1 /0/8 I529: Machne Learnng n Bonformatcs Defntons Probablstc models Probablstc models A model means a system that smulates the object under consderaton A probablstc model s one that produces dfferent outcomes wth dfferent probabltes (BSA) Yuzhen Ye School of Informatcs, Computng and Computng Indana Unversty, Bloomngton Sprng 208 Fgure. The Organzaton of the ENCODE Consortum. Why probablstc models The bologcal system beng analyzed s stochastc Or nosy Or completely determnstc, but because a number of hdden varables effectng ts behavor are unknown, the observed data mght be best explaned wth a probablstc model The ENCODE Project Consortum (20) A User's Gude to the Encyclopeda of DNA Elements (ENCODE). PLoS Bol 9(4): e do:0.37/journal.pbo Probablty Example: a far 6-sded dce Experment: a procedure nvolvng chance that leads to dfferent results Outcome: the result of a sngle tral of an experment Outcome: The possble outcomes of ths experment are, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Events: ; 6; even Probablty: outcomes are equally lkely to occur Event: one or more outcomes of an experment Probablty: the measure of how lkely an event s Between 0 (wll not occur) and (wll occur) P(A) The Number Of Ways Event A Can Occur / The Total Number Of Possble Outcomes P()P(6)/6; P(even)3/6/2;

2 Random varable Random varables Y are functons that assgn a unque number to each possble outcome of an experment An example Experment: tossng a con Outcome space: {heads, tals} f heads X 0 f tals More exactly, X s a dscrete random varable P(X)/2, P(X0)/2 Probablty dstrbuton Probablty dstrbuton: the assgnment of a probablty P(x) to each outcome x. A far dce: outcomes are equally lkely to occur à the probablty dstrbuton over the all sx outcomes P(x)/6, x,2,3,4,5 or 6. A loaded dce: outcomes are unequally lkely to occur à the probablty dstrbuton over the all sx outcomes P(x)f(x), x,2,3,4,5 or 6, but åf(x). Probablty mass functon (pmf) A probablty mass functon Y s a functon that gves the probablty that a dscrete random varable s exactly equal to some value; t s often the prmary means of defnng a dscrete probablty dstrbuton An example 8 < /2 heads P (X) /2 tals : 0 others Probablty densty functon (pdf) 8 8 < < Probablty densty functons (pdf) are for : : contnuous rather than dscrete random varables; f(x) : A pdf must be ntegrated over an nterval to yeld a probablty, snce P (X x) 0 b P (a apple X apple b) f(x)dx a apple apple Cumulatve dstrbuton functon (cdf) x P (X apple x) f(t)d(t) Jont probablty Two experments (random varables) X and Y P(X,Y) à jont probablty (dstrbuton) of X and Y P(X,Y)P(X Y)P(Y)P(Y X)P(X) P(X Y)P(X), X and Y are ndependent Example: experment (selectng a dce), experment 2 (rollng the selected dce) P(y): yd or D2 P(, D)P( D)P(D) P( D)P( D2), ndependent events The probablty of a DNA sequence Event: Observng a DNA sequence Sss2 sn: s Î {A,C,G,T}; Random sequence model (or Independent and dentcally-dstrbuted,..d. model): s occurs at random wth the probablty P(s), ndependent of all other resdues n the sequence; n P(S) P( s ) Õ Ths model wll be used as a background model (or called a null hypothess). 2

3 Margnal probablty The dstrbuton of the margnal varables (the margnal dstrbuton) s obtaned by margnalzng over the dstrbuton of the varables beng dscarded (so the dscarded varables are margnalzed out) Margnalzng means consderng all possble values the unknown varables may take, and averagng over them P(X)å Y P(X Y)P(Y) P (x) P (x, y)dy Example: experment (selectng a dce), experment 2 (rollng the selected dce) P(y): yd or D2 P() P( D)P(D)+P( D2)P(D2) P( D)P( D2), ndependent events P() P( D)(P(D)+P(D2)) P( D) Condtonal probablty Condtonng the jont dstrbuton on a partcular observaton Condtonal probablty P(X Y): the measure of how lkely an event X happens under the condton Y; P (x y) Example: two dces D, D2 P( D) àprobablty for pckng usng dce D P( D2) àprobablty for pckng usng dce D2 P (x, y) P (y) P (x, y) R P (x, y)dy Probablty models A system that produces dfferent outcomes wth dfferent probabltes. It can smulate a class of objects (events), assgnng each an assocated probablty.

6 When to use MLE A drawback of MLE s that t can gve poor estmatons when the data are scarce E.g, f you flp con twce, you may only get heads, then P(tal) 0 It may be wser to apply pror knowledge (e.g, we assume P(tal) s close to 0.5) Use MAP nstead MAP Bayesan statstcs P ( D) P (D )P () P (D) P (D )P () P (D )P () MAP P P(q) à pror probablty P(q D) à posteror probablty P(D/q) àlkelhood ˆ MAP arg max P ( D) P (D )P () arg max P (D) arg max P (D )P () Example: two de Pror probabltes: far dce 0.99; loaded dce: 0.0; Loaded dce: P(6)0.5, P() P(5)0.

Specfc nherted mutatons n BRCA and BRCA2 ncrease the rsk of female breast and ovaran cancers, and they have been assocated wth ncreased rsks of several addtonal types of cancer. Together, BRCA and BRCA2 mutatons account for about 20 to 25 percent of heredtary breast cancers and about 5 to 0 percent of all breast cancers. A smple calculaton A rare mutaton n an mportant gene s observed n only 2% of the populaton. A person that carres ths mutaton n hs/her genome has 90% chance of developng a dsease. On the other hand, a person that has a normal gene (wthout mutaton) only has a 5% chance of developng ths dsease. Queston: If you tested havng ths dsease, what's your chance of carryng ths rare mutaton? 7
