Appropriate treatment regimens play a vital role in improving patient health status. Although some achievements have been made, few of the recent studies of learning treatment regimens have exploited different kinds of patient information…
Predicting long-term loan defaults is hard because borrower behavior often changes and data distributions shift over time. This paper presents HYDRA-EI, a hybrid ensemble incremental learning framework. It uses several stages of feature…
Subgroup analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) constitute an important component of the drug development process in precision medicine. In particular, subgroup analyses of early-stage trials often influence the design and…
We study Sinkhorn EM (sEM), a variant of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm for mixtures based on entropic optimal transport. sEM differs from the classic EM algorithm in the way responsibilities are computed during the expectation…
Random-effects meta-analysis summarizes heterogeneous trials by estimating an average effect over the observed evidence base, which may not represent the clinically relevant target population. In cardiovascular medicine, treatment effects…
The congruence between affective experiences and physiological changes has been a debated topic for centuries. Recent technological advances in measurement and data analysis provide hope to solve this epic challenge. Open science and open…
