JSM 2005 Online Program

Abstract #304774

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.

The views expressed here are those of the individual authors
and not necessarily those of the ASA or its board, officers, or staff.

The Program has labeled the meeting rooms with "letters" preceding the name of the room, designating in which facility the room is located:

Minneapolis Convention Center = “MCC” Hilton Minneapolis Hotel = “H” Hyatt Regency Minneapolis = “HY”

Abstract:	The utility of data integration and synthesis in scientific inference has been recognized in many scientific disciplines, including the medical, biological, and social sciences. For example, results from metaanalysis and systematic reviews are being used increasingly in important clinical and health care policy decisions. A more recent phenomenon is the unprecedented explosion in the amount of data being generated through a variety of high-throughput technologies such as microarray experiments. These technologies undergo constant change, leaving behind a trail of data with different forms, shapes, and sizes. Statistical and computational methodologies are therefore critical for extracting the most out of these related but not identical sources of data. We have extended traditional effect size models to combine information from different microarray datasets by incorporating a quality measure for each gene in each study into the effect size estimation. We illustrate our approach with publicly available microarray datasets.
