2015 journal article

False discovery control in large-scale spatial multiple testing

JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY SERIES B-STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY, 77(1), 59–83.

By: W. Sun *, B. Reich n , T. Cai *, M. Guindani * & A. Schwartzman n

author keywords: Compound decision theory; False cluster rate; False discovery exceedance; False discovery rate; Large-scale multiple testing; Spatial dependence
TL;DR: A unified theoretical and computational framework for false discovery control in multiple testing of spatial signals is developed and oracle procedures which optimally control the false discovery rate, false discovery exceedance and false cluster rate are derived. (via Semantic Scholar)

Complete Effect-Profile Assessment in Association Studies With Multiple Genetic and Multiple Environmental Factors

GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY, 39(2), 122–133.

By: Z. Wang n, A. Maity n , Y. Luo n, M. Neely * & J. Tzeng n

author keywords: factor-set association analysis; kernel machine regression; genetic-environmental interactions; joint and conditional tests
MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Environment; Gene-Environment Interaction; Genetic Predisposition to Disease; Genome-Wide Association Study / methods; Humans; Models, Genetic; Software
TL;DR: The issues encountered in constructing kernels for investigating interactions between two factor‐sets are illustrated, and a simple yet intuitive solution to construct the G×E kernel that retains the ease‐of‐interpretation of classic regression is proposed. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 article

Answering the Call for Improved Chemical Alternatives Assessments (CAA)

Tickner, J. A., Dorman, D. C., & Sheton-Davenport, M. (2015, February 17). ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, Vol. 49, pp. 1995–1996.

By: J. Tickner *, D. Dorman n & M. Sheton-Davenport

MeSH headings : Chemical Industry; Green Chemistry Technology / methods; Green Chemistry Technology / standards; Humans; Research; Risk Assessment
TL;DR: It is critical that CAA processes be flexible so they can be adapted to varied decision contexts and avoid “paralysis by analysis”, and that emerging developments in toxicity testing be able to support the evaluation, comparison and design of safer chemicals and materials.

2015 journal article

A comparison of pet and purpose-bred research dog (Canis familiaris) performance on human-guided object-choice tasks

BEHAVIOURAL PROCESSES, 110, 60–67.

By: L. Lazarowski n & D. Dorman n

author keywords: Domestic dog; Object-choice task; Social cognition; Purpose-bred dog
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Choice Behavior / physiology; Cues; Dogs / physiology; Gestures; Human-Animal Bond; Humans; Male
TL;DR: It is found that while pet dogs followed the momentary distal point above chance levels, research dogs did not, and the results indicate that ontogenetic experiences may influence a domestic dog's ability to use human gestures, highlighting the importance of testing different sub-populations of domestic dogs.
