Methods Of Competing Risks Analysis Of End-Stage Renal Disease And Mortality Among People With Diabetes, Hyun J. Lim, Xu Zhang, Roland Dyck, Nathaniel Osgood 2010 University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine

Methods Of Competing Risks Analysis Of End-Stage Renal Disease And Mortality Among People With Diabetes, Hyun J. Lim, Xu Zhang, Roland Dyck, Nathaniel Osgood

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Background: When a patient experiences an event other than the one of interest in the study, usually the probability of experiencing the event of interest is altered. By contrast, disease-free survival time analysis by standard methods, such as the Kaplan-Meier method and the standard Cox model, does not distinguish different causes in the presence of competing risks. Alternative approaches use the cumulative incidence estimator by the Cox models on cause-specific and on subdistribution hazards models. We applied cause-specific and subdistribution hazards models to a diabetes dataset with two competing risks (end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death without ESRD) to measure …

Sulfur K-Edge Photo-Fragmentation Of Ethylene Sulfide, Wayne C. Stolte, Gunnar Ohrwall 2010 University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Sulfur K-Edge Photo-Fragmentation Of Ethylene Sulfide, Wayne C. Stolte, Gunnar Ohrwall

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications

We have investigated the photofragmentation properties of the three-membered ring heterocyclic molecule ethylene sulfide or thiirane, C2H4S, by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Positive ions have been collected as a function of photon energy around the S K ionization threshold. Branching ratios were derived for all detected ions, which are informative of the decay dynamics and photofragmentation patterns of the core-excited species. We present a new assignment of the spectral features around the S K-edge.

An Integrated Collection Of Tools For Continuously Improving The Processes By Which Health Care Is Delivered: A Tool Report, Lj Osterweil, La Clarke, Gs Avrunin

Leon Osterweil

With the availability of powerful computational and commu- nication systems, scientists now readily access large, complicated derived datasets and build on those results to produce, through further processing, yet other derived datasets of interest. The scientific processes used to create such datasets must be clearly documented so that scientists can evaluate their soundness, reproduce the results, and build upon them in responsible and appropriate ways. Here, we present the concept of an analytic web, which defines the scientific processes employed and details the exact appli- cation of those processes in creating derived datasets. The work described here is similar to …


High-Performance Semi-Supervised Learning Using Discriminatively Constrained Generative Models, Gregory Druck, Andrew McCallum 2010 University of Massachusetts - Amherst

High-Performance Semi-Supervised Learning Using Discriminatively Constrained Generative Models, Gregory Druck, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We develop a semi-supervised learning algorithm that encourages generative models to discover latent structure that is relevant to a prediction task. The method constrains the posterior distribution of latent variables under a generative model to satisfy a rich set of feature expectation constraints from labeled data. We focus on the application of this method to sequence labeling and estimate parameters with a modified EM algorithm. The E-step involves estimating the parameters of a log-linear model with an HMM as the base distribution. This HMM-CRF can be used for test time prediction. The approach is related to other semi-supervised methods, but …


Collective Cross-Document Relation Extraction Without Labelled Data, Limin Yao, Sebastian Riedel, Andrew McCallum 2010 University of Massachusetts - Amherst

Collective Cross-Document Relation Extraction Without Labelled Data, Limin Yao, Sebastian Riedel, Andrew Mccallum

Andrew McCallum

We present a novel approach to relation extraction that integrates information across documents, performs global inference and requires no labelled text. In particular, we tackle relation extraction and entity identification jointly. We use distant supervision to train a factor graph model for relation extraction based on an existing knowledge base (Freebase, derived in parts from Wikipedia). For inference we run an efficient Gibbs sampler that leads to linear time joint inference. We evaluate our approach both for an in-domain (Wikipedia) and a more realistic out-of-domain (New York Times Corpus) setting. For the in-domain setting, our joint model leads to 4% …

Thermohaline Circulation, Rob Snyder

IPY STEM Polar Connections

Surface currents, such as the Gulf Stream, are pushed by the wind. Deep ocean currents, called the “Thermohaline Circulation”, are the result of changes in the density of water. In this activity you can investigate how differences in the temperature and salinity of water can produce deep ocean currents
