Still loving the bitter herbs risen behind the house – Vietnamese monochord: “Dan Bau”

The Dan Bau is a Vietnamese monochord (http://goo.gl/W3kJt).
This music track is performed by Master Pham Duc Thanh (http://goo.gl/tIkAt).
Song name: Still loving the bitter herbs risen behind the house
Composer: Bac Son (http://goo.gl/T21V5)
In Vietnamese: Còn thương rau đắng mọc sau hè
Lyrics:

Nắng hạ đi mây trôi lang thang cho hạ buồn
trong cỏi đốt đồng, để ngậm ngùi chim nhớ lá rừng

Ai biết mẹ buồn vui khi mẹ kêu cậu tới gần
biểu cậu ngồi, mẹ nhổ tóc sâu, hai chị em tóc bạc như nhau

Đôi mắt cậu buồn thiu, phiêu lưu rong chơi những ngày đầu hè ba vá miếng dừa để mòn sương, dãi nắng dầm mưa

Ai cách xa cội nguồn, ngồi một mình
nhớ lũy tre xanh dạo quanh, khung trời kỷ niệm
chợt thèm rau đắng nấu canh

Xin được làm mây mà bay khắp nơi giang hồ
ghé chốn quê hương xa rời người cất bước ly hương
Xin được làm gió dập dìu đưa điệu ca dao
Trái bể phiến sau cũng ngọt ngào một lời cho nhau

Xin sống lại tình yêu đơn sơ,
rong chơi những ngày đầu hè, ba vá miếng dừa để mòn sương, dãi nắng dầm mưa

Xin nắng hạ cội nguồn một mình ngồi nhớ lũy tre xanh dạo quanh, khung trời kỷ niệm
Chợt thèm rau đắng nấu canh …

Reading note: “Multiple Hypothesis Testing in Microarray Experiments”

METADATA

Article link: http://t.co/aOGb3hm

Who: Biostatistics researchers

What: Multiple hypothesis testing

Where: Microarray

When: Identification of differentially expressed genes

How: Different approaches, survey

Why: Many genes need to be tested simultaneously

What’s new:

Review times: 1

MAIN STRUCTURE

Problems:

1. DNA microarray experiments generate large multiplicity problems in which thousands of hypotheses are tested simultaneously.
2. An important and common question in DNA microarray experiments is the identification of differentially expressed genes, that is, genes whose expression levels are associated with a response or covariate of interest

Solutions:

1. Bref: The biological question of differential expression can be restated as a problem in multiple hypothesis testing: the simultaneous test for each gene of the null hypothesis of no association between the expression levels and the responses or covariates.
2. Details: In any testing situation, two types of errors can be committed: a false positive, or Type I error, is committed bydeclaring that a gene is differentially expressed when it is not, and a false negative, or Type II error, is committed when the test fails to identify a truly differentiallyexpressed gene.
3. Sub-problem: When many hypotheses are tested andeach test has a specified Type I error probability, thechance of committing some Type I errors increases,often sharply, with the number of hypotheses. Special problems that arise from the multiplicity aspect include defining an appropriate Type I error rateand devising powerful multiple testing procedures that control this error rate and account for the joint distribution of the test statistics. And the proposed solutions have not always been cast in the standard statistical framework.
