DESCRIPTION:Single-cell RNA-sequencing data analysis without double-dipping
\n\nDaniela Witten\, University of Wahsington\n Tuesday January 10\, 12-1pm
\n Zoom Link:聽https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/86855481591\n\nAbstract:聽When analyz
ing single-cell RNA-sequencing data\, we often wish to perform unsupervise
d learning of latent structure among the cells\, and then to test for asso
ciation between this latent structure and gene expression. For example\, w
e might cluster the cells into cell types\, and then test whether gene exp
ression differs between the clusters. Or we might estimate a low-dimension
al subspace representing a cellular developmental trajectory\, and then te
st whether gene expression is correlated with this trajectory. However\, a
classical statistical test of the association between gene expression and
the latent structure will not control the Type 1 error\, since the latent
structure was estimated on the same data used for hypothesis testing. Fur
thermore\, a straightforward sample splitting approach does not fix the pr
oblem.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss two solutions to this problem. The
first involves selective inference\, and the second involves 'count split
ting'\, a simple variant of sample splitting that does control the Type 1
error.\n\nThis is joint work with PhD student Anna Neufeld\, PhD alumni Lu
cy Gao (now at U. British Columbia) and Yiqun Chen (now at Stanford)\, and
collaborators Jacob Bien (USC) and Alexis Battle and Joshua Popp (Johns H
opkins).\n
