Experiment design beyond gut feeling: statistical tests and power to detect differential metabolites in mass spectrometry data

ABSTRACT: We use metabolite profiles of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana measured on an UPLC-ESI/QqTOF-MS as a pilot study to estimate variance levels which then can be used to obtain several statistical parameters (e.g. minimum detectable effect, number of required replicates and error probabilities) which influence the design of a subsequent study.

Project description:Microarray data analysis Intensity of 21,939 gene features per array was extracted from scanned microarray images using Feature Extraction 5.1.1 software (Agilent Technologies), which performs background subtractions and dye normalization. This normalization method is targeted at detecting changes in relative expression of individual genes rather than global expression. Global expression change would require external normalization controls (van de Peppel et al., 2003). Text output was processed using an application developed in-house to perform ANOVA analysis (http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov/ANOVA/). Intensity of features measured with a >50% error were replaced with missing values except features with very low intensity. Surrogate values equal to mean error were inserted for values that were negative or less than the probe error. Data were analyzed using ANOVA with embryonic stage as a factor. The small number of biological replications typical in expression profiling experiments results in a highly variable error variance, and this problem is usually addressed by log-ratio thresholds (Schena et al., 1995) that require subjective decisions about biological significance, or by Bayesian adjustment of error variance (Baldi and Long, 2001), which may still underestimate error variance and result in false positive results. To reduce false-positives, we opted for a very conservative error model in which error variance that is used for estimating F-statistics is the maximum of the actual error variance for this gene and the average error variance in 500 genes with similar average intensity. Statistical significance was determined using the False Discovery Rate (FDR = 10%) method (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995). Pair-wise mean comparison was done with t-statistics and FDR=10%. Further data processing including scatter plots, hierarchical clustering, and principal component analysis (PCA) were also performed through NIA microarray analysis tool (http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov/ANOVA/).
