This research program will look at three areas of application for resampling-based methodologies. The first is to the analysis of gene expression data arising from designed experiments and in particular to the search for gene-environment interactions. These interactions are widely hypothesized to exist in many complex diseases. Finding these interactions at a gene-expression level, however has not been easy. Standard parametric tests are not generally useful in this setting but permutation and resampling based methods can be used. Most analyses of microarrays does not take into account the dependence between genes for a single individual. There is a lot of information about gene function and relationships available, however. I will examine how we can incorporate this information into the anlysis. I will also look at ways to take genetic information into account in dealing with the multiple testing problem and estimating the false discover rate.

本研究计划将着眼于基于重采样方法的三个应用领域。 第一个是分析设计实验中的基因表达数据，特别是寻找基因与环境的相互作用。 人们广泛假设这些相互作用存在于许多复杂疾病中。 然而，在基因表达水平上发现这些相互作用并不容易。 标准参数检验在这种情况下通常没有用，但可以使用基于置换和再置换的方法。 大多数微阵列分析没有考虑单个个体基因之间的依赖性。 然而，有很多关于基因功能和关系的信息。 我将研究如何将这些信息纳入分析。 我还将研究在处理多重测试问题和估计错误发现率时考虑遗传信息的方法。
