The use of external data in clinical trials offers numerous advantages, such as reducing the number of patients, increasing study power, and shortening trial durations. In Bayesian inference, information in external data can be transferred…
Research in oncology has changed the focus from histological properties of tumors in a specific organ to a specific genomic aberration potentially shared by multiple cancer types. This motivates the basket trial, which assesses the efficacy…
The use of mutual information as a similarity measure in agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) raises an important issue: some correction needs to be applied for the dimensionality of variables. In this work, we formulate the decision…
In this work, we offer a thorough analytical investigation into the role of shared hyperparameters in a hierarchical Bayesian model, examining their impact on information borrowing and posterior inference. Our approach is rooted in a…
Motivation: Clustering is a frequently used concept in variety of bioinformatical applications. We present a new method for hierarchical clustering of data called mutual information clustering (MIC) algorithm. It uses mutual information…
Tissue-agnostic trials enroll patients based on their genetic biomarkers, not tumor type, in an attempt to determine if a new drug can successfully treat disease conditions based on biomarkers. The Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM) provides…
Biclustering is an unsupervised machine-learning approach aiming to cluster rows and columns simultaneously in a data matrix. Several biclustering algorithms have been proposed for handling numeric datasets. However, real-world data mining…
The information bottleneck (IB) approach to clustering takes a joint distribution $P\!\left(X,Y\right)$ and maps the data $X$ to cluster labels $T$ which retain maximal information about $Y$ (Tishby et al., 1999). This objective results in…
A network has a non-overlapping community structure if the nodes of the network can be partitioned into disjoint sets such that each node in a set is densely connected to other nodes inside the set and sparsely connected to the nodes out-…
In the past few years co-clustering has emerged as an important data mining tool for two way data analysis. Co-clustering is more advantageous over traditional one dimensional clustering in many ways such as, ability to find highly…
This paper presents a novel feature selection method based on the conditional mutual information (CMI). The proposed High Order Conditional Mutual Information Maximization (HOCMIM) incorporates high order dependencies into the feature…
We present a method for hierarchical clustering of data called {\it mutual information clustering} (MIC) algorithm. It uses mutual information (MI) as a similarity measure and exploits its grouping property: The MI between three objects $X,…
This paper describes a new approach for learning structures of large Bayesian networks based on blocks resulting from feature space clustering. This clustering is obtained using normalized mutual information. And the subsequent aggregation…
Maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) are asymptotically normally distributed, and this property is used in meta-analyses to test the heterogeneity of estimates, either for a single cluster or for several sub-groups. More recently, MLEs for…
Our interest is in multiplex network data with multiple network samples observed across the same set of nodes. Examples originate from a variety of fields, including brain connectivity, international trade networks, and social networks,…
Bagging and boosting are proved to be the best methods of building multiple classifiers in classification combination problems. In the area of "flat clustering" problems, it is also recognized that multi-clustering methods based on boosting…
Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a natural framework to effectively integrate data and borrow information across groups. In this paper, we address problems related to density estimation and identifying clusters across related groups, by…
Hierarchical clustering is a stronger extension of one of today's most influential unsupervised learning methods: clustering. The goal of this method is to create a hierarchy of clusters, thus constructing cluster evolutionary history and…
For dynamic borrowing to leverage external data to augment the control arm of small RCTs, the key step is determining the amount of borrowing based on the similarity of the outcomes in the controls from the trial and the external data…
A novel method to obtain hierarchical and overlapping clusters from network data -i.e., a set of nodes endowed with pairwise dissimilarities- is presented. The introduced method is hierarchical in the sense that it outputs a nested…
