  1. Mouse Livers:Derivatives and Functional Linear Models

  2. How does cholesterol get metabolized in the liver?

  3. What questions can we ask of the data? • What does the real, “smooth” process look like? • Do shapes differ among groups? • Do rates of change differ among groups?

  4. What do the flow curves look like as functional objects? • Took the derivative of the smoothed curves. • Still retain curve-to-curve variability, but now much smoother.

  5. How can I graphically explore the data? Phase-Plane Plots • Have: • flow curves x(t). • rate of change of flow curves Dx(t). • Plot Dx(t) vs x(t). No longer an explicit function of time! • Overlay time points on the curve for interpretation. • Gives information about how function is linked with its derivative.

  6. What do we see in these phase-plane plots? • Difference in curves between receptors and no receptors • Cusps or ‘change-points’ when there are receptors • Minute 9 for Receptor A; Minute 15 for Receptor B • Minute 9 for Both Receptors: Interactive Effect?

  7. What is the relationship between the covariates and response curves? • Functional response; Scalar predictors. • Regression coefficients are functional. • Use basis expansion methods. Functional Linear Models X(t) = β0(t) + β1(t)A + β2(t)B + β3(t)A*B + ε(t),

  8. Receptors affect steady state. • B stronger than A. • Effects strongest after minute 9. • A and B have inhibitory relationship after minute 9.

  9. Receptors affect steady state. • B stronger than A. • Effects strongest after minute 9. • A and B have inhibitory relationship after minute 9.

  10. Can also do a functional linear model for derivative (rate of change): FDA allows us to work with derivatives – which are closer to the mechanisms of the process dX/dt = β0(t) + β1(t)A + β2(t)B + β3(t)A*B + ε(t),

  11. A “kicks in” earlier than does B. • A kicks in at minute 9, B at minute 15. • When together, see push only at minute 9 (from A?)

  12. What have we learned? • Creating a functional object • Smoothing with basis expansions to reduce noise • Examining derivatives graphically • Phase-plane plots • Building functional linear models • Functional regression coefficients • Derivatives helpful here, too
