We consider a new frequentist gene expression index for Affymetrix oligonucleotide DNA arrays, using a similar probe intensity model as suggested by Hein and others (2005), called the Bayesian gene expression index (BGX). According to this model, the perfect match and mismatch values are assumed to be correlated as a result of sharing a common gene expression signal. Rather than a Bayesian approach, we develop a maximum likelihood algorithm for estimating the underlying common signal. In this way, estimation is explicit and much faster than the BGX implementation. The observed Fisher information matrix, rather than a posterior credibility interval, gives an idea of the accuracy of the estimators. We evaluate our method using benchmark spike-in data sets from Affymetrix and GeneLogic by analyzing the relationship between estimated signal and concentration, i.e. true signal, and compare our results with other commonly used methods.

Short-tailed distributions and inliers Akkaya, Ayşen (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-08-01) We consider two families of short-tailed distributions (kurtosis less than 3) and discuss their usefulness in modeling numerous real life data sets. We develop estimation and hypothesis testing procedures which are efficient and robust to short-tailed distributions and inliers.
Estimation and hypothesis testing in multivariate linear regression models under non normality İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) This paper discusses the problem of statistical inference in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are non normally distributed. We consider multivariate t-distribution, a fat-tailed distribution, for the errors as alternative to normal distribution. Such non normality is commonly observed in working with many data sets, e.g., financial data that are usually having excess kurtosis. This distribution has a number of applications in many other areas of research as well. We use modifie...
Time series AR(1) model for short-tailed distributions Akkaya, AD; Tiku, ML (Informa UK Limited, 2005-04-01) The innovations in AR(1) models in time series have primarily been assumed to have a normal or long-tailed distributions. We consider short-tailed distributions (kurtosis less than 3) and derive modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimators. We show that the MML estimator of 0 is considerably more efficient than the commonly used least squares estimator and is also robust. This paper is essentially the first to achieve robustness to inliers and to various forms of short-tailedness in time series analysis.
Autoregressive models with short-tailed symmetric distributions Akkaya, Ayşen (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Symmetric short-tailed distributions do indeed occur in practice but have not received much attention particularly in the context of autoregression. We consider a family of such distributions and derive the modified maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters. We show that the estimators are efficient and robust. We develop hypothesis-testing procedures.
Representation of Multiplicative Seasonal Vector Autoregressive Moving Average Models Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-11-01) Time series often contain observations of several variables and multivariate time series models are used to represent the relationship between these variables. There are many studies on vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) models, but the representation of multiplicative seasonal VARMA models has not been seriously studied. In a multiplicative vector model, such as a seasonal VARMA model, the representation is not unique because of the noncommutative property of matrix multiplication. In this articl...
