摘要:Prediction of time-to-event data often suffers from rare event rates, small sample sizes, high dimensionality, and low signal-to-noise ratios. Incorporating published prediction models from external large-scale studies is expected to improve the performance of prognosis prediction from internal individual-level data. However, existing integration approaches typically assume that the underlying distributions of the external and internal data sources are similar, which is often invalid. To accou...

摘要:This article discusses a sensitivity analysis for an instrumental variable (IV) estimate in the presence of many instruments that are weakly associated with the endogenous variable. We study the effect of imprisonment on earnings using data on individuals sentenced for felony in Michigan in the years 2003-2006. Motivated by the random assignment of judges to cases, we construct a vector of instruments based on judges' ID. Our data has two important features that cannot be handled using standar...

摘要:Social survey data are often collected from different survey centers in different regions. In some circumstances the response variables are completely observed while the covariates have missing values. In addition, the missing data patterns will vary in different geographical locations. In this article an ordinal response regression model with a log linear model for the cutpointsis extended to fit the spatial ordinal response data with missing covariates within a Bayesian framework. A signed-s...

摘要:Processing domain-specific Chinese texts is one of the most challenging tasks in natural language processing (NLP) due to the unique characteristics of Chinese and specific challenges in processing domain-specific texts. Existing NLP methods, based on supervised learning or large language models, often suffer from unstable performance in processing domain-specific Chinese texts. In this study we propose a novel statistical approach called TopWORDS-MEPA (Abbreviated as TWM) that can achieve hig...

摘要:The advent of next-generation sequencing-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) techniques has reshaped genomic studies by enabling high-throughput gene expression profiling while preserving spatial context. Nevertheless, inherent challenges associated with these new high-dimensional spatial data (e.g., zero inflation) pose obstacles to effective clustering, a fundamental problem in SRT data analysis. Current computational approaches often rely on heuristic data preprocessing and arbit...

摘要:In the eleventh and twelfth centuries in England, Wales and Normandy, royal acta were legal documents in which witnesses were listed in order of social status. Any bishops present were listed as a group. For our purposes each witness-list is an ordered permutation of bishop names with a known date or date-range. Changes over time in the order bishops are listed may reflect changes in their authority. Historians would like to detect and quantify these changes. There is no reason to assume that ...

摘要:A new methodological framework suitable for era-adjusting baseball statistics is developed in this article. Within this methodological framework specific models are motivated. We call these models Full House Models. Full House Models work by balancing the achievements of Major League Baseball (MLB) players within a given season and the size of the MLB talent pool from which a player came. We demonstrate the utility of Full House Models in an application of comparing baseball players' performan...

摘要:In clinical trials, covariate-adaptive randomization (CAR) procedures are used to balance important covariates for more convincing results and enhanced statistical efficiency. Although most CAR procedures focus on trials with 1:1 allocation ratio, the demand for unequal allocation is growing. Therefore, this paper proposes a CAR framework that unifies numerous existing procedures and can balance general (discrete, continuous, or their combinations) covariates under any allocation ratio. To eva...

摘要:The ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus image is an attractive 3D biomarker in AI-aided myopia screening because it provides much richer myopia-related information. Though axial length (AL) has been acknowledged to be highly related to the two key targets of myopia screening, spherical equivalence (SE) measurement and high myopia diagnosis, its prediction based on the UWF fundus image is rarely considered. To save the high expense and time costs of measuring SE and AL, we propose the Copula-enhanced ...

摘要:Runway overruns pose a significant challenge to aviation safety and represent the most common type of landing incident. Identifying the underlying factors contributing to runway overruns is vital for the development of effective prevention strategies. Since a few overruns are observed, the distance required for a pilot to achieve control of the aircraft, measured by the distance to decelerate to 80 knots, is used as a precursor. We propose vine copulabased distributional regression models for ...
