Teaching Of Biostatistics And Epidemiology In Medical Schools: How Do We Fare Compared With Developed Countries, Vijay Tiwari, Kuldeep Kumar, Sherin Raj
Kuldeep Kumar
Background Biostatistics is taught in almost all medical schools at the undergraduate and the postgraduate levels as a core course and is a prerequisite to epidemiology, public health and evidence-based medicine. However, it has to be taught in a different way in medical schools as compared with how it is taught to the students studying MSc (Biostatistics) or in the Statistics Department in universities. Objectives (1) To review the experience of teaching biostatistics in medical schools in India and compares the same with abroad (2) How best the curriculum can be designed as per the need of the medical students …
Promoting Similarity Of Model Sparsity Structures In Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genetic Data, Shuangge Ma
Promoting Similarity Of Model Sparsity Structures In Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genetic Data, Shuangge Ma
Shuangge Ma
In profiling studies, the analysis of a single dataset often leads to unsatisfactory results because of the small sample size. Multi-dataset analysis utilizes information across multiple independent datasets and outperforms single-dataset analysis. Among the available multi-dataset analysis methods, integrative analysis methods aggregate and analyze raw data and outperform meta-analysis methods, which analyze multiple datasets separately and then pool summary statistics. In this study, we conduct integrative analysis and marker selection under the heterogeneity structure, which allows different datasets to have overlapping but not necessarily identical sets of markers. Under certain scenarios, it is reasonable to expect some similarity of identified …

Bias In Estimating The Causal Hazard Ratio Using Two-Stage Instrumental Variable Methods, Fei Wan, Dylan S. Small, Justin E. Bekelman, Nandita Mitra
Bias In Estimating The Causal Hazard Ratio Using Two-Stage Instrumental Variable Methods, Fei Wan, Dylan S. Small, Justin E. Bekelman, Nandita Mitra

Two stage instrumental variable methods are commonly used to determine the causal effects of treatments on survival in the presence of measured and unmeasured confounding. Two stage residual inclusion (2SRI) has been the method of choice over two stage predictor substitution (2SPS) in clinical studies. We directly compare the bias in the causal hazard ratio estimated by these two methods. Under a principal stratification framework, we derive a closed form solution for asymptotic bias of the causal hazard ratio among compliers for both the 2SPS and 2SRI methods when survival time follows the Weibull distribution with random censoring. When there …
Integrative Analysis Of Prognosis Data On Multiple Cancer Subtypes, Shuangge Ma
Integrative Analysis Of Prognosis Data On Multiple Cancer Subtypes, Shuangge Ma
Shuangge Ma
In cancer research, profiling studies have been extensively conducted, searching for genes/SNPs associated with prognosis. Cancer is diverse. Examining similarity and difference in the genetic basis of multiple subtypes of the same cancer can lead to a better understanding of their connections and distinctions. Classic meta-analysis methods analyze each subtype separately and then compare analysis results across subtypes. Integrative analysis methods, in contrast, analyze the raw data on multiple subtypes simultaneously and can outperform meta-analysis methods. In this study, prognosis data on multiple subtypes of the same cancer are analyzed. An AFT (accelerated failure time) model is adopted to describe …
Why Match In Individually And Cluster Randomized Trials?, Laura Balzer, Maya Petersen, Mark Van Der Laan
Why Match In Individually And Cluster Randomized Trials?, Laura Balzer, Maya Petersen, Mark Van Der Laan
Laura B. Balzer
The decision to match individuals or clusters in randomized trials is motivated by both practical and statistical concerns. Matching protects against chance imbalances in baseline covariate distributions and is thereby thought to improve study credibility. Matching is also implemented to increase study power. Analogue to Rose and van der Laan (2009), this article investigates the asymptotic efficiency of pair-matching individuals or clusters relative to not matching in randomized trials. We focus on estimating the average treatment effect. We use the efficient influence curve to understand the information provided by each design for estimation of the target causal parameter. Our approach …

Most of the papers listed here concern categorical regression models and estimation, with particular emphasis on binary responses. The papers are classified by several characteristics which group them according to common themes. The bibliography serves as a reference of methods for analysts of correlated categorical data, as well as for persons interested in methodologic work in this active area of statistical research.
Diabetes Prediction In Pima Indians Using Ann And Statistical Techniques, Kuldeep Kumar, Ping Zhang
Diabetes Prediction In Pima Indians Using Ann And Statistical Techniques, Kuldeep Kumar, Ping Zhang
Kuldeep Kumar
Due to the fact that Pima Indian tribe has lived in the same location for an unmitigated number of years, a vast source of information of these people has been gained, which helps researchers for the study of diabetes and possible genetic factors of the disease. In this paper, we use Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and some statistical techniques for the prediction of diabetes. All the prediction models are evaluated with ROC curves.

As part of a community-based study of patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the Worcester, Massachusetts, metropolitan area, changes over time in the incidence rates of complete heart block (CHB) complicating AMI, and the prognostic impact of CHB on the in-hospital and long-term survival of these patients were examined. In all, 4,762 patients with validated AMI hospitalized at 16 hospitals in the Worcester metropolitan area during 1975, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1986 and 1988 constituted the study sample. The incidence rates of CHB complicating AMI remained relatively stable at 5.8% over the 13-year (1975 to 1988) period studied. The …
