Lee, Kyeong Eun (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Selection of signi?cant genes via expression patterns is important in a microarray problem. Owing to small sample size and large number of variables (genes), the selection process can be unstable. This research proposes a ...

Lobach, Iryna (2009-05-15)It is widely believed that risks of many complex diseases are determined by genetic susceptibilities, including environmental exposures, and their interaction. Chatterjee and Carroll (2005) have recently developed an ...

Liu, Li-yu Daisy (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)To detect dependence among variables is an essential task in many scientific investigations. In this study we propose a new measure of association, the coefficient of intrinsic dependence (CID), which takes value in [0,1] ...

Leonardi, Tety (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. However, evidence indicates that a proper diet abundant in fruits and vegetables may be protective against colon cancer development. Bioactive compounds ...

Jung, Jeesun (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)As a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite markers are available, high resolution mapping employing multiple markers or multiple allele markers is an important step to identify quantitative ...
-
George, Nysia I. (2010-01-16)Microarray technology has become a dynamic tool in gene expression analysis because it allows for the simultaneous measurement of thousands of gene expressions. Uniqueness in experimental units and microarray data platforms, ...

Leyk Williams, Malgorzata (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Intestinal tract cancer is one of the more common cancers in the United States. While in some individuals a genetic component causes the cancer, the rate of cancer in the remainder of the population is believed to be ...

Apanasovich, Tatiyana Vladimirovna (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In an experiment to understand colon carcinogenesis, all animals were exposed to a carcinogen while half the animals were also exposed to radiation. Spatially, we measured the existence of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), namely ...
