Recent works have proposed optimal subsampling algorithms to improve computational efficiency in large datasets and to design validation studies in the presence of measurement error. Existing approaches generally fall into two categories:…
Motion planning under differential constraints is a classic problem in robotics. To date, the state of the art is represented by sampling-based techniques, with the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree algorithm as a leading example. Yet, the…
The R package SamplingStrata was developed in 2011 as an instrument to optimize the design of stratified samples. The optimization is performed by considering the stratification variables available in the sampling frame, and the precision…
A plethora of disparate statistical methods have been proposed for subgroup identification to help tailor treatment decisions for patients. However a majority of them do not have corresponding R packages and the few that do pertain to…
The matched case-control design, up until recently mostly pertinent to epidemiological studies, is becoming customary in biomedical applications as well. For instance, in omics studies, it is quite common to compare cancer and healthy…
Sampling methods that choose a subset of the data proportional to its diversity in the feature space are popular for data summarization. However, recent studies have noted the occurrence of bias (under- or over-representation of a certain…
sparseDFM is an R package for the implementation of popular estimation methods for dynamic factor models (DFMs) including the novel Sparse DFM approach of Mosley et al. (2023). The Sparse DFM ameliorates interpretability issues of factor…
Planning empirical experiments such as clinical trials or A/B tests requires sample size determination, which in many interesting cases has no closed-form solution (e.g. factorial or adaptive designs). adsasi is a new R package that enables…
The study proposes a new decision theoretic sampling plan (DSP) for Type-I and Type-I hybrid censored samples when the lifetimes of individual items are exponentially distributed with a scale parameter. The DSP is based on an estimator of…
Correlation among the observations in high-dimensional regression modeling can be a major source of confounding. We present a new open-source package, plmmr, to implement penalized linear mixed models in R. This R package estimates…
In cancer research, leveraging patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in pre-clinical experiments is a crucial approach for assessing innovative therapeutic strategies. Addressing the inherent variability in treatment response among and within…
The matrixdist R package provides a comprehensive suite of tools for the statistical analysis of matrix distributions, including phase-type, inhomogeneous phase-type, discrete phase-type, and related multivariate distributions. This paper…
Under "measurement constraints," responses are expensive to measure and initially unavailable on most of records in the dataset, but the covariates are available for the entire dataset. Our goal is to sample a relatively small portion of…
Diffusion models (DMs) have established themselves as the state-of-the-art generative modeling approach in the visual domain and beyond. A crucial drawback of DMs is their slow sampling speed, relying on many sequential function evaluations…
We demonstrate for the first time that ill-conditioned, non-smooth, constrained distributions in very high dimension, upwards of 100,000, can be sampled efficiently $\textit{in practice}$. Our algorithm incorporates constraints into the…
The R package optimall offers a collection of functions that efficiently streamline the design process of sampling in surveys ranging from simple to complex. The package's main functions allow users to interactively define and adjust strata…
It is well understood that client-master communication can be a primary bottleneck in Federated Learning. In this work, we address this issue with a novel client subsampling scheme, where we restrict the number of clients allowed to…
Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) are widely used to elicit preferences for products or services by analyzing choices among alternatives described by their attributes. The quality of the insights obtained from a DCE heavily depends on the…
Efficient algorithms for searching for optimal saturated designs are widely available. They maximize a given efficiency measure (such as D-optimality) and provide an optimum design. Nevertheless, they do not guarantee a \emph{global}…
We study the collection and delivery problem of biomedical specimens (CDSP) with multiple trips, time windows, a homogeneous fleet, and the objective of minimizing total completion time of delivery requests. This is a prominent problem in…
