Abstract:

Bayesian functional data analysis provides flexible statistical inferences even for a large volume of data, considerable measurement errors and missing observations. Regarding a very long sequence of data as segments with manageable size of sequence, the neighboring segments can be dependent and demanding computation is indispensable. We model the dependency of neighboring segments with a transition model, utilize the dynamically weighted particle filter to estimate the methylation patterns at each segment, and apply Bayes factor to examine the group effect. The proposed methodology is examined through simulation studies and is applied it to identify differentially methylated regions in DNA from lung adenocarcinoma patients.
