BiMM tree: A decision tree method for modeling clustered and longitudinal binary outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Clustered binary outcomes are frequently encountered in clinical research (e.g. longitudinal studies). Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for clustered endpoints have challenges for some scenarios (e.g. data with multi-way interactions and nonlinear predictors unknown a priori). We develop an alternative, data-driven method called Binary Mixed Model (BiMM) tree, which combines decision tree and GLMM within a unified framework. Simulation studies show that BiMM tree achieves slightly higher or similar accuracy compared to standard methods. The method is applied to a real dataset from the Acute Liver Failure Study Group.

Clustered binary outcomes are frequently encountered in clinical research (e.g. longitudinal studies). Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for clustered endpoints have challenges for some scenarios (e.g. data with multi-way interactions and nonlinear predictors unknown <i>a priori</i>). We develop an alternative, data-driven method called Binary Mixed Model (BiMM) tree, which combines decision tree and GLMM within a unified framework. Simulation studies show that BiMM tree achieves slightly ...[more]

Project description:Computational models of cell signaling networks typically are aimed at capturing dynamics of molecular components to derive quantitative insights from prior experimental data, and to make predictions concerning altered dynamics under different conditions. However, signaling network models have rarely been used to predict how cell phenotypic behaviors result from the integrated operation of these networks. We recently developed a decision tree model for how EGF-induced fibroblast cell motility across two-dimensional fibronectin-coated surfaces depends on the integrated activation status of five key signaling nodes, including a proximal regulator of transcellular contractile force generation, MLC (myosin light chain) [Hautaniemi et al, Bioinformatics 21: 2027 {2005}], but we have not previously attempted predictions of new experimental effects from this model.In this new work, we construct an improved decision tree model for the combined influence of EGF and fibronectin on fibroblast cell migration based on a wider spectrum of experimental protein signaling and cell motility measurements, and directly test a significant and non-intuitive a priori prediction for the outcome of a targeted molecular intervention into the signaling network: that partially reducing activation of MLC would increase cell motility on moderately adhesive surfaces. This prediction was indeed confirmed experimentally: partial inhibition of the activating MLC kinase (MLCK) upstream using the pharmacologic agent ML-7 resulted in increased motility of NR6 fibroblasts. We further extended this exciting finding by showing that partial reduction of MLC activation similarly enhanced the transmigration of the human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-213 through a Matrigel barrier.These findings specifically highlight a central regulatory role for transcellular contractility in governing cell motility, while at the same time demonstrating the value of a decision tree approach to a systems "signal-response" model in discerning non-intuitive behavior arising from integrated operation a cell signaling network.
