Title: Statistical Methods for Medical Studies
(Project 3: Use of Biomarkers in Diagnosis, Prognosis, Risk Prediction and Early Detection of Disease)
This project proposes to develop statistical methods to allow combining data sources to identify and
confirm new medical tests; to allow early termination of nonperforming biomarkers yet rigorous and
efficient estimation of new medical test performance; and to enable rigorous and efficient study designs
for disease prognosis studies when ascertainment of clinical and biomarker data from all patients in
existing biorepositories is not feasible.

Title: Statistical Methods for Medical Tests and Biomarkers
This grant will continue to develop statistical methods for the evaluation of studies that seek to
investigate the performance of biomarkers for classification and prediction. Aim 1 concerns the
improvement in performance gained by adding a marker to a set of baseline predictors. Aim 2 concerns
a coherent approach to evaluating risk prediction models and their classification performance in a
unified framework.

Title: Statistical Methods for Evaluating Markers for Treatment Selection
Interventions for disease treatment and prevention can potentially be made more cost-effective by
using markers to identify in advance the individuals most likely to benefit from the treatment, and thus
avoid treating those unlikely to benefit. This proposal will develop methods to help realize this potential,
by developing standards for evaluating candidate markers. These standards will help distinguish the
good markers from the bad, optimize how the markers are used to select treatment, and ensure that
research studies are designed so that the markers can be properly evaluated.

Title: Genome-wide Association Study on Breast Cancer within the Women’s Health Initiative
Major Goals: This study seeks to identify aspects of genotype that relate to the risk of breast and
colorectal cancer, and aspects of genotype that relate to the magnitude of intervention effects on breast
and colorectal cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) randomized controlled clinical trial (CT).
This study involves an ongoing genome-wide scan of breast cancer cases (as well as coronary heart
disease and stroke cases) and matched controls in the WHI cohorts, being carried out as a collaborative
study between Perlegen Sciences and the WHI.

Title: Statistical Methods for Integrative Analysis of Genomics and Proteomics Data
Major Goals: Recent advances in high throughput technologies have made large integration study
feasible, in which different types of data from numerous sources are collected at a genome-wide scale,
including: DNA sequences, DNA copy number alternations, mRNA expression and protein expression
measurements. The full extent of biomedical information in these studies cannot be realized without
effective statistical and computational methods. Thus, the long term goal of this research is to develop
innovative methods jointly modeling these different types of data to elucidate the large-scale modular
organization of the cell in biomedical studies.
