Data Workflow In Large Scale Simulations Of Blood Flow In Aneurysms, Paolo Di Achille, Jay D. Humphrey

Yale Day of Data

Aneurysms are responsibile for significant morbidity and mortality, and there is a need for an increased understanding of all the aspects of the natural history of these lesions. We are currently working to extend our analyses with the goal of creating models of aneurysmal progression that are able to predict rupture risk through the description of the evolving geometry, structure, properties, and loads.

Realization of patient specific models of the blood circulation necessitates a complex computationally and data intensive procedure that starts from the collection of medical images in a clinical setting and encompasses several stages of data processing on …

Selling Cookies, Dirk Bergemann, Alessandro Bonatti

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We propose a model of data provision and data pricing. A single data provider controls a large database that contains information about the match value between individual consumers and individual firms (advertisers). Advertisers seek to tailor their spending to the individual match value. The data provider prices queries about individual consumers’ characteristics (cookies). We determine the equilibrium data acquisition and pricing policies. Advertisers choose positive and/or negative targeting policies. The optimal query price influences the composition of the targeted set. The price of data decreases with the reach of the database and increases with the fragmentation of data sales.

Selling Cookies, Dirk Bergemann, Alessandro Bonatti

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We develop a model of data pricing and targeted advertising. A monopolistic data provider determines the price to access “cookies,” i.e., informative signals about individual consumers’ preferences. The demand for information is generated by advertisers who seek to tailor their spending to the value of each consumer. We characterize the set of consumers targeted by the advertisers and the optimal monopoly price of cookies. The ability to influence the composition of the set of targeted consumers provides incentives to lower prices. Thus, the monopoly price of data is decreasing in the reach of the database and increasing in the number …

Model Selection In The Presence Of Incidental Parameters, Yoonseok Lee, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper considers model selection in nonlinear panel data models where incidental parameters or large-dimensional nuisance parameters are present. Primary interest typically centres on selecting a model that best approximates the underlying structure involving parameters that are common within the panel after concentrating out the incidental parameters. It is well known that conventional model selection procedures are often inconsistent in panel models and this can be so even without nuisance parameters (Han et al., 2012). Modifications are then needed to achieve consistency. New model selection information criteria are developed here that use either the Kullback-Leibler information criterion based on the …

We characterize the optimal policy for selling information and its implementation through nonlinear pricing of cookies.

Equality Of Opportunity, John E. Roemer, Alain Trannoy

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This forthcoming chapter in the Handbook of Income Distribution (eds., A. Atkinson and F. Bourguignon) summarizes the literature on equality of opportunity. We begin by reviewing the philosophical debate concerning equality since Rawls (sections 1 and 2), present economic algorithms for computing policies which equalize opportunities, or, more generally, ways of ordering social policies with respect to their efficacy in opportunity equalization (sections 3, 4 and 5), apply the approach to the conceptualization of economic development (section 6), discuss dynamic issues (section 7), give a preamble to a discussion of empirical work (section 8), provide evidence of population views from …

Barefoot And Footloose Doctors: Optimal Resource Allocation In Developing Countries With Medical Migration, John E. Roemer, Pedro Rosa Dias

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In light of the shortage of healthcare professionals, many developing countries operate a defacto two-tiered system of healthcare provision, in which Community Health Workers (CHWs) supplement service provision by fully qualified physicians. CHWs are relatively inexpensive to train but can treat only a limited range of medical conditions. This paper explicitly models a two-tiered structure of healthcare provision and characterizes the optimal allocation of resources between training doctors and CHWs, and implications for population health outcomes. We analyze how medical migration alters resource allocation and population health outcomes, shifting resources towards training CHWs. In the model, migration stimulates health care …

Incorporating Satellite Derived Cloud Climatologies To Improve High Resolution Interpolation Of Daily Precipitation., Adam M. Wilson, Benoit Parmentier, Brian Mcgill, Rob Guralnick, Walter Jetz

Yale Day of Data

Conservation of biodiversity demands comprehension of evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes that occur over vast spatial and temporal scales. A central goal of ecology is to understand the factors that control the spatial distribution of species and this has become even more important in the face of climate change. However, at global scales there can be enormous uncertainty in environmental data used to model species distributions. Even ‘simple’ metrics such as mean annual precipitation are difficult to estimate in areas with few weather stations and available data sets do not quantify uncertainty in these surfaces. We are developing a …

Detecting Modules In Multiplex Networks – An Application For Integrating Expression Profiles Across Multiple Species, Koon-Kiu Yan, Daifeng Wang, Joel Rozowsky, Henry Zheng, Baikang Pei, Mark Gerstein

Yale Day of Data

Multiplex network, a set of networks linked through interconnected layers, is a useful mathematical framework for data integration. Here, we present a general method to detect modules in multiplex networks and apply it in a specific biological context: to simultaneously cluster the genome-wide expression profiles of C. elegans and D. melanogaster generated by the ENOCDE and modENCODE consortia. The method revealed modules that are fundamentally cross-species and can either be conserved or species-specific. In general, the method could be applied in various contexts like the integration of different social networks.

The Repository As Data (Re) User: Hand Curating For Replication, Limor Peer

Yale Day of Data

On August 31, 2010, Yale University’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies launched the ISPS Data Archive (http://isps.yale.edu/research/data).

The motivation for the Archive was to capture and preserve intellectual output produced by scholars affiliated with ISPS, to share data and associated research output, and to link to publications and projects.

The Archive was developed as a pilot for the university (under the Office for Digital Assets and Infrastructure). It provides a model for customized platforms that meet the needs of one research unit, and otherwise relies entirely on Yale IT and library resources (no third party vendors or tools).
