Meeting Summary for 9/30/2008

I spoke about FDR Correction and gave a brief outline of the methods involved in Multiplicity Adjustment and FDR Correction:
Multiplicity/ P Value Adjustment

- Single Step
---Boneferonni
---Sidak

- Step-down
---Holms
---Westfall & Young (min P/ max T)

FDR Correction
---Benjamini & Hochberg

Useful reference for this is : Benjamini & Hochberg 1995, J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B 57:289-300

Jang went over Hypergeometric tests, Fisher's exact test and its difference with Chi Squared Test.

For the next meeting(Friday instead of Thursday), Mike said he would look at applying Fisher's exact test and FDR Correction(GoMiner).

We also decided we would start off with an introduction to regression.

Meeting Summary for 9/25/08

I gave an overview of T-tests and ANOVA. For further information see their respective wikipedia articles. Linked here are some slides from Philip Stafford's biostatistics class a few years ago: http://www.public.asu.edu/~mverdic/stafford/

Ina gave an overview of the Binomial test Chi-square test, and saved details of KS and DA tests for Tuesday. She'll post any relevant documents in the comments of this post.

Jang will discuss Fisher's exact and Hypergeometric tests on Tuesday. He will post any pre-reading materials here in the comments.

Archana discussed p-value correction. She will discuss FDR and the beginnings of regression analysis on Tuesday. She will post any references to her talking points and pre-reading materials in the comments.

Next meeting is Tuesday at 9ish.
