"The Consolidated Assistance Program, Reforming Welfare by Synchronizing Public Assistance Benefits"
No full textLevin-Waldman examines the structure of existing welfare programs and concludes that the current array of benefits could be synchronized and consolidated to create a new system that would provide economic incentives to work. He suggests combining elements of the earned income tax credit (EITC) and current welfare programs into one program, a consolidated assistance program (CAP). Levin-Waldman argues that a program composed of an assistance component (with one set of benefits for working parents and a different set for nonworking parents) and a child support component could be designed to assure minimal subsistence to those unable to work while providing incentives for those on welfare to work without, in effect, penalizing them for getting off welfare. Such a program would reform welfare more expeditiously than a plan that would simply expand the EITC or put a time limit on welfare benefits. Moreover, such a plan would not necessarily add to the national budget deficit.

However, currently available methods fail to account for variation in the distance between genes, gene density, and genomic features (e.g. GC content) in identifying increased or decreased chromosomal regions of gene expression. Results: We have developed a model-based scan statistic that accounts for these aspects of the complex landscape of the human genome in the identification of extreme chromosomal regions of gene expression. This method may be applied to gene expression data regardless of the microarray platform used to generate it. To demonstrate the accuracy and utility of this method, we applied it to a breast cancer gene expression dataset and tested its ability to predict regions containing medium to high level DNA amplification (DNA ratio values> 2). A classifier was developed from the scan statistic results that had a ten-fold cross-validated classification rate of 93 % and a positive predictive value of 88%. This result strongly suggests that the model-based scan statistic and the expression characteristics of an increased chromosomal region of gene expression can be used to accurately predict chromosomal regions containing amplified genes.
