Multivariate analyses play an important role in high energy physics. Such analyses often involve performing an unbinned maximum likelihood fit of a probability density function (p.d.f.) to the data. This paper explores a variety of unbinned…
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder which may result in severe and potentially fatal complications if not well-treated and monitored. In this study, a quantitative analysis of the data collected using CGM (Continuous Glucose…
There are numerous peptides discovered through past decades, which exhibit antimicrobial and anti-cancerous tendencies. Due to these reasons, peptides are supposed to be sound therapeutic candidates. Some peptides can pose low metabolic…
A common problem in health research is that we have a large database with many variables measured on a large number of individuals. We are interested in measuring additional variables on a subsample; these measurements may be newly…
In this paper we consider a class of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) modeling the quantity of a given food contaminant in the body. On the one hand, the amount of contaminant increases with random food intakes and, on the…
Quite generally, constraint-based metabolic flux analysis describes the space of viable flux configurations for a metabolic network as a high-dimensional polytope defined by the linear constraints that enforce the balancing of production…
Accelerometers enable an objective measurement of physical activity levels among groups of individuals in free-living environments, providing high-resolution detail about physical activity changes at different time scales. Current…
Longitudinal biomarkers are frequently collected in clinical studies due to their strong association with time-to-event outcomes. While considerable progress has been made in methods for jointly modeling longitudinal and survival data,…
