摘要:Recommender systems are the engine of online advertising. Not only do they suggest movies, music, or romantic partners, but they also are used to select which advertisements to show to users. This paper reviews the basics of recommender system methodology and then looks at the emerging arena of active recommender systems.

摘要:Most existing copula models for dependent censoring in the literature assume that the parameter defining the copula is known. However, prior knowledge on this dependence parameter is often unavailable. In this article we propose a novel model under which the copula parameter does not need to be known. The model is based on a parametric copula model for the relation between the survival time (T) and the censoring time (C), whereas the marginal distributions of T and C follow a semiparametric Co...

摘要:Data-driven individualized decision making has recently received increasing research interests. Most existing methods rely on the assumption of no unmeasured confounding, which unfortunately cannot be ensured in practice especially in observational studies. Motivated by the recent proposed proximal causal inference, we develop several proximal learning approaches to estimating optimal individualized treatment regimes (ITRs) in the presence of unmeasured confounding. In particular, we establish...

摘要:Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) are a popular class of regression models when the responses follow a distribution in the exponential family. In real data the variability often deviates from the relation imposed by the exponential family distribution, which results in over- or underdispersion. Dispersion effects may even vary in the data. Such datasets do not follow the traditional GLM distributional assumptions, leading to unreliable inference. Therefore, the family of double exponential dist...

摘要:Recent advances in mobile health (mHealth) technology provide an effective way to monitor individuals' health statuses and deliver just-in-time personalized interventions. However, the practical use of mHealth technology raises unique challenges to existing methodologies on learning an optimal dynamic treatment regime. Many mHealth applications involve decision-making with large numbers of intervention options and under an infinite time horizon setting where the number of decision stages diver...

摘要:The James-Stein estimator is an estimator of the multivariate normal mean and dominates likelihood estimator (MLE) under squared error loss. The original work inspired great interest in developing shrinkage estimators for a variety of problems. Nonetheless, research on shrinkage estimation for manifold- valued data is scarce. In this article, we propose shrinkage estimators for the parameters of the Log-Normal distribution defined on the manifold of N x N symmetric positive-definite matrices. ...

摘要:In multivariate functional data analysis, different functional covariates often exhibit homogeneity. The covariates with pronounced homogeneity can be analyzed jointly within the same group, offering a parsimonious approach to modeling multivariate functional data. In this article, a novel grouped multiple functional regression model with a new regularization approach termed coefficient shape alignment is developed to tackle functional covariates homogeneity. The modeling procedure includes tw...

摘要:Rapid advancements in collection and dissemination of multi-platform molecular and genomics data has resulted in enormous opportunities to aggregate such data in order to understand, prevent, and treat human diseases. While significant improvements have been made in multi-omic data integration methods to discover biological markers and mechanisms underlying both prognosis and treatment, the precise cellular functions governing these complex mechanisms still need detailed and data-driven de-nov...

摘要:Molecular sequence variation at a locus informs about the evolutionary history of the sample and past population size dynamics. The Kingman coalescent is used in a generative model of molecular sequence variation to infer evolutionary parameters. However, it is well understood that inference under this model does not scale well with sample size. Here, we build on recent work based on a lower resolution coalescent process, the Tajima coalescent, to model longitudinal samples. While the Kingman ...
