Cold spraying is an increasingly common approach for repairing and manufacturing components due to its solid-state manufacturing capabilities. However, process optimization remains difficult due to many interdependent parameters and the…
Epidemiological evidence supports an association between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and birth and child health outcomes. Typically, such associations are estimated by regressing an outcome on daily or weekly measures of…
Mediation analysis aims to identify and estimate the effect of an exposure on an outcome that is mediated through one or more intermediate variables. In the presence of multiple intermediate variables, two pertinent methodological questions…
We introduce a pliable lasso method for estimation of interaction effects in the Cox proportional hazards model framework. The pliable lasso is a linear model that includes interactions between covariates X and a set of modifying variables…
Estimating the joint effect of a multivariate, continuous exposure is crucial, particularly in environmental health where interest lies in simultaneously evaluating the impact of multiple environmental pollutants on health. We develop novel…
Exposures to environmental chemicals during gestation can alter health status later in life. Most studies of maternal exposure to chemicals during pregnancy have focused on a single chemical exposure observed at high temporal resolution.…
Detecting the interactions of genetic compounds like genes, SNPs, proteins, metabolites, etc. can potentially unravel the mechanisms behind complex traits and common genetic disorders. Several methods have been taken into consideration for…
A key goal of environmental health research is to assess the risk posed by mixtures of pollutants. As epidemiologic studies of mixtures can be expensive to conduct, it behooves researchers to incorporate prior knowledge about mixtures into…
Motivation: In recent years, the availability of multi-omics data has increased substantially. Multi-omics data integration methods mainly aim to leverage different molecular layers to gain a complete molecular description of biological…
Recent advances in AI for science have highlighted the power of contrastive learning in bridging heterogeneous biological data modalities. Building on this paradigm, we propose HIPPO (HIerarchical Protein-Protein interaction prediction…
Objective: SNP heritability estimates vary substantially across estimation strategies, yet the downstream consequences for polygenic risk score (PRS) construction remain poorly characterised. We systematically benchmarked heritability…
Radiogenomics is an emerging field in cancer research that combines medical imaging data with genomic data to predict patients clinical outcomes. In this paper, we propose a multivariate sparse group lasso joint model to integrate imaging…
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are typically encountered as mixtures of distinct chemicals with distinct effects on multiple health outcomes. Estimating joint causal effects using spatially-dependent observed data is…
Background: Linear mixed-effects models are central for analyzing longitudinal continuous data, yet many learners meet them as scattered formulas or software output rather than as a coherent workflow. There is a need for a single,…
Logistic regression is a standard method in multivariate analysis for binary outcome data in epidemiological and clinical studies; however, the resultant odds-ratio estimates fail to provide directly interpretable effect measures. The…
We consider a high-dimensional multi-outcome regression in which $q,$ possibly dependent, binary and continuous outcomes are regressed onto $p$ covariates. We model the observed outcome vector as a partially observed latent realization from…
High dimensional Poisson regression has become a standard framework for the analysis of massive counts datasets. In this work we estimate the intensity function of the Poisson regression model by using a dictionary approach, which…
Accounting for exposure measurement errors has been recognized as a crucial problem in environmental epidemiology for over two decades. Bayesian hierarchical models offer a coherent probabilistic framework for evaluating associations…
This study quantifies the association between air pollution and mortality in Ontario, Canada. Exposure-response relationships in air pollution epidemiology are complex due to three features: time-lagged associations, non-linear…
The largest source of systematic errors in the time-delay cosmography method likely arises from the lens model mass distribution, where an inaccurate choice of model could in principle bias the value of $H_0$. A Bayesian hierarchical…
