Multiple Comparison Tests

4.6K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Spearman's Rank Correlation Test01:20

Spearman's Rank Correlation Test

1.6K
Spearman's rank correlation test, also known as Spearman's rho, is a nonparametric method for assessing the strength and direction of association between two variables. This test is particularly valuable when the data distribution is unknown or when the assumption of normality does not hold. Named after the English psychologist and statistician Dr. Charles Edward Spearman, it serves as the nonparametric counterpart to Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Spearman's test calculates correlation by...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

4.3K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

4.7K
Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly  deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier.  To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Score-based tests are powerful for genetic association studies.
  • Extending these tests to complex models like mixed-effects models is challenging due to score vector unavailability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a general method for approximating score vectors.
  • To extend existing score-based tests to mixed-effects models for analyzing multiple and correlated traits.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a method to asymptotically approximate the score vector.
  • Utilized asymptotically normal and consistent estimates of parameter vectors and their covariance matrices.
  • Applied the approximate score vector to extend score-based tests to mixed-effects models.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed method in extending score-based tests.
  • Showcased potential power gains in association analysis for multiple and correlated traits.
  • Validated the approach using both real and simulated data.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method offers a simple and widely applicable solution for score vector approximation.
  • Enables the use of powerful score-based tests in complex genetic models, including mixed-effects models.
  • Facilitates robust association analysis for multiple and correlated quantitative or binary traits.
