On inadmissibility of Hotelling T2-tests for restricted alternatives
Creators: name: Tsai, Ming-Tien
name: Sen, Pranab Kumar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: For multinormal distributions, testing against a global shift alternative, the Hotelling T2-test is uniformly most powerful invariant, and hence admissible. For testing against restricted alternatives this feature may no longer be true. It is shown that whenever the dispersion matrix is an M-matrix, Hotelling's T2-test is inadmissible, though some union-intersection tests may not be so.

description: Objective: A positive association between mental health conditions and poor asthma control has been documented in the World Trade Center-exposed population. Whether factors such as medication adherence mediate this association is unknown. Methods: The study population was drawn from adult participants of the World Trade Center Health Registry Cohort who self-reported as asthmatic after the disaster and who were currently prescribed a long-term control medication (LTCM). Multivariable linear regression was used to estimate the associations between mental health condition (PTSD, depression, or anxiety) and continuous adherence and Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores. Results: In the study sample of 1,293, 49% were not adherent to their LTCM and two thirds reported poorly or very poorly controlled asthma. Presence of any mental health condition was associated with a 2-point decline in ACT and half a point decrease in adherence scores. However, in the multivariable model, better adherence was statistically significantly associated with slightly worse control. Conclusions: The total effect of mental health on asthma control was opposite in sign from the product of the paths between mental health and adherence and adherence and asthma control; we therefore found no evidence to support the hypothesis that adherence mediated the negative association between poor mental health and adequate asthma control. More research is needed to understand the complex causal mechanisms that underlie the association between mental and respiratory health.

Background
Early initiation of antiretroviral therapy improves human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) outcomes. However, achieving earlier treatment initiation is challenging for many reasons including provider awareness and clinic barriers; this study sought to understand perceptions of an early initiation program.

Methods
We interviewed 10 providers from 3 HIV clinics in North Carolina (October-November 2020). We asked providers about overall perceptions of early initiation and the pilot program. We developed narrative summaries to understand individual contexts and conducted thematic analysis using NVivo.

Results
Providers believed earlier initiation would signal an “extra sense of urgency” about the importance of antiretroviral therapy—a message not currently reflected in standard of care. Safety was a consistent concern. Cited implementation barriers included transportation assistance, medication sustainability, and guidance to address increased staff time and appointment availability.

Conclusion
Our qualitative findings highlight the need for training on the safety of early initiation and addressing staffing needs to accommodate quicker appointments.

Plain Language Summary
Doctor and clinic staff perspectives on a program to immediately start HIV treatment among patients newly diagnosed with HIV
Treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is easier than ever. Starting newly diagnosed persons on HIV medication as soon as possible is a now recommended goal. However, starting patients right away can be challenging. This study interviewed doctors and clinic staff to better understand their perspectives prior to implementing a program that would provide newly diagnosed patients with HIV treatment immediately. Results showed that some doctors are worried patients will not return after receiving their medications. Providers want support for linking patients to the clinic and ensuring they will be able to receive their next dose of medication when they come in. Other providers saw the benefits of reducing HIV stigma if the program can more quickly start patients on treatment. Some providers explained that when you go to the doctor and are sick you receive medications immediately, yet for newly diagnosed patients living with HIV, patients can be told to come back a month later to start treatment. Some providers believe shifting this messaging may also help patients take their medications better. Most providers saw the need for clinics to have more same-day appointment availability to meet the needs of the new program. Overall, providers were excited about the opportunity to improve the HIV care by offering HIV medications to newly diagnosed patients immediately.

description: Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field. We prove that every Bernstein component in the smooth dual of each inner form of the general linear group $GL_n(F)$ is canonically in bijection with the extended quotient for the action, given by Bernstein, of a finite group on a complex torus. For inner forms of $SL_n(F)$ we prove that each Bernstein component is canonically in bijection with the associated twisted extended quotient. In both cases, the bijections satisfy naturality properties with respect to the tempered dual, parabolic induction, central character, and the local Langlands correspondence.

description: Implicit biases and stereotypes are often pervasive in different forms of creative writing such as novels, screenplays, and children's books. To understand the kind of biases writers are concerned about and how they mitigate those in their writing, we conducted formative interviews with nine writers. The interviews suggested that despite a writer's best interest, tracking and managing implicit biases such as a lack of agency, supporting or submissive roles, or harmful language for characters representing marginalized groups is challenging as the story becomes longer and complicated. Based on the interviews, we developed DramatVis Personae (DVP), a visual analytics tool that allows writers to assign social identities to characters, and evaluate how characters and different intersectional social identities are represented in the story. To evaluate DVP, we first conducted think-aloud sessions with three writers and found that DVP is easy-to-use, naturally integrates into the writing process, and could potentially help writers in several critical bias identification tasks. We then conducted a follow-up user study with 11 writers and found that participants could answer questions related to bias detection more efficiently using DVP in comparison to a simple text editor.
ROLE OF THE MEMBRANE LIPIDS IN THE MOLECULAR RECOGNITION OF GPCRS
Creators: name: Szlenk, Christopher Tytus
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2022

description: Integral membrane proteins constitute approximately one-third of all proteins expressed in biological organisms and are involved in numerous cellular processes. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels constitute 31% of all human therapeutic targets, through which >50% of the marketed small-molecule drugs exert their pharmacological effects. Cell membranes have been known to serve as essential structural media for the proper localization, structure, and function of these protein targets. However, a growing body of evidence shows that membrane lipids play more sophisticated roles. Recent biophysical and computational studies reveal that lipophilic and amphiphilic ligands gain access to their protein targets by first partitioning into the surrounding membrane and then laterally diffuse through the membrane. The structural organization and constraints of the bilayer, including lipid composition, appear to play critical roles in directing ligands to a specific depth within the bilayer and in “pre-organizing” them in an optimal orientation to facilitate receptor binding. Remarkably, several crystal structures of GPCRs and ligand-gated ion channels bound to their ligands offer details on allosteric binding sites at lipid-transmembrane helix interfaces that can be accessed only via lipid-mediated paths. There is a critical gap in the fundamental knowledge of how interactions among these species affect access, binding kinetics, and affinities of drugs to lipid-exposed transmembrane sites. This thesis embodies important work that lays the groundwork for establishing structure-membrane interaction relationships (SMIR) of drugs to characterize the complex interplay between lipids, protein, and ligand molecules to better understand casual and mechanistic relationships. Importantly, an insightful SMIR has been elucidated for the three most commonly used β2-adrenergic receptor agonists, illustrating the role of membrane lipids in affecting their onset and duration of action. Also, a transmembrane allosteric binding site has been characterized for the µ-opioid receptors, and a drug-discovery platform has been established to identify high-affinity allosteric modulators as potential therapeutics with a better safety profile in the treatment of pain. The knowledge gained through this body of work is broadly generalizable to ligands targeting any integral membrane proteins and will greatly facilitate the rational design of drugs directed at a variety of important therapeutic targets.

description: Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumor (MMNST) is a rare and potentially aggressive lesion defined in the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. MMNST demonstrate overlapping histologic and clinical features of schwannoma and melanoma. MMNST often harbor PRKAR1A mutations, especially within the Carney Complex. We present a case of aggressive MMNST of the sacral region in a 48-year-old woman. The tumor contained PRKAR1A frameshift pR352Hfs*89, KMT2C splice site c.7443-1G>T and GNAQ p.R183L missense mutations, as well as BRAF and MYC gains. Genomic DNA methylation analysis using the Illumina 850K EpicBead chip revealed that the lesion did not match an established methylation class; however, uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) placed the tumor very near, or with, schwannomas. The tumor expressed PD-L1, and the patient was treated with radiation and immune checkpoint inhibitors following en bloc resection. Although she had symptomatic improvement, she suffered early disease progression with local recurrence, and distant metastases, and died 18 months after resection. It has been suggested that the presence of GNAQ mutations can differentiate leptomeningeal melanocytic neoplasms and uveal melanoma from MMNST. This case and others demonstrate that GNAQ mutations may exist in malignant nerve sheath tumors; that GNAQ and PRKAR1A mutations are not always mutually exclusive and that neither can be used to differentiate MMNST or MPNST from all melanocytic lesions.

Substance Use-Associated Infant Maltreatment Report Rates in the Context of Complex Prenatal Substance Use Policy Environments
Creators: name: Stritzel, Haley
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: State responses to substance use during pregnancy have included policies designed to increase access to substance use treatment as well as punish such substance use. Prior research has found that punitive policies are associated with increased rates of child maltreatment reporting, but it is unclear if the presence of punitive-promoting policies also moderate the association between access-promoting polices and maltreatment reports. Using data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System and state-level fixed effects models, this study investigates how interactions between access-promoting and punitive prenatal substance use policies are associated with rates of substance use-associated maltreatment reports among infants. In states with punitive policies, access-promoting policies were associated with smaller decreases in these reports than in states without punitive policies. In some cases, access-promoting policies were associated with greater increases in these reports when punitive policies were also present than when only one type of policy was adopted. Interactions between prenatal substance use policies may result in unintended and counterproductive consequences for maternal and child health and the child welfare system.

Year: 2005

description: There are hypothesis testing problems for (nonlinear) functions of parameters against functional ordered alternatives for which a reduction to a conventional order-restricted hypothesis testing problem may not be feasible. While such problems can be handled in an asymptotic setup, among the available choices, it is shown that the union-intersection principle may have certain advantages over the likelihood principle or its ramifications. An application to a genomic model is also considered.

Estimation of a semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear errors-in-variables model
Creators: name: Chen, Gemai
name: You, Jinhong
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This paper studies the estimation of a varying-coefficient partially linear regression model which is a generalization of the partially linear regression model and varying-coefficient regression model [Fan and Huang, Manuscript, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA, 2002]. We focus on the case where some covariates are measured with additive errors. The usual profile least squares and local polynomial estimations lead to biased estimators of the parametric and nonparametric components, respectively, when measurement errors are ignored. By correcting the attenuation we propose a modified profile least squares estimator for the parametric component and a local polynomial estimator for the nonparametric component. We show that the former is consistent, asymptotically normal and achieves the rate in the law of the iterated logarithm, and the latter achieves the optimal strong convergence rate of the usual nonparametric regression. In addition, a consistent estimator is also developed for the error variance. These results can be used to make asymptotically valid statistical inferences. Some simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators.

description: Spin-to-charge conversion is an essential requirement for the implementation of spintronic devices. Recently, monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable interest for spin-to-charge conversion due to their high spin-orbit coupling and lack of inversion symmetry in their crystal structure. However, reports of direct measurement of spin-to-charge conversion at TMD-based interfaces are very much limited. Here, we report on the room temperature observation of a large spin-to-charge conversion arising from the interface of Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$ (Py) and four distinct large area ($\sim 5\times2$~mm$^2$) monolayer (ML) TMDs namely, MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$, and WSe$_2$. We show that both spin mixing conductance and the Rashba efficiency parameter ($λ_{IREE}$) scales with the spin-orbit coupling strength of the ML TMD layers. The $λ_{IREE}$ parameter is found to range between $-0.54$ and $-0.76$ nm for the four monolayer TMDs, demonstrating a large spin-to-charge conversion. Our findings reveal that TMD/ferromagnet interface can be used for efficient generation and detection of spin current, opening new opportunities for novel spintronic devices.

Let $ρ$ be a crystalline representation of $G_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ with distinct Hodge-Tate weights in $[0, p]$, such that its reduction $\overline ρ$ is upper triangular. Under certain conditions, we prove that $\overline ρ$ has an upper triangular crystalline lift $ρ'$ such that $\mathrm{HT}(ρ')=\mathrm{HT}(ρ)$. The method is based on the author's previous work, combined with an inspiration from the work of Breuil-Herzig.

Statistical inference in a panel data semiparametric regression model with serially correlated errors

description: We consider a panel data semiparametric partially linear regression model with an unknown vector β of regression coefficients, an unknown nonparametric function g(·) for nonlinear component, and unobservable serially correlated errors. The correlated errors are modeled by a vector autoregressive process which involves a constant intraclass correlation. Applying the pilot estimators of β and g(·), we construct estimators of the autoregressive coefficients, the intraclass correlation and the error variance, and investigate their asymptotic properties. Fitting the error structure results in a new semiparametric two-step estimator of β, which is shown to be asymptotically more efficient than the usual semiparametric least squares estimator in terms of asymptotic covariance matrix. Asymptotic normality of this new estimator is established, and a consistent estimator of its asymptotic covariance matrix is presented. Furthermore, a corresponding estimator of g(·) is also provided. These results can be used to make asymptotically efficient statistical inference. Some simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performances of these proposed estimators.

Year: 2007

description: For a general class of unipolar, rotationally symmetric distributions on the multi-dimensional unit spherical surface, a characterization of locally best rotation-invariant test statistics is exploited in the construction of locally best rotation-invariant rank tests for modal location. Allied statistical distributional problems are appraised, and in the light of these assessments, asymptotic relative efficiency of a class of rotation-invariant rank tests (with respect to some of their parametric counterparts) is studied. Finite sample permutational distributional perspectives are also appraised.

description: Inspired by human behavior when traveling over unknown terrain, this study proposes the use of probing strategies and integrates them into a traversability analysis framework to address safe navigation on unknown rough terrain. Our framework integrates collapsibility information into our existing traversability analysis, as vision and geometric information alone could be misled by unpredictable non-rigid terrains such as soft soil, bush area, or water puddles. With the new traversability analysis framework, our robot has a more comprehensive assessment of unpredictable terrain, which is critical for its safety in outdoor environments. The pipeline first identifies the terrain's geometric and semantic properties using an RGB-D camera and desired probing locations on questionable terrains. These regions are probed using a force sensor to determine the risk of terrain collapsing when the robot steps over it. This risk is formulated as a collapsibility metric, which estimates an unpredictable region's ground collapsibility. Thereafter, the collapsibility metric, together with geometric and semantic spatial data, is combined and analyzed to produce global and local traversability grid maps. These traversability grid maps tell the robot whether it is safe to step over different regions of the map. The grid maps are then utilized to generate optimal paths for the robot to safely navigate to its goal. Our approach has been successfully verified on a quadrupedal robot in both simulation and real-world experiments.

Sparse principal component analysis via regularized low rank matrix approximation
Creators: name: Shen, Haipeng
name: Huang, Jianhua

Year: 2008

description: Principal component analysis (PCA) is a widely used tool for data analysis and dimension reduction in applications throughout science and engineering. However, the principal components (PCs) can sometimes be difficult to interpret, because they are linear combinations of all the original variables. To facilitate interpretation, sparse PCA produces modified PCs with sparse loadings, i.e. loadings with very few non-zero elements. In this paper, we propose a new sparse PCA method, namely sparse PCA via regularized SVD (sPCA-rSVD). We use the connection of PCA with singular value decomposition (SVD) of the data matrix and extract the PCs through solving a low rank matrix approximation problem. Regularization penalties are introduced to the corresponding minimization problem to promote sparsity in PC loadings. An efficient iterative algorithm is proposed for computation. Two tuning parameter selection methods are discussed. Some theoretical results are established to justify the use of sPCA-rSVD when only the data covariance matrix is available. In addition, we give a modified definition of variance explained by the sparse PCs. The sPCA-rSVD provides a uniform treatment of both classical multivariate data and high-dimension-low-sample-size (HDLSS) data. Further understanding of sPCA-rSVD and some existing alternatives is gained through simulation studies and real data examples, which suggests that sPCA-rSVD provides competitive results.

Fiducial inference on the largest mean of a multivariate normal distribution
Creators: name: Hannig, Jan
name: Wandler, Damian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Inference on the largest mean of a multivariate normal distribution is a surprisingly difficult and unexplored topic. Difficulties arise when two or more of the means are simultaneously the largest mean. Our proposed solution is based on an extension of R.A. Fisher's fiducial inference methods termed generalized fiducial inference. We use a model selection technique along with the generalized fiducial distribution to allow for equal largest means and alleviate the overestimation that commonly occurs. Our proposed confidence intervals for the largest mean have asymptotically correct frequentist coverage and simulation results suggest that they possess promising small sample empirical properties. In addition to the theoretical calculations and simulations we also applied this approach to the air quality index of the four largest cities in the northeastern United States (Baltimore, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia).

description: Recently, in [Electronic Transaction on Numerical Analysis, 41 (2014), pp. 420-442] authors introduced a new class of rational cubic fractal interpolation functions with linear denominators via fractal perturbation of traditional nonrecursive rational cubic splines and investigated their basic shape preserving properties. The main goal of the current article is to embark on univariate constrained fractal interpolation that is more general than what was considered so far. To this end, we propose some strategies for selecting the parameters of the rational fractal spline so that the interpolating curves lie strictly above or below a prescribed linear or a quadratic spline function. Approximation property of the proposed rational cubic fractal spine is broached by using the Peano kernel theorem as an interlude. The paper also provides an illustration of background theory, veined by examples.
