Exploration, normalization, and summaries of high density oligonucleotide array probe level data

Rafael A. Irizarry · 1 Apr 2003

In this paper we report exploratory analyses of high-density oligonucleotide array data from the Affymetrix GeneChip system with the objective of improving upon currently used measures of gene expression. Our analyses make use of three data sets: a small experimental study consisting of five MGU74A mouse GeneChip arrays, part of the data from an extensive…

Adjusting batch effects in microarray expression data using empirical Bayes methods

W. Evan Johnson, Cheng Li, Ariel Rabinovic · 21 Apr 2006

Non-biological experimental variation or "batch effects" are commonly observed across multiple batches of microarray experiments, often rendering the task of combining data from these batches difficult. The ability to combine microarray data sets is advantageous to researchers to increase statistical power to detect biological phenomena from studies where logistical considerations restrict sample size or in…

Sparse inverse covariance estimation with the graphical lasso

Jerome H. Friedman, Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani · 12 Dec 2007

We consider the problem of estimating sparse graphs by a lasso penalty applied to the inverse covariance matrix. Using a coordinate descent procedure for the lasso, we develop a simple algorithm--the graphical lasso--that is remarkably fast: It solves a 1000-node problem ( approximately 500,000 parameters) in at most a minute and is 30-4000 times faster…

Circular binary segmentation for the analysis of array-based DNA copy number data

Adam B. Olshen, E. S. Venkatraman, R. Lucito et al. · 1 Oct 2004

DNA sequence copy number is the number of copies of DNA at a region of a genome. Cancer progression often involves alterations in DNA copy number. Newly developed microarray technologies enable simultaneous measurement of copy number at thousands of sites in a genome. We have developed a modification of binary segmentation, which we call circular…

Bayesian kernel machine regression for estimating the health effects of multi-pollutant mixtures

Jennifer F. Bobb, Linda Valeri, Birgit Claus Henn et al. · 22 Dec 2014

Because humans are invariably exposed to complex chemical mixtures, estimating the health effects of multi-pollutant exposures is of critical concern in environmental epidemiology, and to regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. However, most health effects studies focus on single agents or consider simple two-way interaction models, in part because we lack the…

Biostatistics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biostatistics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biostatistics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biostatistics use?
Biostatistics uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Biostatistics, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biostatistics?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Biostatistics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biostatistics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biostatistics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Biostatistics?
Biostatistics is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Biostatistics template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biostatistics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biostatistics template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biostatistics template cost?
You can start writing in the Biostatistics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biostatistics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
