MATH 7750 Statistical Theories Applicable to Genomics

NOT OFFERED THIS YEAR Fall. 4 credits. Next offered 2010–2011.

Focuses on statistical concepts useful in genomics (e.g., microarray data analysis) that involve a large number of populations. Discusses false discovery rate (FDR) of Benjamini and Hochberg, and Storey’s papers relating to pFDR. Also discusses the Empirical Bayes approach, which could “borrow the strength” from other populations.
