Background: to evaluate the intermediate-term health outcomes associated with a soy-Based meal replacement, and to compare the weight loss efficacy of two distinct patterns of caloric restriction. Methods: Ninety overweight/obese (28 < BMI ≤ 41 kg/m2) adults received a single session of dietary counseling and were randomized to either 12 weeks at 1200 kcal/day, 16 weeks at 1500 kcal/d and 12 weeks at 1800 kcal/d (i.e., the 12/15/18 diet group), or 28 weeks at 1500 kcal/d and 12 weeks at 1800 kcal/d (i.e., the 15/18 diet group). Weight, body fat, waist circumference, blood pressure and serum lipid concentrations were measured at 4-week intervals throughout the 40-week trial. Results: Subjects in both treatments showed statistically significant improvements in outcomes. a regression model for weight change suggests that subjects with larger baseline weights tended to lose more weight and subjects in the 12/15/18 group tended to experience, on average, an additional 0.9 kg of weight loss compared with subjects in the 15/18 group. Conclusion: Both treatments using the soy-Based meal replacement program were associated with significant and comparable weight loss and improvements on selected health variables.
Exact Multiplicity For Periodic Solutions Of Duffing Type, Hongbin Chen, Yi Li, Xiaojie Hou
Exact Multiplicity For Periodic Solutions Of Duffing Type, Hongbin Chen, Yi Li, Xiaojie Hou
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we study the following Duffing-type equation:
x″+cx′+g(t,x)=h(t),
where g(t,x) is a 2π-periodic continuous function in t and concave–convex in x, and h(t) is a small continuous 2π-periodic function. The exact multiplicity and stability of periodic solutions are obtained.
Randomization Tests For Small Samples: An Application For Genetic Expression Data, Gary L. Gadbury, Grier P. Page, Moonseong Heo, John D. Mountz, David B. Allison

An advantage of randomization tests for small samples is that an exact P-value can be computed under an additive model. a disadvantage with very small sample sizes is that the resulting discrete distribution for P-values can make it mathematically impossible for a P-value to attain a particular degree of significance. We investigate a distribution of P-values that arises when several thousand randomization tests are conducted simultaneously using small samples, a situation that arises with microarray gene expression data. We show that the distribution yields valuable information regarding groups of genes that are differentially expressed between two groups: A treatment group …
Modern Statistical Methods For Handling Missing Repeated Measurements In Obesity Trial Data: Beyond Locf, Gary L. Gadbury, C. S. Coffey, D. B. Allison
Modern Statistical Methods For Handling Missing Repeated Measurements In Obesity Trial Data: Beyond Locf, Gary L. Gadbury, C. S. Coffey, D. B. Allison
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper brings together some modern statistical methods to address the problem of missing data in obesity trials with repeated measurements. Such missing data occur when subjects miss one or more follow-up visits or drop out early from an obesity trial. a common approach to dealing with missing data because of dropout is 'last observation carried forward' (LOCF). This method, although intuitively appealing, requires restrictive assumptions to produce valid statistical conclusions. We review the need for obesity trials, the assumptions that must be made regarding missing data in such trials, and some modern statistical methods for analyzing data containing missing …

On Adaptive Estimation In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Weizhen Wang, Daniel T. Voss
On Adaptive Estimation In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Weizhen Wang, Daniel T. Voss
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
A simple method is provided to construct a general class of individual and simultaneous confidence intervals for the effects in orthogonal saturated designs. These intervals use the data adaptively, maintain the confidence levels sharply at 1 - α at the least favorable parameter configuration, work effectively under effect sparsity, and include the intervals by Wang and Voss (2001) as a special case.
The Global Dynamics Of Isothermal Chemical Systems With Critical Nonlinearity, Yi Li, Yuanwei Qi
The Global Dynamics Of Isothermal Chemical Systems With Critical Nonlinearity, Yi Li, Yuanwei Qi
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of a cubic autocatalytic chemical reaction system u1,t = u1,xx − uα1 uβ2, u2,t = du2,xx+ uα1 uβ2 with non-negative initial data, where the exponents α,β satisfy 1<α,βd>0 is the Lewis number. Our purpose is to study the global dynamics of solutions under mild decay of initial data as |x|→∞. We show the exact large time behaviour of solutions which is universal.

Cause-Effect Relationships In Analytical Surveys: An Illustration Of Statistical Issues, Gary L. Gadbury, Hans T. Schreuder
Cause-Effect Relationships In Analytical Surveys: An Illustration Of Statistical Issues, Gary L. Gadbury, Hans T. Schreuder
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Establishing cause-effect is critical in the field of natural resources where one may want to know the impact of management practices, wildfires, drought, etc. on water quality and quantity, wildlife, growth and survival of desirable trees for timber production, etc. Yet, key obstacles exist when trying to establish cause-effect in such contexts. Issues involved with identifying a causal hypothesis, and conditions needed to estimate a causal effect or to establish cause-effect are considered. Ideally one conducts an experiment and follows with a survey, or vice versa. in an experiment, the population of inference may be quite limited and in surveys, …
An Oscillation Theorem For Discrete Eigenvalue Problems, Martin Bohner, Ondřej Došlý, Werner Kratz
An Oscillation Theorem For Discrete Eigenvalue Problems, Martin Bohner, Ondřej Došlý, Werner Kratz
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper we consider problems that consist of symplectic difference systems depending on an eigenvalue parameter, together with self-adjoint boundary conditions. Such symplectic difference systems contain as important cases linear Hamiltonian difference systems and also Sturm-Liouville difference equations of second and of higher order. The main result of this paper is an oscillation theorem that relates the number of eigenvalues to the number of generalized zeros of solutions.
Perturbation Of Global Solution Curves For Semilinear Problems, Philip Korman, Yi Li, Tiancheng Ouyang
Perturbation Of Global Solution Curves For Semilinear Problems, Philip Korman, Yi Li, Tiancheng Ouyang
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We revisit the question of exact multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of Dirichlet problems for cubic-like nonlinearities, which we studied in 161. Instead of computing the direction of bifurcation as we did in [6], we use an indirect approach, and study the evolution of turning points. We give conditions under which the critical (turning) points continue on smooth curves, which allows us to reduce the problem to the easier case of f (0) = 0. We show that the smallest root of f (u) does not have to be restricted.

An Algebraic Characterization Of Projective-Planar Graphs, Lowell Abrams, Dan Slilaty
An Algebraic Characterization Of Projective-Planar Graphs, Lowell Abrams, Dan Slilaty
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
We give a detailed algebraic characterization of when a graph G can be imbedded in the projective plane. The characterization is in terms of the existence of a dual graph G∗ on the same edge set as G which satisfies algebraic conditions inspired by homology groups and intersection products in homology groups.
