Hotelling's test for highly correlated data (1007.1094v1)

Published 7 Jul 2010 in stat.OT

Abstract: This paper is motivated by the analysis of gene expression sets, especially by finding differentially expressed gene sets between two phenotypes. Gene $\log_2$ expression levels are highly correlated and, very likely, have approximately normal distribution. Therefore, it seems reasonable to use two-sample Hotelling's test for such data. We discover some unexpected properties of the test making it different from the majority of tests previously used for such data. It appears that the Hotelling's test does not always reach maximal power when all marginal distributions are differentially expressed. For highly correlated data its maximal power is attained when about a half of marginal distributions are essentially different. For the case when the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.5 this test is more powerful if only one marginal distribution is shifted, omparing to the case when all marginal distributions are equally shifted. Moreover, when the correlation coefficient increases the power of Hotelling's test increases as well.
