摘要

A commonly used approach for estimating the number of genes that are DE in multiple experiments is to analyze the data from each experiment separately, generate a list of DE genes, and then count genes that appear in all lists (i.e., intersection method). The intersection method heavily depends on false discovery rate (FDR)-level control. The drawback of the intersection method is its high dependency on the FDR level. In this research, we proposed a Uniform–Beta mixture model for the purpose of estimating the number of genes commonly DE in multiple independent experiments. The proposed Uniform–Beta mixture model uses p values with assumption that these p values are uniformly distributed for equivalently expressed (EE) genes and are assumed to follow a right-skewed beta distribution for DE genes.
