Biyi Shen, Haoyu Ren, Michelle Shardell +2
Nearly 300,000 older adults experience a hip fracture every year, the majority of which occur following a fall. Unfortunately, recovery after fall-related trauma such as hip fractu…
Neural signal propagation atlas of C. elegans
Francesco Randi, Anuj K. Sharma, Sophie Dvali +1
A fundamental problem in neuroscience is understanding how a network's properties dictate its function. Connectomics provides one avenue to predict nervous system function. To test…
A pilot study of the Earable device to measure facial muscle and eye movement tasks among healthy volunteers
Matthew F. Wipperman, Galen Pogoncheff, Katrina F. Mateo +9
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptom…
A Stopped Negative Binomial Distribution
Michelle DeVeaux, Michael J. Kane, Daniel Zelterman
This paper introduces a new discrete distribution suggested by curtailed sampling rules common in early-stage clinical trials. We derive the distribution of the smallest number of…
Overlapping Probabilities of Top Ranking Gene Lists, Hypergeometric Distribution, and Stringency of Gene Selection Criterion
Wen Fury, Franak Batliwalla, Peter K. Gregersen +1
When the same set of genes appear in two top ranking gene lists in two different studies, it is often of interest to estimate the probability for this being a chance event. This ov…
