Genetic variants of DOCK2, EPHB1 and VAV2 in the natural killer cell-related pathway are associated with non-small cell lung cancer survival.
(American journal of cancer research, 2021-01)Although natural killer (NK) cells are a known major player in anti-tumor immunity, the effect of genetic variation in NK-associated genes on survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unknown. ... -
Improving Clinical Prediction Models with Statistical Representation Learning
(2021)This dissertation studies novel statistical machine learning approaches for healthcare risk prediction applications in the presence of challenging scenarios, such as rare events, noisy observations, data imbalance, missingness ... -
Modeling and Methodological Advances in Causal Inference
(2021)This thesis presents several novel modeling or methodological advancements to causal inference. First, we investigate the use of propensity score weighting in the randomized trials for covariate adjustment. We introduce ... -
Novel Genetic Variants of ALG6 and GALNTL4 of the Glycosylation Pathway Predict Cutaneous Melanoma-Specific Survival.
(Cancers, 2020-01-24)Because aberrant glycosylation is known to play a role in the progression of melanoma, we hypothesize that genetic variants of glycosylation pathway genes are associated with the survival of cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients. ... -
On the Advancement of Probabilistic Models of Decompression Sickness
(2016)The work presented in this dissertation is focused on applying engineering methods to develop and explore probabilistic survival models for the prediction of decompression sickness in US NAVY divers. Mathematical modeling, ... -
Probabilistic Time-to-Event Modeling Approaches for Risk Profiling
(2021)Modern health data science applications leverage abundant molecular and electronic health data, providing opportunities for machine learning to build statistical models to support clinical practice. Time-to-event analysis, ...
