A SPARSE REDUCED RANK FRAMEWORK FOR GROUP ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL NEUROIMAGING DATA.

Statistica Sinica

Ahn M, Shen H, Lin W, Zhu H.
PMID: 26405427
Stat Sin. 2015 Jan;25(1):295-312. doi: 10.5705/ss.2013.215w.

In spatial-temporal neuroimaging studies, there is an evolving literature on the analysis of functional imaging data in order to learn the intrinsic functional connectivity patterns among different brain regions. However, there are only few efficient approaches for integrating functional...

Bayesian Analysis of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Dynamics with Application to Irregularly Spaced Sparse Data.

The annals of applied statistics

Lu ZH, Chow SM, Sherwood A, Zhu H.
PMID: 26941885
Ann Appl Stat. 2015 Sep;9(3):1601-1620. doi: 10.1214/15-aoas846.

Ambulatory cardiovascular (CV) measurements provide valuable insights into individuals' health conditions in "real-life," everyday settings. Current methods of modeling ambulatory CV data do not consider the dynamic characteristics of the full data set and their relationships with covariates such...

BFLCRM: A BAYESIAN FUNCTIONAL LINEAR COX REGRESSION MODEL FOR PREDICTING TIME TO CONVERSION TO ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.

The annals of applied statistics

Lee E, Zhu H, Kong D, Wang Y, Giovanello KS, Ibrahim JG.
PMID: 26900412
Ann Appl Stat. 2015 Dec;9(4):2153-2178. doi: 10.1214/15-AOAS879.

The aim of this paper is to develop a Bayesian functional linear Cox regression model (BFLCRM) with both functional and scalar covariates. This new development is motivated by establishing the likelihood of conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in 346...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The authors are grateful to the men and women who participated in our Focus Groups and shared with us their very personal cancer experience. Their insight is valuable, and will inform and improve cancer care for future generations....

A survey of practices for the use of electronic health records to support research recruitment.

Journal of clinical and translational science

Obeid JS, Beskow LM, Rape M, Gouripeddi R, Black RA, Cimino JJ, Embi PJ, Weng C, Marnocha R, Buse JB.
PMID: 29657859
J Clin Transl Sci. 2017 Aug;1(4):246-252. doi: 10.1017/cts.2017.301.

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide great promise for identifying cohorts and enhancing research recruitment. Such approaches are sorely needed, but there are few descriptions in the literature of prevailing practices to guide their use. A multidisciplinary workgroup was formed...

"I am not young enough to know everything."Oscar Wilde.BACKGROUND: There is insufficient knowledge among providers and patients/caregivers of ionizing radiation exposure from medical imaging examinations. This study used a brief, interactive educational intervention targeting the topics of best imaging...

Comparison of alternative approaches to trim subjects in the tails of the propensity score distribution.

Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety

Glynn RJ, Lunt M, Rothman KJ, Poole C, Schneeweiss S, Stürmer T.
PMID: 31385394
Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf. 2019 Oct;28(10):1290-1298. doi: 10.1002/pds.4846. Epub 2019 Aug 05.

PURPOSE: In nonexperimental comparative effectiveness research, restricting analysis to subjects with better overlap of covariate distributions, hence greater treatment equipoise, helps balance the groups compared and can improve validity. Three alternative approaches, derived from different perspectives, implement restriction by...

Measuring quality and outcomes of research collaborations: An integrative review.

Journal of clinical and translational science

Tigges BB, Miller D, Dudding KM, Balls-Berry JE, Borawski EA, Dave G, Hafer NS, Kimminau KS, Kost RG, Littlefield K, Shannon J, Menon U.
