Full textTo establish a model for electropherogram data, we explore two Bayesian wavelet approaches to modelling functions (Chipman et al., 1997 ; M. Clyde et al., 1998) as well as a Bayesian Adaptive Regression Splines approach (DiMatteo et al., 2001). Furthermore, we establish our own genotyping algorithm, once again circumventing the need for GeneMapper R, and obtain posterior probabilities for the resulting genotypes.
With a model in place for single-source DNA samples, we develop an algorithm that deconvolves a two-person mixture into its separate components and provides the posterior probabilities for the resulting genotype combinations.
In addition, because of the widely recognized need to perform further research on continuous models in mixture interpretation and the difficulty in obtaining the necessary data to do so (due to privacy laws and laboratory restrictions), a tool for simulating realistic data is of the utmost importance. PCRSIM (Gill et al., 2005) is the most popular simulation software for this purpose. We propose a method for refining the parameter estimates used in PCRSIM in order to simulate more accurate data.
Cette dissertation établit les fondations nécessaires à la création d'un modèle continu servant à l'interprétation des échantillons d'ADN à sources multiples (mélanges). Nous prenons une nouvelle approche de la modélisation des données d'´electrophérogrammes en modélisant l'électrophérogramme en tant que courbe plutôt que de modéliser l'aire sous la courbe des sommets alléliques. Cette approche nous permet de conserver toutes les données disponibles et d'éviter l'estimation de l'aire sous la courbe au moyen de GeneMapper R (Applied Biosystems, 2003). Deux problèmes associés à l'utilisation de ce programme - des coûts prohibitifs et une procédure brevetée - sont ainsi évités.
Afin d'établir un modèle pour les données d'électrophérogramme, nous explorons deux approches bayésiennes pour la modélisation des fonctions par ondelettes (Chipman et al., 1997 ; M. Clyde et al., 1998) de même qu'une approche connue sous le nom de Bayesian Adaptive Regression Splines (DiMatteo et al., 2001). De plus, nous élaborons notre propre algorithme pour l'analyse des génotypes, nous permettant, encore une fois, d'éviter GeneMapper R, et d'obtenir les probabilités postérieures des génotypes résultants.
À l'aide d'un modèle d'échantillon d'ADN à source unique, nous développons un algorithme qui divise un échantillon de deux personnes en ses composantes séparées et estime les probabilités postérieures des différentes combinaisons possibles de génotype.
De plus, en raison des lacunes dans la littérature sur les modèles continus pour l'analyse d'échantillons d'ADN à sources multiples et de la difficulté à obtenir les données n´ecessaire pour l'effectuer (en raison des lois sur la protection de la vie privée et des restrictions en laboratoire), un outil qui simule des données réalistes est de la plus grande importance. PCRSIM (Gill et al., 2005) est un outil qui permet de répondre à ce besoin. Par cet outil, nous proposons une méthode pour raffiner les estimations des paramètres afin de simuler des données plus précises.

Preference testing is a popular method of determining consumer preferences for a variety of products in areas such as sensory analysis, animal welfare, and pharmacology. However, many prominent models for this type of data do not allow different probabilities of preferring one product over the other for each individual consumer, called overdispersion, which intuitively exists in real-world situations. We investigate the Two-Parameter variation of the Item Response Model (IRM) in the context of replicated preference testing. Because the IRM is most commonly applied to multiple-choice testing, our primary focus is the interpretation of the model parameters with respect to preference testing and the evaluation of the model’s usefulness in this context. We fit a Bayesian version of the Two-Parameter Probit IRM (2PP) to two real-world datasets, Raisin Bran and Cola, as well as five hypothetical datasets constructed with specific parameter properties in mind. The values of the parameters are sampled via the Gibbs Sampler and examined using various plots of the posterior distributions. Next, several different models and prior distribution specifications are compared over the Raisin Bran and Cola datasets using the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC). The Two-Parameter IRM is a useful tool in the context of replicated preference testing, due to its ability to accommodate overdispersion, its intuitive interpretation, and its flexibility in terms of parameterization, link function, and prior specification. However, we find that this model brings computational difficulties in certain situations, some of which require creative solutions. Although the IRM can be interpreted for replicated preference testing scenarios, this data typically contains few replications, while the model was designed for exams with many items. We conclude that the IRM may provide little evidence for marketing decisions, and it is better-suited for exploring the nature of consumer preferences early in product development.

"Bayesian methods applied to the interpretation of multiple OSL dates: high precision sediment ages from Old Scatness Broch excavations, Shetland Isles." 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/3637.
Full textIn this paper, we illustrate the ways in which Bayesian statistical techniques may be used to enhance chronological resolution when applied to a series of OSL sediment dates. Such application can achieve an optimal chronological model by incorporating stratigraphic and age information. The application to luminescence data is not straightforward owing to the sources of uncertainty in each date, and here we present one solution to overcoming these difficulties, and introduce the concept of "unshared systematic" errors. Using OSL sediment dates from the site of Old Scatness Broch, Shetland Isles, UK, many measured with a high degree of precision, we illustrate some of the ways in which Bayesian techniques may be applied, as a tool for assessing systematic errors when combined with independent chronological information, and to determine the optimum chronological information for specific events and contexts. We provide a detailed procedure for the application of Bayesian methods to OSL dates using the widely available radiocarbon calibration programme OxCal.
