摘要:The two-phase design is a cost-effective sampling strategy to evaluate the effects of covariates on an outcome when certain covariates are too expensive to be measured on all study subjects. Under such a design, the outcome and inexpensive covariates are measured on all subjects in the first phase and the first-phase information is used to select subjects for measurements of expensive covariates in the second phase. Previous research on two-phase studies has focused largely on the inference pr...

摘要:The time-varying power spectrum of a time series process is a bivariate function that quantifies the magnitude of oscillations at different frequencies and times. To obtain low-dimensional, parsimonious measures from this functional parameter, applied researchers consider collapsed measures of power within local bands that partition the frequency space. Frequency bands commonly used in the scientific literature were historically derived, but they are not guaranteed to be optimal or justified f...

摘要:Kidney obstruction, if untreated in a timely manner, can lead to irreversible loss of renal function. A widely used technology for evaluations of kidneys with suspected obstruction is diuresis renography. However, it is generally very challenging for radiologists who typically interpret renography data in practice to build high level of competency due to the low volume of renography studies and insufficient training. Another challenge is that there is currently no gold standard for detection o...

摘要:We introduce a novel approach for high-dimensional regression with theoretical guarantees. The new procedure overcomes the challenge of tuning parameter selection of Lasso and possesses several appealing properties. It uses an easily simulated tuning parameter that automatically adapts to both the unknown random error distribution and the correlation structure of the design matrix. It is robust with substantial efficiency gain for heavy-tailed random errors while maintaining high efficiency fo...

摘要:A region under rainfall is a contiguous spatial area receiving positive precipitation at a particular time. The probabilistic behavior of such a region is an issue of interest in meteorological studies. A region under rainfall can be viewed as a shape object of a special kind, where scale and rotational invariance are not necessarily desirable attributes of a mathematical representation. For modeling variation in objects of this type, we propose an approximation of the boundary that can be rep...

摘要:The article considers the problem of estimating a high-dimensional sparse parameter in the presence of side information that encodes the sparsity structure. We develop a general framework that involves first using an auxiliary sequence to capture the side information, and then incorporating the auxiliary sequence in inference to reduce the estimation risk. The proposed method, which carries out adaptive Stein's unbiased risk estimate-thresholding using side information (ASUS), is shown to have...

摘要:This article introduces a machine for sampling approximate model-X knockoffs for arbitrary and unspecified data distributions using deep generative models. The main idea is to iteratively refine a knockoff sampling mechanism until a criterion measuring the validity of the produced knockoffs is optimized; this criterion is inspired by the popular maximum mean discrepancy in machine learning and can be thought of as measuring the distance to pairwise exchangeability between original and knockoff...

摘要:Many scientific and engineering challenges-ranging from pharmacokinetic drug dosage allocation and personalized medicine to marketing mix (4Ps) recommendations-require an understanding of the unobserved heterogeneity to develop the best decision making-processes. In this article, we develop a hypothesis test and the corresponding p-value for testing for the significance of the homogeneous structure in linear mixed models. A robust matching moment construction is used for creating a test that a...
