Outline • Motivation and Background • Computational framework • Experiments and Results • Summary
Copy number aberration and Array CGH • DNA copy number (a.k.a. dosage state) • Normal: 2 DNA copies • Aberrations: deletion(0 copy), loss (1 copy), gain(3 copies), amplification(>3 copies) • Array CGH: a high throughput method to measure DNA copy number
Array CGH data • Ideally, • Deletion (0 copy): LR = log(0/2) = • Loss (1 copy): LR = log(1/2) = -1 • Normal (2 copies): LR = log(2/2) = 0 • Gain (3 copies): LR = log(3/2) = 0.58 • Amplification (>=4 copies): LR >= log(4/2) = 1
However… • Factors influencing the LR values • Impurity of the test sample(e.g.mixture of normal and cancer cells) • Variations of hybridization efficiency • Base compositions of different probes • Saturation of array • Divergent sequence lengths of the clones • Many others… • Measurement noises, etc…
Segmental pattern and spatial drift Spatial drift Segmental pattern
Existing Computational Methods • Threshold Method • Mixture Models (e.g. Hodgson et al., 2001) • Assume observations are iid samples from a mixture distribution. • Regression Models (e.g., Hsu et al., 2005; Myers et al., 2004) • Smoothing for visual inspection to detect copy number states. • Segmentation Models (e.g. Hupé et al., 2004) • Directly search for breakpoints in sequential data; • Spatial Dynamics Models (e.g. Fridlyand et al., 2004)
Spatial Dynamic Methods • Hidden Markov Models • Dosage states form a Markov chain of hidden variables • Observed LR ratios are generated from state-specific Gaussian distributions dosage states LR ratios
Dosage-Specific Kalman Filters • Introduce hidden trajectory to model state-specific LR distributions (no longer fixed mean) Linear Dynamics for dosage state m
Switching Kalman Filters Trajectory 1 Trajectory M Dosage state chain • A SKF generates observations from one of the trajectories.
Posterior Inference • Dosage annotation is equivalent to the estimate of the posterior . • Recovering the hidden trajectory: .
Variational Inference • Posterior Inference is intractable. • Variational inference: decouple the hidden chains. • Decoupled chains have tractable distributions.
Variational Inference • Use this tractable distribution to approximate the true distribution by minimizing KL divergence. • Fixed point equations to update the variational parameters.
Parameter Sharing • The CGH dataset contains whole-genome measurements for multiple individuals. • Chromosome-specific parameters shared across individuals: • Individual-specific parameters shared across chromosomes: trajectory parameters: All other parameters e.g. output noise variance
Experiment Design • Simulation Analysis: • Data generated from SKFs. • Compare with: threshold, HMM. • aCGH profiles of 125 colorectal tumors (Nakao et al. 2004) • Case studies of 3 representative chromosomes. • Populational analysis over 125 genomes

M is selected by AIC. • We also have done experiments to compare SKF with segmentation methods (result now shown here).
