Survival Analysis Using Auxiliary Variables Via Nonparametric Multiple Imputation, Chiu-Hsieh Hsu, Jeremy Taylor, Susan Murray, Daniel Commenges Nov 2004

Survival Analysis Using Auxiliary Variables Via Nonparametric Multiple Imputation, Chiu-Hsieh Hsu, Jeremy Taylor, Susan Murray, Daniel Commenges

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We develop an approach, based on multiple imputation, that estimates the marginal survival distribution in survival analysis using auxiliary variable to recover information for censored observations. To conduct the imputation, we use two working survival model to define the nearest neighbor imputing risk set. One model is for the event times and the other for the censoring times. Based on the imputing risk set, two nonparametric multiple imputation methods are considered: risk set imputation, and Kaplan-Meier estimator. For both methods a future event or censoring time is imputed for each censored observation. With a categorical auxiliary variable, we show that …


A Bayesian Mixture Model Relating Dose To Critical Organs And Functional Complication In 3d Conformal Radiation Therapy, Tim Johnson, Jeremy Taylor, Randall K. Ten Haken, Avraham Eisbruch Nov 2004

A Bayesian Mixture Model Relating Dose To Critical Organs And Functional Complication In 3d Conformal Radiation Therapy, Tim Johnson, Jeremy Taylor, Randall K. Ten Haken, Avraham Eisbruch

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

A goal of radiation therapy is to deliver maximum dose to the target tumor while minimizing complications due to irradiation of critical organs. Technological advances in 3D conformal radiation therapy has allowed great strides in realizing this goal, however complications may still arise. Critical organs may be adjacent to tumors or in the path of the radiation beam. Several mathematical models have been proposed that describe a relationship between dose and observed functional complication, however only a few published studies have successfully fit these models to data using modern statistical methods which make efficient use of the data. One complication …

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr Antitrust Series

On 30 September 2004, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, the University of Nyenrode, and Global Competition Review co-sponsored a seminar on the reform of Article 82 EC by the European Commission. The seminar raised a great deal of interest amongst members of the legal community and attracted a large attendance. The speakers included some of the most well-known top-level policy makers, academics, and practitioners in the field of competition law. Over the last two years, there have been numerous calls for modernization of the way in which Article 82 of the EC Treaty is applied by the European …

Kalman Consensus Strategies And Their Application To Cooperative Control, Randal Beard, Derek Kingston, Wei Ren Nov 2004

Kalman Consensus Strategies And Their Application To Cooperative Control, Randal Beard, Derek Kingston, Wei Ren

Faculty Publications

Sponsorship: AFOSR, NSF. In this paper, we propose discrete-time and continuous-time consensus update schemes motivated by the discrete-time and continuous-time Kalman filters. With certainty information encoded into each agent, the proposed consensus schemes explicitly account for relative confidence in the information that is communicated from each agent in the team. We show mild sufficient conditions under which consensus can be achieved using the proposed schemes in the presence of switching interaction topologies. The Kalman consensus scheme is shown to be input-to-state stable. We show how to exploit this fact in multi-agent cooperative control scenarios.


Design Of Cmos Four-Quadrant Gilbert Cell Multiplier Circuits In Weak And Moderate Inversion, Craig Timothy Remund Nov 2004

Design Of Cmos Four-Quadrant Gilbert Cell Multiplier Circuits In Weak And Moderate Inversion, Craig Timothy Remund

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis presents four-quadrant CMOS current-mode multiplier architectures based on the bipolar Gilbert cell multiplier architecture. Multipliers are designed using the CMOS subthreshold region to take advantage of the subthreshold exponential I-V relationship that closely matches bipolar modeling. It is discovered that biasing to remove drift current components and to address higher order effects such as ideality factor mismatch, threshold mismatch, body effect, and short channel effects, is important to provide a linear multiplier. It is also shown that distortion caused by device size mismatch and offset input currents can be used to cancel the distortion introduced by drift currents …

Absorption, Distribution, And Excretion Of [14C]-3-Chloro-4 Methylaniline Hydrochloride In Two Species Of Birds Following A Single Oral Dose, David A. Goldade, John D. Tessari, John J. Johnston

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Ring-labeled [14C]-3-chloro-4-methylaniline hydrochloride (250 μg per bird) was delivered to 21 red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) and 21 dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) via oral gavage, and the distribution and excretion of radioactivity were determined at 15 and 30 min and 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h (n = 3 per time point). Direct measurement of radioactivity as well as measurement following combustion was accomplished using a liquid scintillation counter. Elimination from most tissues followed a two-compartment model, with very rapid elimination occurring between time 0 and 4 h and a much slower elimination …


Development Of Pole Impact Testing At Multiple Vehicle Side Locations As Applied To The Ford Taurus Structural Platform, Mark Halford Warner Nov 2004

Development Of Pole Impact Testing At Multiple Vehicle Side Locations As Applied To The Ford Taurus Structural Platform, Mark Halford Warner

Theses and Dissertations

A test method was developed whereby repeated pole impacts could be performed at multiple locations per test vehicle, allowing a comparison of energy and crush relationships. Testing was performed on vehicles moving laterally into a 12.75 inch diameter rigid pole barrier. Crush energy absorption characteristics at the different locations were analyzed, and the results compared to test data from broad moving barrier crashes and available crash tests with similar pole impacts. The research documents the crush stiffness characteristics for narrow impacts at various points on the side of the Taurus vehicle platform. Factors encountered during the research include the importance …
