Imaging and genomic data offer distinct and rich features, and their integration can unveil new insights into the complex landscape of diseases. In this study, we present a novel approach utilizing radiogenomic data including structural MRI…
Under two-phase designs, the outcome and several covariates and confounders are measured in the first phase, and a new predictor of interest, which may be costly to collect, can be measured on a subsample in the second phase, without…
The family of visibility algorithms were recently introduced as mappings between time series and graphs. Here we extend this method to characterize spatially extended data structures by mapping scalar fields of arbitrary dimension into…
We propose an analytical method for the construction of Hartree-Fock phase diagrams for the (fermion) Hubbard model and various generalizations thereof. Such phase diagrams are traditionally constructed numerically, but we argue that, by…
We propose a general and formal statistical framework for multiple tests of association between known fixed features of a genome and unknown parameters of the distribution of variable features of this genome in a population of interest. The…
Labor intensive experiments are typically required to identify the causal disease variants from a list of disease associated variants in the genome. For designing such experiments, candidate variants are ranked by their strength of genetic…
Accelerated life testing (ALT) is a method of reducing the lifetime of components through exposure to extreme stress. This method of obtaining lifetime information involves the design of a testing experiment, i.e., an accelerated test plan.…
Search space is a key consideration for neural architecture search. Recently, Xie et al. (2019) found that randomly generated networks from the same distribution perform similarly, which suggests we should search for random graph…
When comparing multiple groups in clinical trials, we are not only interested in whether there is a difference between any groups but rather the location. Such research questions lead to testing multiple individual hypotheses. To control…
We address the asymptotic and approximate distributions of a large class of test statistics with quadratic forms used in association studies. The statistics of interest do not necessarily follow a chi-square distribution and take the…
Most of the statistical tests currently used to detect differentially expressed genes are based on asymptotic results, and perform poorly for low expression tags. Another problem is the common use of a single canonical cutoff for the…
We present a methodology for detecting non-linearities in data sets based on the characterization of the structural features of the Fourier phase maps. A Fourier phase map is a 2D set of points $M= \{(\phi_{\vec{k}}, \phi_{\vec{k} +…
This paper is motivated by the comparison of genetic networks based on microarray samples. The aim is to test whether the differences observed between two inferred Gaussian graphical models come from real differences or arise from…
We present a new method based on Functional Data Analysis (FDA) for detecting associations between one or more scalar covariates and a longitudinal response, while correcting for other variables. Our methods exploit the temporal structure…
Large-scale multiple testing tasks often exhibit dependence, and leveraging the dependence between individual tests is still one challenging and important problem in statistics. With recent advances in graphical models, it is feasible to…
Multiple comparisons in hypothesis testing often encounter structural constraints in various applications. For instance, in structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Alzheimer's Disease, the focus extends beyond examining atrophic brain…
Analyzing connections between brain regions of interest (ROI) is vital to detect neurological disorders such as autism or schizophrenia. Recent advancements employ graph neural networks (GNNs) to utilize graph structures in brains,…
When the row and column variables consist of the same category in a two-way contingency table, it is specifically called a square contingency table. Since it is clear that the square contingency tables have an association structure, a…
Generating large synthetic attributed graphs with node labels is an important task to support various experimental studies for graph analysis methods. Existing graph generators fail to simultaneously simulate the relationships between…
Coronary Artery Diseases (CADs) although preventable, are one of the leading causes of death and disability. Diagnosis of these diseases is often difficult and resource intensive. Angiographic imaging segmentation of the arteries has…
