Super Ensemble Learning Using the Highly-Adaptive-Lasso

Zeyi Wang, Wenxin Zhang, Brian S Caffo +2

We introduce the Meta Highly-Adaptive-Lasso Minimum Loss Estimator (M-HAL-MLE), a novel ensemble approach for estimating functional parameters of realistically modeled data distrib…

Automatic Detection of Alzheimer's Disease with Multi-Modal Fusion of Clinical MRI Scans

Long Chen, Liben Chen, Binfeng Xu +2

The aging population of the U.S. drives the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. Brookmeyer et al. forecasts approximately 15 million Americans will have either clinical AD or mild c…
