Propagation of uncertainty for signatures of mutational processes

University of St Andrews School of Mathematics and Statistics

Research Group: Division of Statistics

There is a trend, especially in cancer research, to i) take a set of DNA mutations ii) cross-categorize them by patient and mutational characteristic and iii) decompose the resulting counts matrix into two sets of vectors – one set representing the mutational impact of specific mutagens and one set representing the exposure of individuals to those mutagens.
