Luận văn clustering of strata means based on pairwise l1 regularized empirical likelihood

Iпƚг0duເƚi0п

Cluster analysis is one of the most widely used methods in medical research, aiding in the identification of genes that are differentially expressed between cancer and healthy subjects In recent years, many researchers have focused on using penalized estimation to address clustering problems The concept of L1 pairwise penalty was introduced by Pan et al (2013) and Xie et al (2008) for clustering issues, and further explored by Zhu and Qu (2018) for the clustering of longitudinal surveys These authors proposed a method using a non-complex penalty on the pairwise difference between cluster centers This dissertation generalizes such an idea to the clustering of strata means from a population To enhance robustness, the family of distribution of the strata is not specified, and a non-parametric empirical likelihood approach of Owen (1998) is adopted In both medicine and social studies, it is interesting to classify age groups (strata) according to the sizes of the gene-deferred (population) effects, requiring sparsity in the estimates of pairwise differences, with a preference for zeros in the estimates.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of previous studies in the field, highlighting key works by Agresti et al (2008), Gelman et al (2012), Gelman et al (2004), and Lin et al (2014) It is noteworthy that both clustering and pairwise comparisons aim to determine if pairs of strata share the same mean, despite some philosophical differences Classical multiple comparison and pairwise comparison methods, including Bonferroni's method (1936), Tukey's method (1949), and Dunnett's multiple range procedure (Dunnett, 1995), are summarized in the works of Miller (1981) and Hochberg and Tamhane (1987).

There is a clear distinction between the clustering approach and multiple comparison approaches Clustering methods never generate conclusive results, while most existing multiple comparison methods, including pairwise comparisons, are unable to rule out the possibility of concluding that, for example, group 1 equals group 2, group 2 equals group 3, but group 1 does not equal group 3, where groups 1, 2, and 3 are the strata means Although the contents of other methods and concepts are introduced in the literature, such as Gabriel (1969) and Sönnemann, they still face limitations in providing definitive conclusions.

In 1995, Tsa0 and Wu conducted a study on the empirical likelihood version of the two-sample mean test Wu and Yan (2012) proposed a weighted two-sample empirical likelihood method to test the difference of two population means Liu, Zou, and Zhang (2008) constructed an empirical likelihood method for assessing the difference in means of two-dimensional samples, utilizing Hotelling's T statistic Additionally, Gao and Van Keilegom (2006) developed an empirical likelihood-based test for the equality of the distributions of two populations The empirical likelihood ratio test has been extensively studied in the literature, as noted by Qin and Lawless.

Chapter 1 introduces model assumptions, highlighting that Tukey’s method requires homogeneity of variance and normally distributed observations The methods outlined by German et al (2004) and Lin et al (2014) are non-parametric, with German et al specifically designed for pairwise comparisons of gene-expression level data Extending this method to general pairwise comparison problems is not trivial Lin et al (2014) focus on categorical data generated from multinomial distribution To achieve a more general approach to non-parametric pairwise difference estimation, it is interesting to consider the empirical likelihood approach, where each observed value constitutes one category.

The application of penalized empirical likelihood regression analysis is explored, highlighting its limitations in pairwise difference estimation This dissertation illustrates that the penalized likelihood approach enables control over family-wise error rates at a fixed significance level of 0.05 Notably, with larger sample sizes, it is possible to achieve consistent estimates, ensuring that the estimated means of the strata share the same true mean By formulating and testing hypotheses as a penalized regression problem, similarities among properties can be identified, allowing for the consideration of sparse estimation problems when some differences are zero Consequently, this approach can be viewed as a multiple hypothesis testing problem Additionally, we adapted the L1 penalized empirical likelihood method for a single hypothesis testing scenario.

The remainder of this dissertation is structured into three chapters Chapter 2 discusses the penalized estimation problem for clustering strata means, presented under empirical analysis.

Chapter 1 introduces the penalized empirical likelihood maximization problem and presents the algorithm for solving it The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using both simulated and real data In Chapter 3, we reformulate the hypothesis testing as a variable selection problem under the penalized empirical likelihood approach, and we establish a connection between our method and the well-known empirical likelihood ratio test (see Owen, 2001) Examples of simulation and real data are provided in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 This is followed by a brief overview of the dissertation in Chapter 4, where potential extensions of the proposed method are discussed.

In this chapter, we propose a penalized empirical likelihood method for the clustering of strata means from a population through penalization of pairwise differences between strata means This method enables us to obtain sparse pair-difference mean estimates and to merge all equality strata means into the same cluster Specifically, we consider two scenarios: (1) a one-population case where the strata are classified according to the means, and (2) a two-population case where the strata are classified according to the population effects on the strata.

In penalized empirical likelihood estimation, the performance of the penalized empirical likelihood depends on the proper choice of tuning parameters Tang and Leng (2010) utilized the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) proposed by Wang et al (2009) to select the penalization parameter for the penalized empirical likelihood method They demonstrated that BIC can effectively identify the true model consistency Unfortunately, their theoretical results are developed for regression problems, which cannot be directly applied to the pairwise difference estimation problem This chapter proposes a new Bayesian information criterion definition for the L1 penalty on the pairwise differences.

This chapter is organized as follows: Section 2.2 introduces a new L1 regularized empirical likelihood estimation method In Section 2.3, we propose a new Bayesian information criterion for selecting the tuning parameter The algorithm is designed to enhance the selection process.

Chapter 2 discusses Strata Mean Clustering through Regularized Empirical Likelihood Section 2.4 derives the proposed objective function, while Section 2.5 establishes the consistency theorem and the technical proofs Simulation studies in Section 2.6 indicate that the proposed method demonstrates good performance in pairwise estimation of a vast amount of samples Section 2.7 showcases the application using a microarray dataset of breast cancer patients Finally, Section 2.8 includes remarks to discuss the potential extension of the proposed method.

First, consider the one-population case Suppose there are independent strata of the same population Denote the mean from a collection of independent random vectors $\{X_{ik}\}$ in the $i$-th strata, where $i = 1, \ldots, m$ We are interested in sparse estimation of $\alpha_i - \alpha_j$, which implies that zeros are preferred Let $x_{i1}, x_{i2}, \ldots, x_{in_i}$ be the observations in the $i$-th strata For simplicity, assume there are no ties in the data Let $\rho_i = (\rho_{i1}, \ldots, \rho_{in_i})$ and $\rho_{ik} = P(X_{ik} = x_{ik} | \text{strata } i)$ satisfy both $0 < \rho_{ik} < 1$ and $\sum \rho_{ik} = 1$.

The empirical log-likelihood for the i-th strata is given by the equation $ l_i(\rho_i) = \sum_{k=1}^{m} \log(\rho_{ik}) $ The joint empirical log-likelihood function can be expressed as $ l(\rho_1, \ldots, \rho_m) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \sum_{k=1}^{m} \log(\rho_{ik}) $ We propose to maximize the following regularized empirical likelihood function.

Q(ρ 1, , ρ m ) = l(ρ 1, , ρ m ) − λ 1≤i 0\) is a tuning parameter, while $w = (w_{ij})$ represents a weight matrix that can either be fixed or computed from the data When $w_{ij} = 1$ is chosen, the resulting pairwise $L_1$ penalty becomes a special case of the generalized Lasso as discussed by Tibshirani and Taylor (2011).

In the context of regression analysis, it is well-documented that the Lasso shrinkage method produces biased estimates when the coefficients are large (Zou, 2006) To reduce the bias of the Lasso and achieve a faster and more accurate algorithm, the adaptive Lasso with weights can be employed.

In 1987 and later in 2010, researchers highlighted the importance of controlling the Family-Wise Error Rate (FWER) at a pre-specified level, such as 0.05 However, due to the absence of an explicit formula, they proposed a bootstrap approach for approximating FWER For further insights into the applications of bootstrap methods in multiple comparisons, refer to the works of Efron and Tibshirani (1993) and Kleinman and Huang (2016) Additionally, one can utilize simple grid-point searches to enhance the analysis.

In their studies, Waŋ and Leŋ (2007) and VаriɡaƚҺ et al (2010) explored the empirical likelihood of information retrieval The initial problem of estimating likelihood has been reformulated as a regularized likelihood estimation problem, suggesting that the concepts of information retrieval developed in regression analysis are also applicable Our simulation experiments, discussed in Section 5, indicate that a greater penalty term, log(m), in BIC results in improved performance of classification.

For the definition of $ G $, it is necessary that $ Q^{**}(a, \theta^{*}(a)) $ exists for any point $ a $ in the compact set $ \Pi $ It is sufficient to demonstrate that $ Q^{**}(a, \theta^{*}(a)) > Q^{**}(a^{\dagger}, \theta^{*}(a^{\dagger})) $ for all boundary points of $ \Pi $ with a probability approaching one If this condition holds, the minimum attainable must occur at the boundary, indicating that it is an interior point Consequently, the local minimum is found within $ \Pi $ Under condition (A3), when $ a $ is in $ \Pi $,

Chapter 2 Strata Mean Clustering via Regularized Empirical Likelihood 23 à

Simulaƚi0п sƚudies

Simulation studies are conducted in this section to evaluate the finite-sample performance of the proposed stratified sampling method The one-population stratified problem is investigated in Example 1, while the two-population counterexample is discussed in Example 2.

All experiments in the examples are repeated 100 times The performances are measured using two criteria The first criterion is the mean misclassification, which refers to the proportion of incorrect conclusions among $ \frac{m(m - 1)}{2} $ hypotheses The second criterion is $ s $, where $ s = 1, 2, \ldots, e $, representing the accumulated number of strata of the first biggest clusters.

Simulated data is tested using three different methods based on BIE1, BIE2, and FWER respectively The FWER is controlled at a significance level of 0.05, following the methodology outlined in Section 2.2.

Consider one-population problems with two cases: balanced data and unbalanced data In balanced data cases, we assume that all strata have the same sample size Under this assumption, the influences of model, strata-variance, number of true clusters, and distances between cluster-means are evaluated Two models are compared: chi-square distribution and gamma distribution with fixed variances at 1, 2, 3, and 4 Notably, the chi-square distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution, with parameters m = 40, 200 and four levels of strata-sample size n: 20, 50, 100, and 500 In the simulation, the built-in mean-dependent variance is considered, with two levels for the number of strata, each cluster containing an equal number of strata The detailed results are reported in Table.

The study utilized gamma-distributed data with a shape parameter of 1, as summarized in Tables 1 and 2, which present the results of misclassification for various settings Three different simulations were conducted, including one cluster with a mean of 4, two clusters with means of 4 and 8, and four clusters with means of 3, 5, 7, and 9 Overall, the criteria BI1, BI2, and FWER were evaluated to assess the performance of the models.

Chapter 2 discusses Strata Mean Clustering through Regularized Empirical Likelihood, highlighting that for large sample sizes (n = 500), the performance of BI2 and FWER is superior to BI1 in small sample cases Additionally, misclassification rates are lower under fixed-variance Gamma cases, indicating differences between varying-variance and fixed-variance scenarios Table 3 compares Gamma distributions at different variance levels, revealing that misclassification rates for both BI1 and BI2 increase with higher variance, although BI2 consistently yields smaller misclassification rates than BI1 In summary, the variance of the distribution plays a crucial role in the finite-sample performance of classification, making effective control of variance essential for optimal performance.

Table 4 illustrates the impact of the distances between cluster means In cases where the cluster means are closer to each other, the misclassification rates tend to be higher, particularly when the sample size is small, regardless of whether the variance is large or small.

Tables 5 and 6 illustrate the cumulative proportions of strata for the first s clusters, where s = 1, 2, , n In ideal scenarios without misclassification, the proportions are as follows: for one-cluster cases, e1 = 100%; for two-cluster cases, e1 = 50% and e2 = 100%; and for four-cluster cases, e1 = 25%, e2 = 50%, e3 = 75%, and e4 = 100% It is evident that for both m = 40 and m = 200 cases, the misclassification decreases as the sample size increases.

Unbalanced data cases: To assess the influence of unbalanced strata sample sizes on the performance of the proposed method, the strata sample sizes are generated randomly with ranges, specifically (20, 40) and (90, 110).

The analysis indicates that 100 is considered the number of strata The settings of the clustering method are consistent with those in Case 1, and the results are summarized in Table 7 It is evident from the table that the proposed clustering method is also applicable to the unbalanced cases Generally, the two criteria BIC2 and FWEG outperform BIC1.

The differences in strata are then added to the strata means of Population Two In the simulation, each cluster contains an equal number of strata Within the same cluster, strata are the same but allowed to differ Consider two levels of the number of strata, m = 40 and 200, along with six settings of sample sizes.

The variance of the gamma distribution is set to 1, with results summarized in Table 7 The findings demonstrate the misclassification results of the gamma distribution model, including the variance, number of true clusters, and distances between cluster means, which are similar to those in Example 1 and are not included for brevity This example further confirms that the proposed penalized empirical likelihood method can be applied to two-population stratified classification problems.

Between 1981 and 2017, a study considered a group of 37 entities, all sharing the same sample size The absolute returns were calculated using the formula \$| \log(S_t / S_{t-1}) |\$, where \$S_t\$ represents the stock price at time \$t\$ It is well-known among econometricians that financial data undergo regime switching, and the stock returns are not identically distributed, as noted by Andreou and Ghysels (2002) Additionally, it is a significant fact that volatility exhibits certain time-varying patterns, as described in the established autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model In this example, absolute returns are utilized to characterize volatility, with results presented in Table 9.

This study examines the breast cancer data from Van 't Veer et al (2002) and employs pairwise gene comparisons as utilized in Gemań et al (2004) The dataset consists of gene expression profiles measured in 78 primary breast cancer cases: 34 from patients who developed distant metastases within 5 years (Population One) and 44 from patients who remained disease-free for at least 5 years (Population Two) All patients were lymph node negative and under 55 years of age at diagnosis Profiles were obtained using Hu25K microarrays, comprising 24,480 human probe sequences.

In this real data example, we aim to identify genes that can serve as indicators for distinguishing "good prognosis" from "poor prognosis" using long and short interval distance measures By employing the proposed regularized empirical likelihood method, the genes are classified according to the gene-expression-level difference between two populations Below, the notation refers to the gene-expression levels.

Table 5 indicates that the penalized empirical likelihood test and the empirical likelihood ratio test yield the same conclusion for three pairs of treatments For both pairs of treatments (1,2) and (1,3), both tests reject the null hypothesis at a significance level of 0 This suggests that the mean survival time of Treatment 1 is significantly different from that of Treatment 2.

Both tests indicate that Treatment 2 and Treatment 3 share the same mean survival time.

The penalized empirical likelihood method has been widely utilized in statistical inference This chapter demonstrates that by choosing tuning parameters appropriately, the penalized empirical likelihood can lead to testing procedures with probabilities of committing Type I errors controlled at a predetermined level The resulting penalized empirical likelihood tests perform comparably to the traditional empirical likelihood ratio tests in terms of their power.

The article discusses an intriguing future research direction aimed at extending the penalized empirical likelihood method to multiple test problems In certain scenarios, researchers may be interested in two or more null hypotheses involving multiple scalar-valued functions, such as $H_0: g_1(a) = 0$, $H_0: g_2(a) = 0$, , $H_0: g_p(a) = 0$ In a simultaneous test, one can either accept all null hypotheses or reject all of them, considering the null hypothesis $H_0$ where all $H_0: g_1, H_0: g_2, , H_0: g_p$ hold against $H_1: \text{not } H_0$ In a multiple test scenario, accepting some of the null hypotheses is permitted.

The penalized empirical likelihood function is represented as $ G(a) = (g_1(a), g_2(a), \ldots, g_\rho(a))^T $ This function plays a crucial role in statistical analysis and is often utilized in academic research, including master's theses and university dissertations.

The critical value $ \lambda $ can be selected as $ 0.05 $ or $ 0.01 $ to control error rates at a fixed level Family-wise error rates and false discovery rates, as defined by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995), are commonly used General discussions on multiple comparison methods can be found in Hochberg and Tamhane (1987) and Miller (1981) The full mathematical treatment of error control under a penalized likelihood framework is discussed in another paper and is not provided here This presents an interesting direction for future research.

In this dissertation, we developed and implemented a novel pairwise L1 regularized empirical likelihood method to estimate strata means Our proposed method incorporates a penalty on pairwise differences between the strata means to achieve the sparsity of pair-differences estimation and the merging of the estimated strata means To avoid specifying a parametric family for data, we adopted a non-parametric empirical likelihood approach based on Owen (1998) We also derived selection estimates of the proposed penalized empirical likelihood method To illustrate the method, we simulated data from gamma and chi-square distributions, considering the influence of variance on performance Simulation results demonstrated excellent finite sample performance of the selection estimates and classification We applied the new method to breast cancer data, chronic myelogenous leukemia survival data, and stock market data Overall, the strength of this approach lies in avoiding intrusive conclusions, with all strata classified correctly with high probability Both theoretical and numerical examples confirm the merits of the new pairwise comparisons approach.

The problem of hypothesis testing is equivalent to the penalized likelihood estimation problem From this perspective, we believe that clustering can be considered as multiple hypothesis testing problems In Chapter 3 of this dissertation, we reformulated one hypothesis testing using L1 regularized empirical likelihood The tuning parameter in the L1 penalty plays the same role as the level of significance in the traditional hypothesis testing problem Additionally, the link between the proposed method and the well-known empirical likelihood ratio test by Owen (2001) is provided Simulation studies and real data examples further confirm the effectiveness of the approach.

This article discusses the significance of master's theses and university dissertations from Thai Nguyen University, highlighting the effectiveness of the methods used in these academic works It emphasizes the importance of thorough discussion and conclusive insights derived from the research conducted.

The intriguing extension of the approach is to explore the regularized empirical likelihood to illustrate strata means in high-dimensional problems Another interesting research direction is to investigate the selection consistency of BI estimators for pair differences estimation.
