摘要:Volumetric imaging features are used in cancer research to determine the size and the composition of a tumor and have been shown to be prog-nostic of overall survival. In this paper we focus on the analysis of tumor component proportions of brain cancer patients collected through The Can-cer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. Our main goal is to identify pathways and corresponding genes that can explain the heterogeneity of the composition of a brain tumor. In particular, we focus on the glioblastom...

摘要:Multimodel ensemble analysis integrates information from multiple climate models into a unified projection. However, existing integration approaches, based on model averaging, can dilute fine-scale spatial information and incur bias from rescaling low-resolution climate models. We propose a statistical approach, called NN-GPR, using Gaussian process regression (GPR) with an infinitely wide deep neural network based covariance function. NN-GPR requires no assumptions about the relationships bet...

摘要:While vaccines are crucial to end the COVID-19 pandemic, public confidence in vaccine safety has always been vulnerable. Many statistical methtem) database to study the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. However, none of these methods considered the adverse event (AE) ontology. AEs are naturally related; for example, events of retching, dysphagia, and reflux are all related to an abnormal digestive system. Explicitly bringing AE relationships into the model can aid in the detection of true AE signal...

摘要:The majority of Americans fail to achieve recommended levels of physical activity, which leads to numerous preventable health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases. This has generated substantial interest in monitoring human activity to gear interventions toward environmental features that may relate to higher physical activity. Wearable devices, such as wrist-worn sensors that monitor gross motor activity (actigraph units) continuously record the activity levels of a su...

摘要:Numerous adverse effects (e.g., depression) have been reported for combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) despite its remarkable success in viral suppression in people with HIV (PWH). To improve long-term health outcomes for PWH, there is an urgent need to design personalized optimal cART with the lowest risk of comorbidity in the emerging field of precision medicine for HIV. Large-scale HIV studies offer researchers unprecedented opportunities to optimize personalized cART in a data-driven...

摘要:Random sampling of graph partitions under constraints has become a popular tool for evaluating legislative redistricting plans. Analysts detect partisan gerrymandering by comparing a proposed redistricting plan with an ensemble of sampled alternative plans. For successful application sampling methods must scale to maps with a moderate or large number of districts, incorporate realistic legal constraints, and accurately and efficiently sample from a selected target distribution. Unfortunately, ...

摘要:The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) system has be -come a rich resource for understanding the complex mechanisms of graft failure after kidney transplant, a crucial step for allocating organs effectively and implementing appropriate care. As transplant centers that treated patients might strongly confound graft failures, Cox models stratified by centers can eliminate their confounding effects. Also, since recipient age is a proven non-modifiable risk factor, a common practi...

摘要:The two-sided markets, such as ride-sharing companies, often involve a group of subjects who are making sequential decisions across time and/or location. With the rapid development of smart phones and internet of things, they have substantially transformed the transportation landscape of human beings. In this paper we consider large-scale fleet management in ride-sharing companies that involve multiple units in different areas receiving sequences of products (or treatments) over time. Major te...

摘要:Differential coexpression analysis has been widely applied by scientists in understanding the biological mechanisms of diseases. However, the unknown differential patterns are often complicated; thus, models based on simplified parametric assumptions can be ineffective in identifying the differences. Meanwhile, the gene expression data involved in such analysis are in extremely high dimensions by nature, whose correlation matrices may not even be computable. Such a large scale seriously limits...

摘要:A key task in the emerging field of materials informatics is to use ma-chine learning to predict a material's properties and functions. A fast and accurate predictive model allows researchers to more efficiently identify or construct a material with desirable properties. As in many fields, deep learn-ing is one of the state-of-the art approaches, but fully training a deep learn-ing model is not always feasible in materials informatics due to limitations on data availability, computational reso...
