Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for the Sensitivity of a Continuous-Scale Diagnostic Test
Creators: name: Davis, Angela
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Diagnostic testing is essential to distinguish non-diseased individuals from diseased individuals. More accurate tests lead to improved treatment and thus reduce medical mistakes. The sensitivity and specificity are two important measurements for the diagnostic accuracy of a diagnostic test. When the test results are continuous, it is of interest to construct a confidence interval for the sensitivity at a fixed level of specificity for the test. In this thesis, we propose three empirical likelihood intervals for the sensitivity. Simulation studies are conducted to compare the empirical likelihood based confidence intervals with the existing normal approximation based confidence interval. Our studies show that the new intervals had better coverage probability than the normal approximation based interval in most simulation settings.

The enigma of the lamp-and-bowl deposits: an analysis of the practice in the Shephelah, coastal plain, and Beth-Shean Valley during the Iron Age I

description: Enigmatic Canaanite lamp-and-bowl deposits are a fixture in the archaeological record of the southern Levant from the dawn of the Late Bronze Age IIB (LB IIB) until the end of the Iron Age I (Ir1). Petrie and Bliss first encountered the phenomenon during Tell el-Hesi excavations in the late 19th century; striking pottery assemblages comprising of a single lamp rested between two bowls attached rim-to-rim were recovered near the floors and walls of buildings. Despite over 100 years of scholarly interest, the identity, meaning, use, function, preservation, transformation, and eventual end of the practice remains a contentious issue.
With limited evidence for material expression in the Ir1, the existing literature has focused on the practice during the LB IIB. New material from Khirbet al-Ra‘i, however, forms the genesis of the project presented here and offers opportunity to assess the practice afresh in this period. This study will therefore address these contentious issues through the first dedicated analysis of the practice in the Ir1, one that focuses on the stratified record, dating, and ceramic composition for each deposit when forming observations and conclusions. Theories of appropriation and indigenization will also be applied to the material to assess the transformation and preservation of the practice in a time during which Philistine presence is attested in the land.
This analysis demonstrates that deposits were interred at periodic times during and postdating occupation of the building – for example, during times of renovations and following the destruction of a building by violent fire. For this reason, a new interpretation is promoted that argues deposits acted as apotropaic devices, which were symbolically intended to bury or ward off evil entities. The current analysis further shows that while intercultural characteristics are incorporated into the deposits, coupled with the fact that the practice is maintained at sites with Philistine and heterogenous communities, it continued to be a private practice of the indigenous Canaanites. As such, lamp-and- bowl deposits are strong ethnic-cultural markers, thus they represent an effective sign of Canaanite continuity in the Ir1 – the time during which Canaanite culture is ‘supposedly’ in decline.

Empirical Likelihood-Based NonParametric Inference for the Difference between Two Partial AUCS
Creators: name: Yuan, Yan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Compare the accuracy of two continuous-scale tests is increasing important when a new test is developed. The traditional approach that compares the entire areas under two Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves is not sensitive when two ROC curves cross each other. A better approach to compare the accuracy of two diagnostic tests is to compare the areas under two ROC curves (AUCs) in the interested specificity interval.  In this thesis, we have proposed bootstrap and empirical likelihood (EL) approach for inference of the difference between two partial AUCs. The empirical likelihood ratio for the difference between two partial AUCs is defined and its limiting distribution is shown to be a scaled chi-square distribution. The EL based confidence intervals for the difference between two partial AUCs are obtained. Additionally we have conducted simulation studies to compare four proposed EL and bootstrap based intervals.

description: Previous research suggests that the characteristics of both patients and physicians can contribute to the overuse of antibiotics. Until now, patients’ psychosocial characteristics have not been widely explored as a potential contributor to the overuse of antibiotics. In this study, the relationship between a patient’s psychosocial characteristics (self-reported in postal surveys in 2003) and the number of antibiotics they were prescribed (recorded in Finnish national registry data between 2004–2006) were analyzed for 19,300 working-aged Finns. Psychosocial characteristics included life satisfaction, a sense of coherence, perceived stress, hostility, and optimism. In a structural equation model, patients’ adverse psychosocial characteristics were not related to increased antibiotic prescriptions in the subsequent three years. However, these characteristics were strongly associated with poor general health status, which in turn was associated with an increased number of subsequent antibiotic prescriptions. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that individuals who used healthcare services more frequently also received more antibiotic prescriptions. The current study does not support the view that patients’ adverse psychosocial characteristics are related to an increased number of antibiotic prescriptions. This could encourage physicians to actively discuss treatment options with their patients.
Study of Factors of Affecting Recurrence of Myoma after Myomectomy
Creators: name: Wang, Lu
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: This study is performed to evaluate the factors associated with the recurrence of myoma after Myomectomy. Identifying the factors of myoma recurrence will assist the patient and her gynecologist in deciding the most appropriate method of treatment according to her specific social, medical and emotional needs. Multiple logistic regression is used to determine the factors affecting the recurrence. 'Age of Surgery', 'Tumor Size', 'Pelvic Pain' and the interaction between the 'Age of Surgery' and 'Tumor Size' are significant in the final model.  Kaplan-Meier method is used to calculate the cumulative recurrence rate. The 5 year cumulative recurrence rate is 24.32% and the 10 year cumulative recurrence rate is 32.57%.

Year: 2007

description: We propose a resource allocation model for the management of the fund for the screening and treatment of women infected by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The goal is to maximize the number of infected women cured of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections. The population going for screening is divided into groups by ages and races. The group number is dynamic. Dierent groups have dierent infection rates. There are four possible test assays and four possible treatments. We employed a two-phase algorithm to solve the problem. The first phase is small so an exhaustive method is applied, while the second phase is transformed to a knapsack problem and a dynamic programming method is applied.
Empirical Likelihood Based Confidence Intervals for the Difference between Two Sensitivities of Continuous-scale Diagnostic Tests at a Fixed Level of Specificity
Creators: name: Yao, Suqin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Diagnostic testing is essential to distinguish non-diseased individuals from diseased individuals. The sensitivity and specificity are two important indices for the diagnostic accuracy of continuous-scale diagnostic tests. If we want to compare the effectiveness of two tests, it is of interest to construct a confidence interval for the difference of the two sensitivities at a fixed level of specificity. In this thesis, we propose two empirical likelihood based confidence intervals (HBELI and HBELII) for the difference of two sensitivities at a predetermined specificity level. Simulation studies show that when correlation between the two test results exists, HBELI and HBELII intervals perform better than the existing bootstrap based BCa, BTI and BTII intervals due to shorter interval lengths. However, when there is no correlation, BCa, BTI and BTII intervals outperform HBELI and HBELII intervals due to better coverage probability in most simulation settings.
Selecting the Working Correlation Structure by a New Generalized AIC Index for Longitudinal Data
Creators: name: Lin, Wei-Lun
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: The analysis of longitudinal data has been a popular subject for the recent years.  The growth of the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) Liang & Zeger, 1986) is one of the most influential recent developments in statistical practice for this practice.  GEE methods are attractive both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint.  In this paper, we are interested in the influence of different "working" correlation structures for modeling the longitudinal data.  Furthermore, we propose a new AIC-like method for the model assessment which generalized AIC from the point of view of the data generating.  By comparing the difference of the log-likelihood functions between different correlation models, we define the exact   value to create an interval for our model selection.  In this thesis, we combine the GEE method and a new generalized AIC Index for the longitudinal data with different correlation structures.

Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for Generalized Lorenz Curve
Creators: name: Belinga-Hill, Nelly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Lorenz curves are extensively used in economics to analyze income inequality metrics. In this thesis, we discuss confidence interval estimation methods for generalized Lorenz curve. We first obtain normal approximation (NA) and empirical likelihood (EL) based confidence intervals for generalized Lorenz curves. Then we perform simulation studies to compare coverage probabilities and lengths of the proposed EL-based confidence interval with the NA-based confidence interval for generalized Lorenz curve. Simulation results show that the EL-based confidence intervals have better coverage probabilities and shorter lengths than the NA-based intervals at 100p-th percentiles when p is greater than 0.50. Finally, two real examples on income are used to evaluate the applicability of these methods: the first example is the 2001 income data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the second example makes use of households? median income for the USA by counties for the years 1999 and 2006
Evaluating Variance of the Model Credibility Index
Creators: name: Xiao, Yan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Model credibility index is defined to be a sample size under which the power of rejection equals 0.5. It applies goodness-of-fit testing thinking and uses a one-number summary statistic as an assessment tool in a false model world. The estimation of the model credibility index involves a bootstrap resampling technique. To assess the consistency of the estimator of model credibility index, we instead study the variance of the power achieved at a fixed sample size. An improved subsampling method is proposed to obtain an unbiased estimator of the variance of power. We present two examples to interpret the mechanics of building model credibility index and estimate its error in model selection. One example is two-way independent model by Pearson Chi-square test, and another example is multi-dimensional logistic regression model using likelihood ratio test.

Inference for Cox's Regression Model via a New Version of Empirical Likelihood
Creators: name: Jinnah, Ali
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Cox Proportional Hazard Model is one of the most popular tools used in the study of Survival Analysis. Empirical Likelihood (EL) method has been used to study the Cox Proportional Hazard Model. In recent work by Qin and Jing (2001), empirical likelihood based confidence region is constructed with the assumption that the baseline hazard function is known. However, in Cox?s regression model the baseline hazard function is unspecified. In this thesis, we re-formulate empirical likelihood for the vector of regression parameters by estimating the baseline hazard function. The EL confidence regions are obtained accordingly. In addition, Adjusted Empirical Likelihood (AEL) method is proposed. Furthermore, we conduct extensive simulation studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed empirical likelihood methods in terms of coverage probabilities by comparing with the Normal Approximation based method. The simulation studies show that all the three methods produce similar coverage probabilities.
Individual Growth Models of Change in Peabody Picture Vocabulary Scores of Children Treated for Brain Tumors
Creators: name: Shen, Ying
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: The individual growth model is a relatively new statistical technique. It is now widely used to examine the trajectories of individuals and groups in repeated measures data. This study examines the association of the receptive vocabulary over time and characteristics of children who were treated for brain tumors. The children undertook different types of treatment from one to any combinations of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The individual growth model is used to analyze the longitudinal data and to address the issues behind the data. Results of this study present several factors' influences to the rate of change of PPVT scores. The conclusions of this thesis indicate that the decline in the PPVT scores is associated with gender, age at diagnosis, socioeconomic status, type of treatment and Neurological Predictor Scale.

description: The conference presents an attempt to deal with the controversy about research quality control: should it only be individual and "artisanal", on a case by case basis, or can it be general and industrial-scale, e.g. bibliometric? The Italian advocates of the latter argues that the failures of bibliometric offer only anecdotal evidences. Showing them yet another instance of failures and distortions caused by blind applications of bibliometric and quantitative assessment criteria is pointless: like ancient sophists, they will keep on answering that our instances are not enough to make a “heap”. To avoid the trap of the sorites paradox, an alternative strategy would be A different answering strategy would be analyzing individual cases of scientific mistakes, showing if and how they received a social correction, to ask whether we could actually trust a general, industrial-scale quality control. 1. Wikipedia in Italian: the correction of a misleading entry about DOI. Even if Wikipedia community open peer review corrected the entry as soon as the mistake was detected, the source of the mistake, outside Wikipedia, could not be corrected, and the misleading information is still reported on other sites. And it would be pointless to state that a single mistake is just anecdotal, because there are thousands of accurate entries in Wikipedia and we can easily correct the mistaken one. Indeed, (1) each Wikipedia entry is a kind of unique piece (you cannot replace a misleading entry about the DOI with a very good entry about cats); (2) a mistaken entry, even after being corrected, keeps on yielding a wide and persistent social effect. Correcting a single Wikipedia entry is not the same as replacing a defective product issued from a mass production assembly line because a single customer among 10.000 is unsatisfied due to a single quality control failure. 2. Wakefield, The Lancet and the vaccine row: we can apply the arguments above, but with, at least, two differences: (a) the social correction process was much slower (12 years: https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/public/the-end-of-an-error-peer-review/) (b) the huge, persistent social damage was increased by the social trust in top journals as magical excellence bearers: while every perceptive Wikipedia user is aware that a Wikipedia entry is just a work in progress, many of us are encouraged to believe that a paper published in “The Lancet” is excellent by definition. In conclusion, such case by case analysis suggests that there is, indeed, an unbalance between the quality control of science - artisanal and case by case - and its industrial dimension.

The aim of the present study was to determine the potential cellular mechanisms of induction of cell death in human gastrointestinal cancer cell lines after treatment with iodine-biofortified lettuce. We demonstrated that extracts from lettuce enriched with iodine induce apoptosis in gastric AGS and colon HT-29 cancer cells and the mechanism of programmed cell death may be triggered and executed through different signaling pathways, depending on the type of cells. Western blot analysis revealed that iodine-fortified lettuce leads to cell death through the release of cytochrome c to the cytosolic fraction and activation of the primary drivers of apoptosis: caspase-3, caspase-7, and caspase-9. Furthermore, we have reported that apoptotic effects of lettuce extracts may be mediated by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and activation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins such as Bad, Bax, and BID. We also observed mitochondrial dysfunction with the dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential in cells exposed to lettuce extracts. Taken together, these results indicate that the organic form of iodine such as 5-ISA and 3,5-diISA is an important factor in the activation of intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in AGS and HT-29 cancer cells in a p53-independent manner.

description: Information about the effects of phthalates and non-phthalate substitute cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (HEXAMOLL® DINCH) on children's neurodevelopment is limited. The aim of the present research is to evaluate the association between phthalate/HEXAMOLL® DINCH exposure and child neurodevelopment in three European cohorts involved in HBM4EU Aligned Studies. Participating subjects were school-aged children belonging to the Northern Adriatic cohort II (NAC-II), Italy, Odense Child Cohort (OCC), Denmark, and PCB cohort, Slovakia. In each cohort, children's neurodevelopment was assessed through the Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient score (FSIQ) of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale of Children test using three different editions. The children's urine samples, collected for one point in time concurrently with the neurodevelopmental evaluation, were analyzed for several phthalates/HEXAMOLL® DINCH biomarkers. The relation between phthalates/HEXAMOLL® DINCH and FSIQ was explored by applying separate multiple linear regressions in each cohort. The means and standard deviations of FSIQ were 109 +/- 11 (NAC-II), 98 +/- 12 (OCC), and 81 +/- 15 (PCB cohort). In NAC-II, direct associations between FSIQ and DEHP's biomarkers were found: 5OH-MEHP+5oxo-MEHP (beta=2.56; 95% CI 0.58-4.55; N=270), 5OH-MEHP+5cx-MEPP (beta=2.48; 95% CI 0.47-4.49; N=270) and 5OH-MEHP (beta=2.58; 95% CI 0.65-4.51; N=270). On the contrary, in the OCC the relation between DEHP's biomarkers and FSIQ tended to be inverse but imprecise (p-value >/= 0.10). No associations were found in the PCB cohort. FSIQ was not associated with HEXAMOLL® DINCH in any cohort. In conclusion, these results do not provide evidence of an association between concurrent phthalate/DINCHHEXAMOLLR DINCH exposure and IQ in children. © 2022 by the authors

HIV/Aids Relative Survival and Mean Residual Life Analysis
Creators: name: Zhang, Xinjian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Generalized linear models with Poisson error were applied to investigate HIV/AIDS relative survival. Relative excess risk for death within 3 years after HIV/AIDS diagnosis was significantly higher for non-Hispanic blacks, American Indians and Hispanics compared with Whites. Excess hazard for death was also higher in men injection drug users compared with men who have sex with men (MSM). The relative excess hazard of old HIV/AIDS patients is significantly higher compared with younger patients. When CD4 increased, the relative excess hazard decreased; while with the increase of HIV viral load, the relative excess hazard decreased. This is the first study to use national wide data to examine the significance of HIV viral load as a determinant risk factor of disease progression after HIV infection; The mean residual lie needs to
be further analyzed.

Generic Continuous Functions and other Strange Functions in Classical Real Analysis
Creators: name: Woolley, Douglas
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: In this paper we examine continuous functions which on the surface seem to defy well-known mathematical principles. Before describing these functions, we introduce the Baire Category theorem and the Cantor set, which are critical in describing some of the functions and counterexamples. We then describe generic continuous functions, which are nowhere differentiable and monotone on no interval, and we include an example of such a function. We then construct a more conceptually challenging function, one which is everywhere differentiable but monotone on no interval. We also examine the Cantor function, a nonconstant continuous function with a zero derivative almost everywhere. The final section deals with products of derivatives.

Direct Adjustment Method on Aalen's Additive Hazards Model for Competing Risks Data
Creators: name: Akcin, Haci
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Aalen's additive hazards model has gained increasing attention in recently years because it model all covariate effects as time-varying. In this thesis, our goal is to explore the application of Aalen?s model in assessing treatment effect at a given time point with varying covariate effects. First, based on Aalen?s model, we utilize the direct adjustment method to obtain the adjusted survival of a treatment and comparing two direct adjusted survivals, with univariate survival data.  Second, we focus on application of Aalen?s model in the setting of competing risks data, to assess treatment effect on a particular type of failure. The direct adjusted cumulative incidence curve is introduced. We further construct the confidence interval of the difference between two direct adjusted cumulative incidences, to compare two treatments on one risk.

Riccati Equations in Optimal Control Theory
Creators: name: Bellon, James
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: It is often desired to have control over a process or a physical system, to cause it to behave optimally.  Optimal control theory deals with analyzing and finding solutions for optimal control for a system that can be represented by a set of differential equations. This thesis examines such a system in the form of a set of matrix differential equations known as a continuous linear time-invariant system. Conditions on the system, such as linearity, allow one to find an explicit closed form finite solution that can be more efficiently computed compared to other known types of solutions. This is done by optimizing a quadratic cost function.  The optimization leads to solving a Riccati equation. Conditions are discussed for which solutions are possible. In particular, we will obtain a solution for a stable and controllable system. Numerical examples are given
for a simple system with 2x2 matrix coefficients.
Sign Pattern Matrices That Require Almost Unique Rank
Creators: name: Merid, Assefa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: A  sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-, 0}. For a real matrix B, sgn(B) is the sign pattern matrix obtained by replacing  each positive respectively,
negative, zero) entry of B  by + (respectively, -, 0). For a sign pattern matrixA, the sign pattern class of A, denoted  Q(A), is defined as  { B : sgn(B)= A }. The  minimum rank mr(A)(maximum rank MR(A)) of a sign pattern matrix A is the minimum (maximum) of
the ranks of the real matrices in Q(A). 
Several results concerning  sign patterns A that   require almost  unique rank, that is to say, the sign patterns A such that MR(A)= mr(A)+1 are established. In particular, a complete  characterization of these sign patterns is obtained. Further, the results on sign patterns  that  require almost  unique rank are extended to sign patterns A for which the  spread is d =MR(A)-mr(A).
A search for new resonances in multiple final states with a high transverse momentum Z boson in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: A generic search for resonances is performed with events containing a Z boson with transverse momentum greater than 100 GeV, decaying into e+e− or μ+μ−. The analysed data collected with the ATLAS detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. Two invariant mass distributions are examined for a localised excess relative to the expected Standard Model background in six independent event categories (and their inclusive sum) to increase the sensitivity. No significant excess is observed. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are derived for two cases: a model-independent interpretation of Gaussian-shaped resonances with the mass width between 3% and 10% of the resonance mass, and a specific heavy vector triplet model with the decay mode W′ → ZW → ℓℓqq.

Algorithms for Toeplitz Matrices with Applications to Image Deblurring
Creators: name: Kimitei, Symon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: In this thesis, we present the O(n(log n)^2) superfast linear least squares Schur algorithm
(ssschur). The algorithm we will describe illustrates a fast way of solving linear equations or linear least squares problems with low displacement rank. This program is based on the O(n^2) Schur algorithm speeded up via FFT. The algorithm solves a ill-conditioned Toeplitz-like system using Tikhonov regularization. The regularized system is Toeplitz-like of displacement rank 4. We also show the effect of choice of the regularization parameter on the quality of the image reconstructed.
