AbstractWe introduce a new computational method named EMeth to estimate cell type proportions using DNA methylation data. EMeth is a reference-based method that requires cell type-specific DNA methylation data from relevant cell types. EMeth improves on the existing reference-based methods by detecting the CpGs whose DNA methylation are inconsistent with the deconvolution model and reducing their contributions to cell type decomposition. Another novel feature of EMeth is that it allows a cell type with known proportions but unknown reference and estimates its methylation. This is motivated by the case of studying methylation in tumor cells while bulk tumor samples include tumor cells as well as other cell types such as infiltrating immune cells, and tumor cell proportion can be estimated by copy number data. We demonstrate that EMeth delivers more accurate estimates of cell type proportions than several other methods using simulated data and in silico mixtures. Applications in cancer studies show that the proportions of T regulatory cells estimated by DNA methylation have expected associations with mutation load and survival time, while the estimates from gene expression miss such associations.

Let [Formula: see text] be a ring. Motivated by a generalization of a well-known minus partial order to Rickart rings, we introduce a new relation on the power set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and show that this relation, which we call “the minus order on [Formula: see text]”, is a partial order when [Formula: see text] is a Baer ring. We similarly introduce and study properties of the star, the left-star, and the right-star partial orders on the power sets of Baer ∗-rings. We show that some ideals generated by projections of a von Neumann regular and Baer ∗-ring [Formula: see text] form a lattice with respect to the star partial order on [Formula: see text]. As a particular case, we present characterizations of these orders on the power set of [Formula: see text], the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space [Formula: see text].

Left Annihilator

Baer rings are rings in which the left (right) annihilator of each subset is generated by an idempotent [6]. Closely related to Baer rings are left P.P.-rings; these are rings in which each principal left ideal is projective, or equivalently, rings in which the left annihilator of each element is generated by an idempotent. Both Baer and P.P.-rings have been extensively studied (e.g. [2], [1], [3], [7]) and it is known that both of these properties are not stable relative to the formation of polynomial rings [5]. However we will show that if a ring R has no nonzero nilpotent elements then R[X] is a Baer or P.P.-ring if and only if R is a Baer or P.P.-ring. This generalizes a result of S. Jøndrup [5] who proved stability for commutative P.P.-rings via localizations – a technique which is, of course, not available to us. We also consider the converse to the well-known result that the center of a Baer ring is a Baer ring [6] and show that if R has no nonzero nilpotent elements, satisfies a polynomial identity and has a Baer ring as center, then R must be a Baer ring. We include examples to illustrate that all the hypotheses are needed.
