Abstrak : Electronic health records (EHR) provide opportunities for deeper understanding of human phenotypes—in our case, latent disease—based on statistical modeling. We propose a categorical matrix factorization method to infer latent diseases from EHR data. A latent disease is defined as an unknown biological aberration that causes a set of common symptoms for a group of patients. The proposed approach is based on a novel double feature allocation model which simultaneously allocates features to the rows and the columns of a categorical matrix. Using a Bayesian approach, available prior information on known diseases (e.g., hypertension and diabetes) greatly improves identifiability and interpretability of the latent diseases. We assess the proposed approach by simulation studies including mis-specified models and comparison with sparse latent factor models. In the application to a Chinese EHR dataset, we identify 10 latent diseases, each of which is shared by groups of subjects with specific health traits related to lipid disorder, thrombocytopenia, polycythemia, anemia, bacterial and viral infections, allergy, and malnutrition. The identification of the latent diseases can help healthcare officials better monitor the subjects’ ongoing health conditions and look into potential risk factors and approaches for disease prevention. We cross-check the reported latent diseases with medical literature and find agreement between our discovery and reported findings elsewhere. We provide an R package “dfa” implementing our method and an R shiny web application reporting the findings.

Local Likelihood Estimation of Complex Tail Dependence Structures, Applied to U.S. Precipitation Extremes

Abstrak : To disentangle the complex nonstationary dependence structure of precipitation extremes over the entire contiguous United States (U.S.), we propose a flexible local approach based on factor copula models. Our subasymptotic spatial modeling framework yields nontrivial tail dependence structures, with a weakening dependence strength as events become more extreme; a feature commonly observed with precipitation data but not accounted for in classical asymptotic extreme-value models. To estimate the local extremal behavior, we fit the proposed model in small regional neighborhoods to high threshold exceedances, under the assumption of local stationarity, which allows us to gain in flexibility. By adopting a local censored likelihood approach, we make inference on a fine spatial grid, and we perform local estimation by taking advantage of distributed computing resources and the embarrassingly parallel nature of this estimation procedure. The local model is efficiently fitted at all grid points, and uncertainty is measured using a block bootstrap procedure. We carry out an extensive simulation study to show that our approach can adequately capture complex, nonstationary dependencies, in addition, our study of U.S. winter precipitation data reveals interesting differences in local tail structures over space, which has important implications on regional risk assessment of extreme precipitation events.

Abstrak : We use ten common macroeconomic variables to test for the predictability of the quarterly growth rate of house price index (HPI) in the United States during 1975:Q1–2018:Q2. We extend the instrumental variable based Wald statistic (IVX-KMS) proposed by Kostakis, Magdalinos, and Stamatogiannis to a new instrumental variable based Wald statistic (IVX-AR) which accounts for serial correlation and heteroscedasticity in the error terms of the linear predictive regression model. Simulation results show that the proposed IVX-AR exhibits excellent size control regardless of the degree of serial correlation in the error terms and the persistency in the predictive variables, while IVX-KMS displays severe size distortions. The empirical results indicate that the percentage of residential fixed investment in GDP is fairly a robust predictor of the growth rate of HPI. However, other macroeconomic variables’ strong predictive ability detected by IVX-KMS is likely to be driven by the highly correlated error terms in the predictive regressions and thus becomes insignificant when the proposed IVX-AR method is implemented. Supplementary materials for this article, including a standardized description of the materials available for reproducing the work, are available as an online supplement.

Bayesian Scalar on Image Regression With Nonignorable Nonresponse

Abstrak : Medical imaging has become an increasingly important tool in screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various diseases given its information visualization and quantitative assessment. The aim of this article is to develop a Bayesian scalar-on-image regression model to integrate high-dimensional imaging data and clinical data to predict cognitive, behavioral, or emotional outcomes, while allowing for nonignorable missing outcomes. Such a nonignorable nonresponse consideration is motivated by examining the association between baseline characteristics and cognitive abilities for 802 Alzheimer patients enrolled in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 1 (ADNI1), for which data are partially missing. Ignoring such missing data may distort the accuracy of statistical inference and provoke misleading results. To address this issue, we propose an imaging exponential tilting model to delineate the data missing mechanism and incorporate an instrumental variable to facilitate model identifiability followed by a Bayesian framework with Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms to conduct statistical inference. This approach is validated in simulation studies where both the finite sample performance and asymptotic properties are evaluated and compared with the model with fully observed data and that with a misspecified ignorable missing mechanism. Our proposed methods are finally carried out on the ADNI1 dataset, which turns out to capture both of those clinical risk factors and imaging regions consistent with the existing literature that exhibits clinical significance.

The Statistical Face of a Region Under Monsoon Rainfall in Eastern India

Abstrak : A region under rainfall is a contiguous spatial area receiving positive precipitation at a particular time. The probabilistic behavior of such a region is an issue of interest in meteorological studies. A region under rainfall can be viewed as a shape object of a special kind, where scale and rotational invariance are not necessarily desirable attributes of a mathematical representation. For modeling variation in objects of this type, we propose an approximation of the boundary that can be represented as a real valued function, and arrive at further approximation through functional principal component analysis, after suitable adjustment for asymmetry and incompleteness in the data. The analysis of an open access satellite dataset on monsoon precipitation over Eastern Indian subcontinent leads to explanation of most of the variation in shapes of the regions under rainfall through a handful of interpretable functions that can be further approximated parametrically. The most important aspect of shape is found to be the size followed by contraction/elongation, mostly along two pairs of orthogonal axes. The different modes of variation are remarkably stable across calendar years and across different thresholds for minimum size of the region. Supplementary materials for this article, including a standardized description of the materials available for reproducing the work, are available as an online supplement.
