Biostatistics: Revealing analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
David Alexander's job didn't exist ten years ago. He works for Pacific Biosciences in Menlo Park, California, writing software that can analyse the data generated by DNA polymerase enzymes, which sequence DNA in real time. A decade ago, it took scientists weeks to sequence DNA, one base at a time, using a seemingly endless series of reactions. Back then, they also thought that they would be able to find the roots of major diseases just by identifying the common genetic variants shared by affected individuals.

Estimating incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and their confidence intervals with different terminating events for survival time and costs.
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is an important component of the economic evaluation of new treatment options. In many clinical and observational studies of costs, censored data pose challenges to the CEA. We consider a special situation where the terminating events for the survival time and costs are different. Traditional methods for statistical inference offer no means for dealing with cen...
متن کاملA fully Bayesian latent variable model for integrative clustering analysis of multi-type omics data.
Identification of clinically relevant tumor subtypes and omics signatures is an important task in cancer translational research for precision medicine. Large-scale genomic profiling studies such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network have generated vast amounts of genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic data. While these studies have provided great resources for researche...
متن کاملBiometrics Based Secret Sharing Using Fuzzy Vault
In this paper a method for the biometric based secret sharing problem using the fuzzy vault construct is described. The secret is protected using the biometric data of the sharing parties, revealing a secret when a predetermined number of the sharing parties collaborate. The distinction between biometric cryptosystems is discussed. The basic idea of the fuzzy vault scheme is discussed. Finally ...

متن کاملHigh-dimensional, massive sample-size Cox proportional hazards regression for survival analysis.
Survival analysis endures as an old, yet active research field with applications that spread across many domains. Continuing improvements in data acquisition techniques pose constant challenges in applying existing survival analysis methods to these emerging data sets. In this paper, we present tools for fitting regularized Cox survival analysis models on high-dimensional, massive sample-size (...
