Correlation and Regression00:53

Correlation and Regression

3.0K
In statistics, correlation describes the degree of association between two variables. In the subfield of linear regression, correlation is mathematically expressed by the correlation coefficient, which describes the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The coefficient is symbolically represented by 'r' and ranges from -1 to +1. A positive value indicates a positive correlation where the two variables move in the same direction. A negative value suggests a...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

15.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Residuals and Least-Squares Property

The vertical distance between the actual value of y and the estimated value of y. In other words, it measures the vertical distance between the actual data point and the predicted point on the line
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.7K
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...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Calculating and Interpreting the Linear Correlation Coefficient01:11

Calculating and Interpreting the Linear Correlation Coefficient

7.6K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable, x, and the dependent variable, y. Hence, it is also known as the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. It can be calculated using the following equation:

  • Statistical Genomics

Background:

  • Next-generation sequencing has advanced genetic association studies, but population stratification remains a significant challenge.
  • Existing methods for correcting population stratification bias are often less effective for rare variants, leading to reduced statistical power.

  • To provide a robust tool for analyzing population stratification in whole-exome sequencing data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Principal Component-Local Linear Regression (PC-LLR) strategy.
  • Applied local linear regression combined with principal component analysis to address population stratification.
  • Validated the method through extensive simulations and analysis of real-world whole-exome sequencing data (GAW19).

  • PC-LLR effectively eliminates population stratification effects across various scenarios.
  • The method maintains correct Type I error rates, unlike some existing approaches.
  • PC-LLR demonstrates higher statistical power in most cases and shows superior performance on GAW19 data.
