Improved statistical evaluation of group differences in connectomes by screening-filtering strategy with application to study maturation of brain connections between childhood and adolescence

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Stephan Morgenthaler, David Paul Roger Romascano, Patric Hagmann, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

Detecting local differences between groups of connectomes is a great challenge in neuroimaging, because the large number of tests that have to be performed and the impact on multiplicity correction. Any available information should be exploited to increase ...

Baryon acoustic oscillations in the Lya forest of BOSS DR11 quasars

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the flux-correlation function of the Ly alpha forest of high-redshift quasars with a statistical significance of five standard deviations. The study uses 137 562 quasars in the redsh ...

Planck 2013 results. V. LFI calibration

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We discuss the methods employed to photometrically calibrate the data acquired by the Low Frequency Instrument on Planck. Our calibration is based on a combination of the orbital dipole plus the solar dipole, caused respectively by the motion of the Planck ...

Optimality in multiple comparison procedures

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

When many (m) null hypotheses are tested with a single dataset, the control of the number of false rejections is often the principal consideration. Two popular controlling rates are the probability of making at least one false discovery (FWER) and the expe ...

Evidence for Alternative Hypotheses

Stephan Morgenthaler, Robert Staudte

Most researchers want evidence for the direction of an effect, not evidence against a point null hypothesis. Such evidence is ideally on a scale that is easily in- terpretable, with an accompanying standard error. Further, the evidence from iden- tical exp ...

A Critical Assessment of Storytelling: Gene Ontology Categories and the Importance of Validating Genomic Scans

Jeffrey David Jensen, Alexandros Stamatakis

In the age of whole-genome population genetics, so-called genomic scan studies often conclude with a long list of putatively selected loci. These lists are then further scrutinized to annotate these regions by gene function, corresponding biological proces ...

Some Thoughts on Robustness and Multiple Testing

Stephan Morgenthaler, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji

When testing many null hypotheses, deciding which of them to reject is a subtle game. The prevailing approach consists in deciding on a level and type of control against false rejections (errors of type I) and subject to this constraint to maximize the num ...

Optimal use of conservation and accessibility filters in microRNA target prediction

Jiri Vanicek, Ray Marcel Marin Florez

It is generally accepted that filtering microRNA (miRNA) target predictions by conservation or by accessibility can reduce the false discovery rate. However, these two strategies are usually not exploited in a combined and flexible manner. Here, we introdu ...
