Multiple changes at the DNA level are at the basis of complex diseases. Identifying the genetic networks that are influenced by these changes might help in understanding the development of these diseases. Canonical correlation analysis is used to associate gene expressions with DNA-markers and...

The reciprocal of serum creatinine concentration, RC, is often used as a biomarker to monitor renal function. It has been observed that RC trajectories remain relatively stable after transplantation until a certain moment, when an irreversible decrease in the RC levels occurs. This decreasing...

We provide a method for calculating the sample size required to attain a given average power (the ratio of rejected hypotheses to the number of false hypotheses) and a given false discovery rate (the number of incorrect rejections divided by the number of rejections) in adaptive versions of the...

Simulation studies examined the effect of misspecificationof the latent ability (θ) distribution on the accuracyand efficiency of marginal maximum likelihood(MML) item parameter estimates and on MML statisticsto test sufficiency and conditional independence. Resultswere compared to the...
