Parametric likelihood inference for interval censored competing risks data

description: Parametric estimation of the cumulative incidence function (CIF) is considered for competing risks data subject to interval censoring. Existing parametric models of the CIF for right censored competing risks data are adapted to the general case of interval censoring. Maximum likelihood estimators for the CIF are considered under the assumed models, extending earlier work on nonparametric estimation. A simple naive likelihood estimator is also considered that utilizes only part of the observed data. The naive estimator enables separate estimation of models for each cause, unlike full maximum likelihood in which all models are fit simultaneously. The naive likelihood is shown to be valid under mixed case interval censoring, but not under an independent inspection process model, in contrast with full maximum likelihood which is valid under both interval censoring models. In simulations, the naive estimator is shown to perform well and yield comparable efficiency to the full likelihood estimator in some settings. The methods are applied to data from a large, recent randomized clinical trial for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
Partial correlation matrix estimation using ridge penalty followed by thresholding and re-estimation

description: Motivated by the problem of construction gene co-expression network, we propose a statistical framework for estimating high-dimensional partial correlation matrix by a three-step approach. We first obtain a penalized estimate of a partial correlation matrix using ridge penalty. Next we select the non-zero entries of the partial correlation matrix by hypothesis testing. Finally we reestimate the partial correlation coefficients at these non-zero entries. In the second step, the null distribution of the test statistics derived from penalized partial correlation estimates has not been established. We address this challenge by estimating the null distribution from the empirical distribution of the test statistics of all the penalized partial correlation estimates. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the good performance of our method. Application on a yeast cell cycle gene expression data shows that our method delivers better predictions of the protein-protein interactions than the Graphic Lasso.

description: Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is widely used to evaluate the performance of diagnostic tests with continuous or ordinal responses. A popular study design for assessing the accuracy of diagnostic tests involves multiple readers interpreting multiple diagnostic test results, called the multi-reader, multi-test design. Although several different approaches to analyzing data from this design exist, few methods have discussed the sample size and power issues. In this article, we develop a power formula to compare the correlated areas under the ROC curves (AUC) in a multi-reader, multi-test design. We present a nonparametric approach to estimate and compare the correlated AUCs by extending DeLong et al.’s (1988) approach. A power formula is derived based on the asymptotic distribution of the nonparametric AUCs. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed power formula and an example is provided to illustrate the proposed procedure.

description: We report ALMA detections of [CII] and dust continuum in Az9, a multiply-imaged galaxy behind the Frontier Field cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745. The bright [CII] emission line provides a spectroscopic redshift of z = 4.274. This strongly lensed (mu = 7 +/- 1) galaxy has an intrinsic stellar mass of only 2e9 Msun and a total star formation rate of 26 Msun/yr (~80% of which is dust obscured). Using public magnification maps, we reconstruct the [CII] emission in the source plane to reveal a stable, rotation-dominated disk with V/sigma = 5.3, which is > 2x higher than predicted from simulations for similarly high-redshift, low-mass galaxies. In the source plane, the [CII] disk has a half-light radius of 1.8 kpc and, along with the dust, is spatially offset from the peak of the stellar light by 1.4 kpc. Az9 is not deficient in [CII]; L[CII]/LIR = 0.0027 consistent with local and high redshift normal star forming galaxies. While dust-obscured star formation is expected to dominate in higher mass galaxies, such a large reservoir of dust and gas in a lower mass disk galaxy 1.4 Gyr after the Big Bang challenges our picture of early galaxy evolution. Furthermore, the prevalence of such low-mass dusty galaxies has important implications for the selection of the highest redshift dropout galaxies with JWST. As one of the lowest stellar mass galaxies at z > 4 to be detected in dust continuum and [CII], Az9 is an excellent laboratory in which to study early dust enrichment in the interstellar medium.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: The aim of this work is to review and also explore even further the escape properties of orbits in a dynamical system of a two-dimensional perturbed harmonic oscillator, which is a characteristic example of open Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we conduct a thorough numerical investigation distinguishing between trapped (ordered and chaotic) and escaping orbits, considering only unbounded motion for several energy levels. It is of particular interest, to locate the basins of escape towards the different escape channels and connect them with the corresponding escape periods of the orbits. We split our examination into three different cases depending on the function of the perturbation term which determines the number of escape channels on the physical space. In every case, we computed extensive samples of orbits in both the physical and the phase space by integrating numerically the equations of motion as well as the variational equations. In an attempt to determine the regular or chaotic nature of trapped motion, we applied the SALI method as a chaos detector. It was found, that in all studied cases regions of trapped orbits coexist with several basins of escape. It was also observed, that for energy levels very close to the escape value the escape times of orbits are large, while for values of energy much higher than the escape energy the vast majority of orbits escape very quickly or even immediately to infinity. The larger escape periods have been measured for orbits with initial conditions in the boundaries of the escape basins and also in the vicinity of the fractal structure. Most of the current outcomes have been compared with previous related work. We hope that our results will be useful for a further understanding of the escape mechanism of orbits in open Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom.

description: In this paper, we have shown the matter bounce scenario of the Universe in an extended symmetric teleparallel gravity, the f(Q) gravity. Motivated from the bouncing scenario and loop quantum cosmology (LQC), the form of the function $f(Q)$ has been obtained at the backdrop of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson Walker (FLRW) space time. Considering the background cosmology dominated by dust fluid, the e-folding parameter has been expressed, which contains the nonmetricity term. Since the slow roll criterion in the bouncing context is not valid, we used a conformal equivalence between f(Q) and scalar-tensor model to apply the bottom-up reconstruction technique in the bouncing model. The dynamics of the model has been studied through the phase space analysis, where both the stable and unstable nodes are obtained. Also, the stability analysis has been performed with the first order scalar perturbation of the Hubble parameter and matter energy density to verify the stability of the model.

description: We study the intensity, the modulation depth and the mean modulation depth of the gyrosynchrotron (GS) radiation as a function of the frequency and the line of sight (LOS) in fast sausage modes. By solving the 2.5D MHD ideal equations of a straight coronal loop considering the chromosphere and with typical flaring plasma parameters we analyse the wavelet transform of the density and the GS emission for different radio frequencies and different spatial resolutions, given impulsive and general perturbations with energies in the microflare range. A wavelet analysis performed over the GS radiation emission showed that a fast fundamental sausage mode of 7s with a first harmonic mode of 3s developed, for all the initial energy perturbations used. For both the high spatial resolution (central pixel integration) and the low spatial resolution (entire loop integration), the larger the radio frequency, the larger the modulation depth. However, high and low resolution integrations differ in that, the larger the LOS angle with respect to the loop axis, results in a larger and smaller modulation depth, respectively. Fast MHD modes triggered by instantaneous energy depositions of the order of a microflare energy are able to reproduce deep intensity modulation depths in radio emission as observed in solar events. As the trends of the GS emission obtained by Reznikova, Antolin, and Van Doorsselaere (2014), for a linear and forced oscillation, remain present when analysing a more general context, considering the chromosphere and where the sausage mode is triggered by a impulsive, nonlinear perturbation, it seems that the behaviour found can be used as observational identifiers of the presence of sausage modes with respect to other quasi-periodic pulsation features. It can be inferred from this that finite-amplitude sausage modes have the potential to generate the observed deep modulation depths.

description: Le choix porté sur ce sujet s’explique par la mégestion des déchets solides dans l’Université de Kinshasa qui constitue un problème majeur pour cette dernière. C’est ainsi que nous avons évalué les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques (CAP) des étudiants en rapport avec la gestion des déchets solides sur le site de l’Université de Kinshasa  et dont les objectifs consistaient à décrire les caractéristiques sociodémographiques des étudiants, déterminer le niveau des connaissances et la perception des étudiants à la gestion des déchets. Pour y parvenir, nous avons fait recours au questionnaire d’enquête adressé aux étudiants. Nous avons donc décidé de mener une étude descriptive transversale sur un échantillon (384 étudiant) dont la taille minimale a été calculée par la formule de Ficher. Cette étude nous a permis de constater que les déchets solides produits à l’université sont mal gérés avec des risques importants pour la santé des étudiants. Ces étudiants, étant les premiers producteurs des déchets sur le site universitaire, jettent  leurs déchets à l’air libre et laissent le service de ramassage se charger du balayage et de l’évacuation des déchets. La production des déchets sans destination véritables se trouve  également au  chapitre nuisances hygiénique et esthétique. Pour remédier à cette situation, un schéma résumant le système à mettre  en œuvre pour une gestion intégrée et durable des déchets ménagers solides à l’Université de Kinshasa a été proposé comme étant un projet.

description: Semi-parametric regression models for the joint estimation of marginal mean and within-cluster pairwise association parameters are used in a variety of settings for population-averaged modeling of multivariate categorical outcomes. Recently, a formulation of alternating logistic regressions based on orthogonalized, marginal residuals has been introduced for correlated binary data. Unlike the original procedure based on conditional residuals, its covariance estimator is invariant to the ordering of observations within clusters. In this article, the orthogonalized residuals method is extended to model correlated ordinal data with a global odds ratio, and shown in a simulation study to be more eficient and less biased with regards to estimating within-cluster association parameters than an existing extension to ordinal data of alternating logistic regressions based on conditional residuals. Orthogonalized residuals are used to estimate a model for three correlated ordinal outcomes measured repeatedly in a longitudinal clinical trial of an intervention to improve recovery of patients’ perception of altered sensation following jaw surgery.

Homogenization of Dispersive Spacetime Crystals: Anomalous Dispersion and Negative Stored Energy
Creators: name: Serra, João C.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023

description: We introduce a homogenization approach to characterize the dynamical response of a generic dispersive spacetime crystal in the long-wavelength limit. The theory is applied to dispersive spacetime platforms with a travelling-wave modulation. It is shown that for long wavelengths the effective response may be described by a frequency dependent permittivity. Due to the active nature of spacetime systems, the permittivity is not bound by the same constraints as in standard time-invariant metamaterials. In particular, we find that dispersive spacetime crystals can exhibit rather peculiar physics, such as an anomalous (non-Foster) permittivity dispersion with a negative stored energy density, alternate between gain and loss regimes, and present multiple resonances in the quasistatic regime. Furthermore, it is verified with numerical simulations that the effective theory captures faithfully the exact dispersion of the first few photonic bands.

description: In HIV-1 clinical trials the interest is often to compare how well treatments suppress the HIV-1 RNA viral load. The current practice in statistical analysis of such trials is to define a single ad hoc composite event which combines information about both the viral load suppression and the subsequent viral rebound, and then analyze the data using standard univariate survival analysis techniques. The main weakness of this approach is that the results of the analysis can be easily influenced by minor details in the definition of the composite event. We propose a straightforward alternative endpoint based on the probability of being suppressed over time, and suggest that treatment differences be summarized using the restricted mean time a patient spends in the state of viral suppression. A nonparametric analysis is based on methods for multiple endpoint studies. We demonstrate the utility of our analytic strategy using a recent therapeutic trial, in which the protocol specified a primary analysis using a composite endpoint approach.

description: Elliptic multiple polylogarithms occur in Feynman integrals and in particular in scattering amplitudes. They can be characterized by their symbol, a tensor product in the so-called symbol letters. In contrast to the non-elliptic case, the elliptic letters themselves satisfy highly non-trivial identities, which we discuss in this paper. Moreover, we introduce the symbol prime, an analog of the symbol for elliptic symbol letters, which makes these identities manifest. We demonstrate its use in two concrete examples at two-loop order: the unequal-mass sunrise integral in two dimensions and the ten-point double-box integral in four dimensions. Finally, we also report the result of the polylogarithmic nine-point double-box integral, which arises as the soft limit of the ten-point integral.

title: Board diversity in the pursuit of environmental, social and governance goals: a United-Arab-Emirates-based study
Creators: name: Alawadi, Asma
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This qualitative, empirical study explores the influence of board diversity on the attainment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives within organisations based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Building upon existing literature, this research explores the connection between board diversity and ESG objectives in a novel context. Through the thematic analysis of data derived from interviews with 42 board members from UAE-based firms, the study identifies four key themes. The themes are: (i) social resources, (ii) knowledge resources, (iii) contextual resources and (iv) community resources. The findings reveal that diverse board members contribute social resources through their access to various networks, such as senior networks, government networks, international networks and expert networks. The research also underscores the importance of directors possessing extensive professional and educational connections. The study offers a comprehensive review of the knowledge resources available among board members by examining skills, cognitive diversity and demographic diversity. The results demonstrate that contextual resources, such as culture and religion, significantly affect the implementation of ESG objectives. Upon analysing the data, community resources, including geographic and representational diversity, were found to considerably influence the execution of ESG objectives. These findings enrich resource dependence theory (RDT) by pinpointing specific resources that stem from board diversity, as seen from the perspective of board members themselves. The study offers valuable insights for the development of existing literature and for policymakers in formulating regulations pertaining to ESG and board diversity in the UAE and other Gulf region economies.

Proposed method to realize the $p$-wave superfluid state using a $s$-wave superfluid Fermi gas with a synthetic spin-orbit interaction

Year: 2015

description: We theoretically propose an idea to reach the $p$-wave superfluid phase in an ultracold Fermi gas. The key of our idea is that the pairing symmetry of a Fermi superfluid is fully dominated by the symmetry of the superfluid order parameter, which is essentially given by the product of a pair amplitude and a pairing interaction. Noting this, in our proposal, we first prepare a $p$-wave pair amplitude by, not using a $p$-wave interaction, but using the phenomenon that a $p$-wave pair amplitude is induced in an $s$-wave superfluid Fermi gas with antisymmetric spin-orbit interaction. In this case, although the system is still in the $s$-wave superfluid state with the $s$-wave superfluid order parameter, when one suddenly replaces the $s$-wave interaction by an appropriate $p$-wave one (which is possible in cold Fermi gases by using a Feshbach resonance technique), the product of the $p$-wave interaction and the $p$-wave pair amplitude that has already been prepared in the spin-orbit coupled $s$-wave superfluid state immediately gives a finite $p$-wave superfluid order parameter. Thus, at least just after this manipulation, the system is in the $p$-wave superfluid state, being characterized by the artificially produced $p$-wave superfluid parameter. In this paper, to assess our idea, we evaluate the $p$-wave pair amplitude in a spin-orbit coupled $s$-wave superfluid Fermi gas at $T=0$. We determine the region where a large $p$-wave pair amplitude is obtained in the phase diagram with respect to the strengths of the $s$-wave pairing interaction and the spin-orbit coupling. We also discuss the accessibility of this optimal region on the viewpoint of the superfluid phase transition temperature. Since the achievement of a $p$-wave superfluid Fermi gas is one of the most crucial issues in cold atom physics, our proposal would be useful for this exciting challenge.

Multiple kernel learning with random effects for predicting longitudinal outcomes and data integration

description: Predicting disease risk and progression is one of the main goals in many clinical research studies. Cohort studies on the natural history and etiology of chronic diseases span years and data are collected at multiple visits. Although kernel-based statistical learning methods are proven to be powerful for a wide range of disease prediction problems, these methods are only well studied for independent data but not for longitudinal data. It is thus important to develop time-sensitive prediction rules that make use of the longitudinal nature of the data. In this paper, we develop a novel statistical learning method for longitudinal data by introducing subject-specific short-term and long-term latent effects through a designed kernel to account for within-subject correlation of longitudinal measurements. Since the presence of multiple sources of data is increasingly common, we embed our method in a multiple kernel learning framework and propose a regularized multiple kernel statistical learning with random effects to construct effective nonparametric prediction rules. Our method allows easy integration of various heterogeneous data sources and takes advantage of correlation among longitudinal measures to increase prediction power. We use different kernels for each data source taking advantage of the distinctive feature of each data modality, and then optimally combine data across modalities. We apply the developed methods to two large epidemiological studies, one on Huntington's disease and the other on Alzheimer's Disease (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, ADNI) where we explore a unique opportunity to combine imaging and genetic data to study prediction of mild cognitive impairment, and show a substantial gain in performance while accounting for the longitudinal aspect of the data.

description: Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignancies, and cytotoxicity, drug resistance and adverse effects arising from chemotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer patients are the main problems affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy. Hawthorn and its active ingredients have shown activity against liver cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer and melanoma, however, little is known about the activity of Hawthorn and its active ingredients against colorectal cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to screen the active ingredient of Hawthorn, and its anti-colorectal cancer targets through network pharmacology, and explore the potential mechanisms of Hawthorn against colorectal cancer in terms of protein-protein interactions, gene ontology, pathway enrichment and molecular docking. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of hawthorn active ingredient vitexin on the biological behaviors of colorectal cancer cell lines HT-29 and HCT-116 cells, and to explore its mechanism of enhancing the anti-colorectal cancer effects of aspirin by western blot and RT-PCR

description: The values of the bending delays in the signal of a radio pulsar in a binary with a stellar mass black hole as a companion have been calculated accurately within a full general relativistic framework considering the Schwarzchid spacetime near the companion. The results match with the pre-existing approximate analytical expressions unless both of the orbital inclination angle and the orbital phase are close to $90^{\circ}$. For such a case, the approximate analytical expressions underestimate the value of the bending delay. On the other hand, for systems like the double pulsar, those expressions are valid throughout the orbital phase, unless its inclination angle is very close to 90 degrees. For a pulsar-black hole binary, the bending phenomenon also increases the strength of the pulse profile and sometimes can lead to a small low intensity tail.

Year: 2008

description: We propose a class of kernel stick-breaking processes for uncountable collections of dependent random probability measures. The process is constructed by first introducing an infinite sequence of random locations. Independent random probability measures and beta-distributed random weights are assigned to each location. Predictor-dependent random probability measures are then constructed by mixing over the locations, with stick-breaking probabilities expressed as a kernel multiplied by the beta weights. Some theoretical properties of the process are described, including a covariate-dependent prediction rule. A retrospective Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is developed for posterior computation, and the methods are illustrated using a simulated example and an epidemiological application.

description: We report the results of our investigation of SrPt3P, a recently discovered strong-coupling superconductor with Tc = 8.4 K, by application of high physical pressure and by chemical doping. We study hole-doped SrPt3P, which was theoretically predicted to have a higher Tc, resistively, magnetically, and calorimetrically. Here we present the results of these studies and discuss their implications.

description: This paper proposes a physically consistent Gaussian Process (GP) enabling the identification of uncertain Lagrangian systems. The function space is tailored according to the energy components of the Lagrangian and the differential equation structure, analytically guaranteeing physical and mathematical properties such as energy conservation and quadratic form. The novel formulation of Cholesky decomposed matrix kernels allow the probabilistic preservation of positive definiteness. Only differential input-to-output measurements of the function map are required while Gaussian noise is permitted in torques, velocities, and accelerations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in numerical simulation.

description: A comprehensive study of favoured and unfavoured $α$-decay, cluster decay, weak-decay along with spontaneous fission in undetected superheavy nuclei within the range for proton number 111$\leq$Z$\leq$118 and neutron number 161$\leq$N$\leq$192 is performed. Half-lives for various mentioned decays are estimated with good accuracy on the basis of NUBASE2020 and are found in excellent match with the known half-lives. $α$-decay mode is found most probable in this wide range and correspondingly potential $α$-decay chains are reckoned. Peculiarly, the chances of cluster emission, as well as weak-decay, are also anticipated in this region of the periodic chart which open new pathways of detection of superheavy nuclei.

description: Maternal immune activation (MIA) during gestation has been implicated in the development of neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. Epidemiological studies have suggested that the effect of MIA may depend on the gestational timing of the immune challenge and the region of the central nervous system (CNS) in ques?tion. This study investigated the effects of MIA with 100 μg/kg lipopolysaccharide at either Embryonic days (E)12 or E16 on the oligodendrocytes, microglia and astrocytes of the offspring spinal cord. At E16, MIA decreased the number of olig2+ and Iba-1+cells in multiple grey and white matter regions of the developing spinal cord 5 h after injection. These decreases were not observed at postnatal day 14. In contrast, MIA at E12 did not alter Olig2+ or Iba-1+ cell number in the developing spinal cord 5 h after injection, however, Olig2+ cell number was decreased in the ventral grey matter of the P14 spinal cord. No changes were observed in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression at P14 following MIA at either E12 or E16. These data suggest that E16 may be a window of immediate vulnerability to MIA during spinal cord development, however, the findings also suggest that the developmental process may be capable of compensation over time. Potential changes in P14 animals following the challenge at E12 are indicative of the complexity of the effects of MIA during the developmental process
Spin-dependent electron-electron interaction in Rashba materials

description: We review the effects of the pair spin-orbit interaction (PSOI) in Rashba materials. The PSOI is the electron-electron interaction component that depends on the spin and momentum of the electrons. Being produced by the Coulomb fields of interacting electrons, it exists already in vacuum, but becomes orders of magnitude larger in materials with the giant Rashba effect. The main nontrivial feature of the PSOI is that it is attractive for electrons in certain spin configurations tied to their momentum and competes with the Coulomb repulsion of the electrons. Under certain conditions attainable in modern low-dimensional structures the PSOI prevails. The resulting attraction between electrons leads to the formation of bound electron pairs, the binding energy of which can be controlled by electrical means. In many-electron systems the PSOI results in the instabilities of the uniform ground state with respect to the density fluctuations, which develop on different spatial scales, depending on the geometry of the electric fields that produce the PSOI. If the PSOI is not too strong the electronic system is stable, but its collective excitations reveal the highly unusual spin-charge structure and spectrum, which manifest themselves in the frequency dependence of the dynamic conductivity.

Deforming polar active matter in a scalar field gradient

description: Active matter with local polar or nematic order is subject to the well-known Simha-Ramaswamy instability. It is so far unclear how, despite this instability, biological tissues can undergo robust active anisotropic deformation during animal morphogenesis. Here we show that protein concentration gradients (e.g. morphogen gradients), which are known to control large-scale coordination among cells, can stabilize such deformations. To this end, we study a hydrodynamic model of an active polar material. To account for the effect of the protein gradient, the polar field is coupled to the boundary-provided gradient of a scalar field that also advects with material flows. Focusing on the large system size limit, we show in particular: (i) The system can be stable for an effectively extensile coupling between scalar field gradient and active stresses, i.e. gradient-extensile coupling, while it is always unstable for a gradient-contractile coupling. Intriguingly, there are many systems in the biological literature that are gradient-extensile, while we could not find any that are clearly gradient-contractile. (ii) Stability is strongly affected by the way polarity magnitude is controlled. Taken together, our findings, if experimentally confirmed, suggest new developmental principles that are directly rooted in active matter physics.

A note on cause-specific residual life

Year: 2009

description: In medical research, investigators often wish to characterize the distributions of remaining lifetimes. While nonparametric analyses of residual life distributions have been widely studied with independently right-censored data, residual life analysis has not been examined in the competing risks setting, with multiple, potentially dependent, failure types. We define the cause-specific residual life distribution as the residual cumulative incidence function conditionally on survival to a given time. Because of the improper form of the cause-specific distribution, the mean cause-specific residual lifetime does not exist, theoretically. We develop nonparametric inferences for the cause-specific residual life function and its corresponding quantiles, which may exist. Theoretical justification, including uniform consistency and weak convergence, is established. Simulation studies and a breast cancer data analysis demonstrate the practical utility of the methods.
