Abstract:

In this talk, I will introduce a quantile inferential method for analyzing longitudinal data. The developed rank score test is easy to implement and it is robust in performance. The proposed approach is applied to probe level microarray data for assessing differential gene expressions. I will focus on an enhanced quantile rank score test, which aims to improve the efficiency of the quantile rank score test at small samples through borrowing information across genes. The extension of rank score test to some other areas will be discussed.
