how to prepare data for calculation of odd ratios?

Hello,

I have large genomics database on two groups of patients (continuous variables). One group developed complication at some point of observation, this group has 4 repeated measures of gene eapression collected. Control group has only 3 time points collected. I would like to know if expression of some genes at baseline (week 0) predict outcomes: comlication (coded yes no) or death (coded 1 or 2). How do I prepare the data for analysis and what model do I choose? Do I need to compare LSmeans per subgroup? In this data I have genes on columns, patients IDs on rows.

Re: how to prepare data for calculation of odd ratios?

You can start with logistic regression. The data should consist of a cross-section of patients with complication and death columns (coded either as 1/0 or Y/N and modeling type set as nominal), a treatment/control group indicator (coded as 1/0), and columns for gene expression at baseline and other time points, as well as any other variables that you have available such as patient demographics.

You can then fit a nominal logistic regression on Complication (and Death) being a nominal outcome with these columns as model effects:Treatemnt/Control, Gene Expressions at different time points, and other variables. You might want to consider interactions such as Treatment/Comtrol*Gene Expression at Baseline, etc.

Re: how to prepare data for calculation of odd ratios?

I have 3 types of role variables, or treatment complications: 1. Early complications, 2. Late complications and 3. No complications. So, Logistic regression wouldn't probably work: I am getting "failed to converge (step-halving limit)" error. The treatment type is the same in both groups. Have anybody used a Partial Least squares for biomarkers prediction for disease outcome?

Hi,

If you have a large genomics database, I am assuming that you may have 10,000's of genes and thus 10,000's of columns.  If so, you may want to take a look at JMP Genomics:

 

https://www.jmp.com/en_us/software/jmp-genomics.html

 

Also, you can look at a similar use case by Matthew J Wongchenko, et.al. where they looked at different treatment groups and Progression Free Survival. Link to paper below.

If you have not used JMP Genomics before, then take a look at this short video:

Let me know if you would like to know more.

 

Best,

Our University does not have subscription for JMP Genomics, but thanks for the article.

In JMP you can conduct multi-level logistic regression

https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Logistic-regression-with-multiple-outcome-variables/td-p/49...

but I would start with a two-level with aggregated data (and would look what will happen):

1. Complications Yes ( Complications Early and Late)

2. Complications No
