BioNeuralNet: A Graph Neural Network based Multi-Omics Network Data Analysis Tool

Vicente Ramos, Sundous Hussein, Mohamed Abdel-Hafiz +6

Multi-omics data offer unprecedented insights into complex biological systems, yet their high dimensionality, sparsity, and intricate interactions pose significant analytical chall…

Excess risk of heat-related hospitalization associated with temperature and PM2.5 among older adults

Lauren Mock, Rachel C. Nethery, Poonam Gandhi +5

Background: With rising temperatures and an aging population, understanding how to prevent heat-related illness among older adults will be increasingly crucial. Despite biological…

Residual-based Alternative Partial Least Squares for Generalized Functional Linear Models

Yue Wang, Xiao Wang, Joseph G. Ibrahim +1

Many biomedical studies collect high-dimensional medical imaging data to identify biomarkers for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. Consequently, it is cruc…

GeoDEN: A Visual Exploration Tool for Analysing the Geographic Spread of Dengue Serotypes

Aidan Marler, Yannik Roell, Steffen Knoblauch +3

Static maps and animations remain popular in spatial epidemiology of dengue, limiting the analytical depth and scope of visualisations. Over half of the global population live in d…

Walking fingerprinting

Lily Koffman, Ciprian Crainiceanu, Andrew Leroux

We consider the problem of predicting an individual's identity from accelerometry data collected during walking. In a previous paper we introduced an approach that transforms the a…

Fast, effective, and coherent time series modeling using the sparsity-ranked lasso

Ryan Peterson, Joseph Cavanaugh

The sparsity-ranked lasso (SRL) has been developed for model selection and estimation in the presence of interactions and polynomials. The main tenet of the SRL is that an algorith…

Ranked Sparsity: A Cogent Regularization Framework for Selecting and Estimating Feature Interactions and Polynomials

Ryan A. Peterson, Joseph E. Cavanaugh

We explore and illustrate the concept of ranked sparsity, a phenomenon that often occurs naturally in modeling applications when an expected disparity exists in the quality of info…

Measurement Error in Meta-Analysis (MEMA) -- a Bayesian framework for continuous outcome data

Harlan Campbell, Valentijn M. T. de Jong, Lauren Maxwell +3

Ideally, a meta-analysis will summarize data from several unbiased studies. Here we consider the less than ideal situation in which contributing studies may be compromised by measu…

A Calibration Approach to Transportability and Data-Fusion with Observational Data

Kevin P. Josey, Fan Yang, Debashis Ghosh +1

Two important considerations in clinical research studies are proper evaluations of internal and external validity. While randomized clinical trials can overcome several threats to…

Transporting Experimental Results with Entropy Balancing

Kevin P. Josey, Seth A. Berkowitz, Debashis Ghosh +1

We show how entropy balancing can be used for transporting experimental treatment effects from a trial population onto a target population. This method is doubly-robust in the sens…

Analysis of regression discontinuity designs using censored data

Youngjoo Cho, Chen Hu, Debashis Ghosh

In medical settings, treatment assignment may be determined by a clinically important covariate that predicts patients' risk of event. There is a class of methods from the social s…

A Framework for Covariate Balance using Bregman Distances

Kevin P. Josey, Elizabeth Juarez-Colunga, Fan Yang +1

A common goal in observational research is to estimate marginal causal effects in the presence of confounding variables. One solution to this problem is to use the covariate distri…

Predictive Directions for Individualized Treatment Selection in Clinical Trials

Debashis Ghosh, Youngjoo Cho

In many clinical trials, individuals in different subgroups have experience differential treatment effects. This leads to individualized differences in treatment benefit. In this a…

Revisiting Graph Construction for Fast Image Segmentation

Zizhao Zhang, Fuyong Xing, Hanzi Wang +4

In this paper, we propose a simple but effective method for fast image segmentation. We re-examine the locality-preserving character of spectral clustering by constructing a graph…

Reducing decision errors in the paired comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of screening tests with Gaussian outcomes

Brandy M. Ringham, Todd A. Alonzo, John T. Brinton +4

Scientists often use a paired comparison of the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves to decide which continuous cancer screening test has the best diagnostic ac…

A General formulation for standardization of rates as a method to control confounding by measured and unmeasured disease risk factors

Steven D. Mark

Standardization, a common approach for controlling confounding in population-studies or data from disease registries, is defined to be a weighted average of stratum specific rates.…
