Wavelet thresholding estimation in a poissonian interactions model with application to genomic data

Laure Sansonnet

Résumé

This paper deals with the study of dependencies between two given events modelled by point processes. In particular, we focus on the context of DNA to detect favoured or avoided distances between two given motifs along a genome suggesting possible interactions at a molecular level. For this, we naturally introduce a so-called reproduction function h that allows to quantify the favoured positions of the motifs and that is considered as the intensity of a Poisson process. Our first interest is the estimation of this function h assumed to be well localized. The estimator hQ based on random thresholds achieves an oracle inequality. Then, minimax properties of hQ on Besov balls Bs 2;1.R/ are established. Some simulations are provided, proving the good practical behaviour of our procedure. Finally, our method is applied to the analysis of the dependence between promoter sites and genes along the genome of the Escherichia coli bacterium.
