The development of statistical approaches for the joint modelling of the temporal changes of imaging, biochemical, and clinical biomarkers is of paramount importance for improving the understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, and for…
The ability to accurately estimate risk of developing breast cancer would be invaluable for clinical decision-making. One promising new approach is to integrate image-based risk models based on deep neural networks. However, one must take…
Survival analysis is a challenging variation of regression modeling because of the presence of censoring, where the outcome measurement is only partially known, due to, for example, loss to follow up. Such problems come up frequently in…
Medical practitioners use survival models to explore and understand the relationships between patients' covariates (e.g. clinical and genetic features) and the effectiveness of various treatment options. Standard survival models like the…
Identifying the mutations that drive cancer growth is key in clinical decision making and precision oncology. As driver mutations confer selective advantage and thus have an increased likelihood of occurrence, frequency-based statistical…
In this work, we propose two novel methodologies to study temporal and morphological phenotypic effects caused by different experimental conditions using imaging data. As a proof of concept, we apply them to analyze drug effects in 2D…
Discrete biomarkers derived as cell densities or counts from tissue microarrays and immunostaining are widely used to study immune signatures in relation to survival outcomes in cancer. Although routinely collected, these signatures are not…
We present an applied study in cancer genomics for integrating data and inferences from laboratory experiments on cancer cell lines with observational data obtained from human breast cancer studies. The biological focus is on improving…
Prediction of patient survival using high-dimensional multi-omics data requires systematic feature selection methods that ensure predictive performance, sparsity, and reliability for prognostic biomarker discovery. We developed a hybrid…
In recent years, the growing availability of biomedical datasets featuring numerous longitudinal covariates has motivated the development of several multi-step methods for the dynamic prediction of survival outcomes. These methods employ…
Several biomarkers are hypothesized to indicate early stages of Alzheimer's disease, well before the cognitive symptoms manifest. Their precise relations to the disease progression, however, is poorly understood. This lack of understanding…
Screening and surveillance are routinely used in medicine for early detection of disease and close monitoring of progression. Biomarkers are one of the primarily tools used for these tasks, but their successful translation to clinical…
Patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) undergo repeated computed tomography (CT) imaging during treatment to monitor disease progression. Accurate longitudinal tracking of individual lesions across scans from multiple radiologists is…
In observational studies with survival or time-to-event outcomes, a propensity score weighted marginal Cox proportional hazard model with the treatment variable as the only predictor is commonly used to estimate the causal marginal hazard…
The proportional hazards assumption in the commonly used Cox model for censored failure time data is often violated in scientific studies. Yang and Prentice (2005) proposed a novel semiparametric two-sample model that includes the…
In biomedical imaging, deep learning-based methods are state-of-the-art for every modality (virtual slides, MRI, etc.) In histopathology, these methods can be used to detect certain biomarkers or classify lesions. However, such techniques…
Competing risk data appear widely in modern biomedical research. Cause-specific hazard models are often used to deal with competing risk data in the past two decades. There is no current study on the kernel likelihood method for the…
In active surveillance of prostate cancer, cancer progression is interval-censored and the examination to detect progression is subject to misclassification, usually false negatives. Meanwhile, patients may initiate early treatment before…
Motivation: Precision medicine is a major trend in the future of medicine. It aims to provide tailored medical treatment and prevention strategies based on an individual's unique characteristics and needs. Biomarker is the primary source of…
Accurately predicting early recurrence in brain tumor patients following surgical resection remains a clinical challenge. This study proposes a multi-modal machine learning framework that integrates structural MRI features with clinical…
