This paper provides theoretical and computational developments in statistical shape analysis of shape graphs, and demonstrates them using analysis of complex data from retinal blood-vessel (RBV) networks. The shape graphs are represented by…
Diabetes is a globally prevalent disease that can cause visible microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in the human eye retina, the images of which are today used for manual disease screening. This…
Despite its high prevalence, anemia is often undetected due to the invasiveness and cost of screening and diagnostic tests. Though some non-invasive approaches have been developed, they are less accurate than invasive methods, resulting in…
Retinal vessel segmentation methods based on standard overlap losses tend to miss thin peripheral vessels because these structures occupy very few pixels and have low contrast against the background. We propose HMS-VesselNet, a hierarchical…
High-dimensional data can be useful for causal inference by providing many confounders that may bolster the plausibility of the ignorability assumption. Propensity score methods are powerful tools for causal inference, are popular in health…
