in statistics.
P-value stands for the probability value.  P-value is the probability that, if the null hypothesis is true, the results from another randomly selected sample will be as extreme or more extreme as the results obtained from the given sample.
A large P-value calculated from the data indicates to  not reject the null hypothesis. But a higher P-value does not mean that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the P-value, the more...

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion01:24

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion

2.9K
A complete procedure for testing a claim about a population proportion is provided here.
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

11.4K
Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Significance Testing: Overview01:04

Significance Testing: Overview

10.1K
Significance testing is a set of statistical methods used to test whether a claim about a parameter is valid. In analytical chemistry, significance testing is used primarily to determine whether the difference between two values comes from determinate or random errors. The effect of a particular change in the measurement protocol, analyst, or sample itself can cause a deviation from the expected result. In the case of a suspected deviation/outlier, we need to be able to confirm mathematically...

    • Statistics
    • Bioinformatics
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Conservative statistical tests are common in multiple testing scenarios where Type I error computation is challenging.

    • Application of the calibration technique to DESeq, a method for differential gene expression analysis in RNA sequencing data.

    Main Results:

    • The calibration technique substantially reduces test conservativeness.
    • It leads to increased statistical power, particularly beneficial for small sample size experiments.
    • Potential for lowering experimental costs by enabling smaller sample sizes.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed calibration method offers a significant improvement over existing approaches for conservative statistical tests.
    • It enhances the efficiency of analyses like differential gene expression, especially in resource-limited settings.
    • This technique can improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of preliminary and funding application experiments.
