Second Order Inference For The Mean Of A Variable Missing At Random, Ivan Diaz, Marco Carone, Mark J. Van Der Laan May 2015

Second Order Inference For The Mean Of A Variable Missing At Random, Ivan Diaz, Marco Carone, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We present a second order estimator of the mean of a variable subject to missingness, under the missing at random assumption. The estimator improves upon existing methods by using an approximate second order expansion of the parameter functional, in addition to the first order expansion employed by standard doubly robust methods. This results in weaker assumptions about the convergence rates necessary to establish consistency, local efficiency, and asymptotic linearity. The general estimation strategy is developed under the targeted minimum loss based estimation (TMLE) framework. We present a simulation comparing the sensitivity of the first and second order estimators to the …

Adaptive Pre-Specification In Randomized Trials With And Without Pair-Matching, Laura B. Balzer, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen May 2015

Adaptive Pre-Specification In Randomized Trials With And Without Pair-Matching, Laura B. Balzer, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In randomized trials, adjustment for measured covariates during the analysis can reduce variance and increase power. To avoid misleading inference, the analysis plan must be pre-specified. However, it is unclear a priori which baseline covariates (if any) should be included in the analysis. Consider, for example, the Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health (SEARCH) trial for HIV prevention and treatment. There are 16 matched pairs of communities and many potential adjustment variables, including region, HIV prevalence, male circumcision coverage and measures of community-level viral load. In this paper, we propose a rigorous procedure to data-adaptively select the adjustment set …

Double Robust Estimation Of Encouragement-Design Intervention Effects Transported Across Sites, Kara E. Rudolph, Mark J. Van Der Laan May 2015

Double Robust Estimation Of Encouragement-Design Intervention Effects Transported Across Sites, Kara E. Rudolph, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We develop double robust targeted maximum likelihood estimators (TMLE) for transporting intervention effects from one population to another. Specifically, we develop TMLE estimators for three transported estimands: intent-to-treat average treatment effect (ATE) and complier ATE, which are relevant for encouragement-design interventions and instrumental variable analyses, and the ATE of the exposure on the outcome, which is applicable to any randomized or observational study. We demonstrate finite sample performance of these TMLE estimators using simulation, including in the presence of practical violations of the positivity assumption. We then apply these methods to the Moving to Opportunity trial, a multi-site, encouragement-design intervention …

Stochastic Optimization Via Forward Slice, Bob A. Salim, Lurdes Y. T. Inoue May 2015

Stochastic Optimization Via Forward Slice, Bob A. Salim, Lurdes Y. T. Inoue

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Optimization consists of maximizing or minimizing a real-valued objective function. In many problems, the objective function may not yield closed-form solutions. Over many decades, optimization methods, both deterministic and stochastic, have been developed to provide solutions to these problems. However, some common limitations of these methods are the sensitivity to the initial value and that often current methods only find a local (non-global) extremum. In this article, we propose an alternative stochastic optimization method, which we call "Forward Slice", and assess its performance relative to available optimization methods.

Using Capture-Mark-Recapture Techniques To Estimate Detection Probabilities & Fidelity Of Expression For The Critically Endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema Collina)., Alaina C. Esposito May 2015

Using Capture-Mark-Recapture Techniques To Estimate Detection Probabilities & Fidelity Of Expression For The Critically Endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema Collina)., Alaina C. Esposito

Masters Theses, 2010-2019

The critically endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) is a species of freshwater mussel endemic to Virginia’s James and Dan River basins. In the last 20 years, P. collina has experienced a substantial decline in numbers and currently occupies approximately 10% of its original habitat; however, little information is known about this species to assist in conservation. A 230-meter reach of transitional habitat in Swift Run was selected for repeat observations to estimate detection probabilities using a Capture-Mark-Recapture framework. In June 2014, visual scouting began to locate and tag P. collina (including other mussels in the community) with PIT …

Distance Correlation Measures Applied To Analyze Relation Between Variables In Liver Cirrhosis Marker Data, Atanu Bhattacharjee Dr. May 2015

Distance Correlation Measures Applied To Analyze Relation Between Variables In Liver Cirrhosis Marker Data, Atanu Bhattacharjee Dr.

COBRA Preprint Series

Distance Correlation is another newer choice to compute the relation between variables. However, the Bayesian counterpart of Distance Correlation is not established. In this paper, Bayesian counterpart of Distance Correlation is pro- posed. Proposed method is illustrated with Liver Chirrhosis Marker data. The relevant studies information about relation between AST and ALT is used to formulate the prior information for Bayesian computation. The Distance Correlation between AST and ALT (both are liver performance marker) is computed with 0.44. The credible interval is observed with (0.41, 0.46).Bayesian counter- part to compute Distance correlation is simple and handy.

Novel Applications Of And Extensions To Linear Regression Methods For The Biomedical And Materials Sciences., Joe Bible

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this work we present three topics, each of which centered on either the application or modification of various linear regression methods. Our work with respect to the “Materials Genome” project while undermined by oversimplification and data integrity issues in its early stages, provides a sound platform from which the project can proceed successfully. Building upon a growing body of knowledge around the use of Weighted Generalized Estimating Equations (WGEE), our second investigation proposes an extension to that framework intended to address the inherent bias present in the analysis of clustered longitudinal data with potentially informative cluster sizes and temporal …

Optcluster : An R Package For Determining The Optimal Clustering Algorithm And Optimal Number Of Clusters., Michael N. Sekula May 2015

Optcluster : An R Package For Determining The Optimal Clustering Algorithm And Optimal Number Of Clusters., Michael N. Sekula

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Determining the best clustering algorithm and ideal number of clusters for a particular dataset is a fundamental difficulty in unsupervised clustering analysis. In biological research, data generated from Next Generation Sequencing technology and microarray gene expression data are becoming more and more common, so new tools and resources are needed to group such high dimensional data using clustering analysis. Different clustering algorithms can group data very differently. Therefore, there is a need to determine the best groupings in a given dataset using the most suitable clustering algorithm for that data. This paper presents the R package optCluster as an efficient …

Adaptive Enrichment Designs For Randomized Trials With Delayed Endpoints, Using Locally Efficient Estimators To Improve Precision, Michael Rosenblum, Tianchen Qian, Yu Du, Huitong Qiu Apr 2015

Adaptive Enrichment Designs For Randomized Trials With Delayed Endpoints, Using Locally Efficient Estimators To Improve Precision, Michael Rosenblum, Tianchen Qian, Yu Du, Huitong Qiu

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

Adaptive enrichment designs involve preplanned rules for modifying enrollment criteria based on accrued data in an ongoing trial. For example, enrollment of a subpopulation where there is sufficient evidence of treatment efficacy, futility, or harm could be stopped, while enrollment for the remaining subpopulations is continued. Most existing methods for constructing adaptive enrichment designs are limited to situations where patient outcomes are observed soon after enrollment. This is a major barrier to the use of such designs in practice, since for many diseases the outcome of most clinical importance does not occur shortly after enrollment. We propose a new class …

Simulation Of Semicompeting Risk Survival Data And Estimation Based On Multistate Frailty Model, Fei Jiang, Sebastien Haneuse Apr 2015

Simulation Of Semicompeting Risk Survival Data And Estimation Based On Multistate Frailty Model, Fei Jiang, Sebastien Haneuse

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

We develop a simulation procedure to simulate the semicompeting risk survival data. In addition, we introduce an EM algorithm and a B–spline based estimation procedure to evaluate and implement Xu et al. (2010)’s nonparametric likelihood es- timation approach. The simulation procedure provides a route to simulate samples from the likelihood introduced in Xu et al. (2010)’s. Further, the EM algorithm and the B–spline methods stabilize the estimation and gives accurate estimation results. We illustrate the simulation and the estimation procedure with simluation examples and real data analysis.

Test On Existence Of Histology Subtype-Specific Prognostic Signatures Among Early Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma And Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Using A Cox-Model Based Filter, Suyan Tian, Chi Wang, Ming-Wen An Apr 2015

Test On Existence Of Histology Subtype-Specific Prognostic Signatures Among Early Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma And Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Using A Cox-Model Based Filter, Suyan Tian, Chi Wang, Ming-Wen An

Biostatistics Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant histological type of lung cancer, accounting for up to 85% of cases. Disease stage is commonly used to determine adjuvant treatment eligibility of NSCLC patients, however, it is an imprecise predictor of the prognosis of an individual patient. Currently, many researchers resort to microarray technology for identifying relevant genetic prognostic markers, with particular attention on trimming or extending a Cox regression model. Adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are two major histology subtypes of NSCLC. It has been demonstrated that fundamental differences exist in their underlying mechanisms, which motivated us …

Impact Of Population Stratification On Family-Based Association In An Admixed Population, T. B. Mersha, L. Ding, H. He, E. S. Alexander, X. Zhang, B. G. Kurowski, V. Pilipenko, L. Kottyan, L. J. Martin, David W. Fardo

Biostatistics Faculty Publications

Population substructure is a well-known confounder in population-based case-control genetic studies, but its impact in family-based studies is unclear. We performed population substructure analysis using extended families of admixed population to evaluate power and Type I error in an association study framework. Our analysis shows that power was improved by 1.5% after principal components adjustment. Type I error was also reduced by 2.2% after adjusting for family substratification. The presence of population substructure was underscored by discriminant analysis, in which over 92% of individuals were correctly assigned to their actual family using only 100 principal components. This study demonstrates the …

Zero-Inflated Models To Identify Transcription Factor Binding Sites In Chip-Seq Experiments, Sameera Dhananjaya Viswakula Apr 2015

Zero-Inflated Models To Identify Transcription Factor Binding Sites In Chip-Seq Experiments, Sameera Dhananjaya Viswakula

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

It is essential to determine the protein-DNA binding sites to understand many biological processes. A transcription factor is a particular type of protein that binds to DNA and controls gene regulation in living organisms. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by highthroughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is considered the gold standard in locating these binding sites and programs use to identify DNA-transcription factor binding sites are known as peak-callers. ChIP-seq data are known to exhibit considerable background noise and other biases. In this study, we propose a negative binomial model (NB), a zero-inflated Poisson model (ZIP) and a zero-inflated negative binomial model (ZINB) for peak-calling. …

Targeted Estimation And Inference For The Sample Average Treatment Effect, Laura B. Balzer, Maya L. Petersen, Mark J. Van Der Laan Mar 2015

Targeted Estimation And Inference For The Sample Average Treatment Effect, Laura B. Balzer, Maya L. Petersen, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

While the population average treatment effect has been the subject of extensive methods and applied research, less consideration has been given to the sample average treatment effect: the mean difference in the counterfactual outcomes for the study units. The sample parameter is easily interpretable and is arguably the most relevant when the study units are not representative of a greater population or when the exposure's impact is heterogeneous. Formally, the sample effect is not identifiable from the observed data distribution. Nonetheless, targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) can provide an asymptotically unbiased and efficient estimate of both the population and sample …

Spectral Gene Set Enrichment (Sgse), H Robert Frost, Zhigang Li, Jason H. Moore Mar 2015

Spectral Gene Set Enrichment (Sgse), H Robert Frost, Zhigang Li, Jason H. Moore

Dartmouth Scholarship

Gene set testing is typically performed in a supervised context to quantify the association between groups of genes and a clinical phenotype. In many cases, however, a gene set-based interpretation of genomic data is desired in the absence of a phenotype variable. Although methods exist for unsupervised gene set testing, they predominantly compute enrichment relative to clusters of the genomic variables with performance strongly dependent on the clustering algorithm and number of clusters. We propose a novel method, spectral gene set enrichment (SGSE), for unsupervised competitive testing of the association between gene sets and empirical data sources. SGSE first computes …
