Optimal Sparse Segment Identification With Application in Copy Number Variation Analysis
稀疏信号段的最优识别及其拷贝数变异应用
Motivated by DNA copy number variation (CNV) analysis based on high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, we consider the problem of detecting and identifying sparse short segments in a long one-dimensional sequence of data with additive Gaussian white noise, where the number, length and location of the segments are unknown. We present a statistical characterization of the identifiable region of a segment where it is possible to reliably separate the segment…
