Identification of interactions between molecular features (e.g. mutation, gene expression change) and gross phenotypes in diseases and other biological processes is one of the important challenges in genomic research. Popular approaches such as GSEA are limited to hypothesis tests of bivariate association. However, a specific phenotype is often dependent upon multiple molecular features. It is thus worth considering all possible interactions jointly for a more precise and realistic…

Using Copulas for Bayesian Meta-analysis
- MathematicsStatistics in Biosciences
- 2021
A Bayesian model is proposed for meta-analysis of treatment effectiveness data which are generally discrete Binomial and sparse and a bivariate class of priors is imposed to accommodate a wide range of heterogeneity between the multicenter clinical trials involved in the study.

The proposed method addresses the discovery of a relatively small panel of genes whose elements are associated with a relevant clinical outcome variable such as time‐to‐death or time-to‐recurrence of disease by direct incorporation of the censoring mechanism and by appropriate statistical adjustment for multiplicity.

A statistical framework for determining whether a specified group of genes for a pathway has a coordinated association with a phenotype of interest is proposed, and it is shown that the differences in the correlation structure of each set of genes can lead to a biased comparison among gene sets unless a normalization procedure is applied.

It is shown that gene expression signatures can be identified that reflect the activation status of several oncogenic pathways and linked with sensitivity to therapeutics that target components of the pathway provides an opportunity to make use of these oncogens pathway signatures to guide the use of targeted therapeutics.
