When to Impute? Imputation before and during cross-validation

Byron C. Jaeger, Nicholas J. Tierney, Noah R. Simon

Cross-validation (CV) is a technique used to estimate generalization error for prediction models. For pipeline modeling algorithms (i.e. modeling procedures with multiple steps), i…

Ensembled sparse-input hierarchical networks for high-dimensional datasets

Jean Feng, Noah Simon

Neural networks have seen limited use in prediction for high-dimensional data with small sample sizes, because they tend to overfit and require tuning many more hyperparameters tha…

Spatial Matrix Completion for Spatially-Misaligned and High-Dimensional Air Pollution Data

Phuong T. Vu, Adam A. Szpiro, Noah Simon

In health-pollution cohort studies, accurate predictions of pollutant concentrations at new locations are needed, since the locations of fixed monitoring sites and study participan…

A general framework for inference on algorithm-agnostic variable importance

Brian D. Williamson, Peter B. Gilbert, Noah R. Simon +1

In many applications, it is of interest to assess the relative contribution of features (or subsets of features) toward the goal of predicting a response -- in other words, to gaug…

A flexible Bayesian framework to estimate age- and cause-specific child mortality over time from sample registration data

Austin E Schumacher, Tyler H McCormick, Jon Wakefield +5

In order to implement disease-specific interventions in young age groups, policy makers in low- and middle-income countries require timely and accurate estimates of age- and cause-…

BigSurvSGD: Big Survival Data Analysis via Stochastic Gradient Descent

Aliasghar Tarkhan, Noah Simon

In many biomedical applications, outcome is measured as a ``time-to-event'' (eg. disease progression or death). To assess the connection between features of a patient and this outc…
