Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to examine the bootstrap and jackknife as methods for estimating the variance of the AUC from a study using a complex sampling design and to determine which characteristics of the sampling design effects this estimation. Data from a one-stage cluster sampling design of 10 clusters was examined. Factors included three true AUCs (.60, .75, and .90), three prevalence levels (50/50, 70/30, 90/10) (non-disease/disease), and finally three number of clusters sampled (2, 5, or 7). A simulated sample was constructed for each of the 27 combinations of AUC, prevalence

Abstract:

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy is a sensitive method for detecting difference in the morphology of biological cells. In this study FTIR spectra were obtained for uninfected cells, and cells infected with two different viruses. The spectra obtained are difficult to discriminate visually. Here we apply advanced statistical methods to the analysis of the spectra, to test if such spectra are useful for diagnosing viral infections in cells. Logistic Regression (LR) and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) were used to build models which allow us to diagnose if spectral differences

Abstract:

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, one method of electromagnetic radiation for detecting specific cellular molecular structure, can be used to discriminate different types of cells. The objective is to find the minimum time (choice among 2 hour, 4 hour and 6 hour) to record FTIR readings such that different viruses can be discriminated. A new method is adopted for the datasets. Briefly, inner differences are created as the control group, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is used as the first selecting variable procedure in order to prepare the next stage of discrimination.

Abstract:

In the medical literature, there has been an increased interest in evaluating association between exposure and outcomes using nonrandomized observational studies. However, because assignments to exposure are not done randomly in observational studies, comparisons of outcomes between exposed and non-exposed subjects must account for the effect of confounders. Propensity score methods have been widely used to control for confounding, when estimating exposure effect. Previous studies have shown that conditioning on the propensity score results in biased estimation of odds ratio and hazard ratio.

Cervical Cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide (500,000 cases/year) and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women in developing countries (230,000 cases/year). The Spectrx LightTouch™ device uses light to detect chemical and structural changes in cervical tissue. Light responds differently when exposed to normal cells and cancerous cells. The purpose of this research is to find the best model that can be used to diagnose the early cervical cancerous conditions. To achieve this goal, we first tried to reduce the number of variables.

Abstract:

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are widely used in medical decision making. It was recognized in the last decade that only a specific region of the ROC curve is of clinical interest, which can be summarized by the partial area under the ROC curve (partial AUC). Early statistical methods for evaluating partial AUC assume that the data are from a specified underlying distribution. Nonparametric estimators of the partial AUC emerged recently, but there are theoretical issues to be addressed. In this dissertation, we propose two new nonparametric statistics, partially integrated ROC

Abstract:

A new type of space debris was recently discovered by Schildknecht in near -geosynchronous orbit (GEO). These objects were later identified as exhibiting properties associated with High Area-to-Mass ratio (HAMR) objects. According to their brightness magnitudes (light curve), high rotation rates and composition properties (albedo, amount of specular and diffuse reflection, colour, etc), it is thought that these objects are multilayer insulation (MLI). Observations have shown that this debris type is very sensitive to environmental disturbances, particularly solar radiation pressure, due to the

Abstract:

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves is a popular tool for evaluating continuous diagnostic tests. The traditional definition of ROC curves incorporates implicitly the idea of "hard" thresholding, which also results in the empirical curves being step functions. The first topic is to introduce a novel definition of soft ROC curves, which incorporates the idea of "soft" thresholding. The softness of a soft ROC curve is controlled by a regularization parameter that can be selected suitably by a cross-validation procedure. A byproduct of the soft ROC curves is that the corresponding

Abstract:

The ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve is a projection of two different cumulative distribution functions F0 and F1. On axis are values 1-F0(c) and 1-F1(c). The c-parameter is a real number. This curve is useful to check quality of discriminant rule which classify an object to one of two classes. The criterion is a size of an area under the curve. To solve real problems we use point and interval estimation of ROC curves and statistical hypothesis tests about ROC curves.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>統計研究所<br>100<br>In this paper, we consider testing the non-inferiority of two medical diagnostic methods in a case-control study where each subject receiving the two different diagnostics produces correlated paired measurements. Note that it occurs often in practice that the marginal distributions of the measurements are right-skewed. Therefore, we first apply the power transformation to the paired data so that they would behave like the bivariate normal data. One parametric non-inferiority test is then implemented based on the transformed data. On the other hand, we suggest an

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>統計學系碩博士班<br>92<br>In recent years, for ROC curve, more and more issues have focused on the equivalence/non-inferiority test, e.g. in comparing diagnostic efficacy of a non-invasive alternative diagnostic (test) procedure to an invasive (reference) method. If the diagnostic accuracy of the non-invasive alternative procedure is equivalent to the invasive method, we may replace the invasive procedure by the non-invasive alternative diagnostic procedure because of its easy administration, its better safety profile or its reduced cost. In this paper, we compare the equivalence/non-i

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>統計學系<br>106<br>The ROC (Receiver operating characteristic) curve is a measure for evaluating diagnostic reagents. The AUC (area under the ROC curve) is one of the most popular indices to evaluate the accuracy of the diagnostic reagents. X-ray films or MRI scans are often used to evaluate the status of cancer patients. Nevertheless, the outcome of these instruments requires professional physicians to determine. To ensure the accuracy of the instrument and avoid the possibility of reading bias from physicians, the outcome of these instruments is evaluated by several professional

Abstract:

This study developed a limited sampling strategy (LSS) to provide an estimate of cyclosporine (Neoral®) area-under-the-curve (AUC) in lung transplant recipients, a population for which a cyclosporine LSS has not yet been delineated. The predictive performance of the LSS, and other published ..LSS in other transplant types, was evaluated. Finally, the pharmacokinetic parameters of the lung transplant patients were calculated. Fourteen stable lung transplant patients (n = 7 male; n = 7 female) were entered into the study. Upon administration of a steady-state morning cyclosporine dose, blo

The damage extent of artificial teeth is relatively different. First, use a microscope to magnify 400 times to observe their slight changes on surfaces. The contact phenomena of teeth occlusion include single-point contact (incisors) and multipoint contact (molars and premolars). Ultrasonic wave technology can research the contact area.

Abstract:

The collection of crop yield data has become much easier with the introduction of technologies such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), ground-based yield sensors, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This explosive growth and widespread use of spatial data has challenged the ability to derive useful spatial knowledge. In addition, outlier detection as one important pre-processing step remains a challenge because the technique and the definition of spatial neighbourhood remain non-trivial, and the quantitative assessments of false positives, false negatives, and the concept of region

Abstract:

abstract: The attractiveness of a reward depends in part on the delay to its receipt, with more distant rewards generally being valued less than more proximate ones. The rate at which people discount the value of delayed rewards has been associated with a variety of clinically and socially relevant human behaviors. Thus, the accurate measurement of delay discounting rates is crucial to the study of mechanisms underlying behaviors such as risky sex, addiction, and gambling. In delay discounting tasks, participants make choices between two alternatives: one small amount of money delivered immedi

yes<br>Drug vehicles are chemical carriers that provide beneficial aid to the drugs they bear. Taking advantage of their favourable properties can potentially allow the safer use of drugs that are considered highly toxic. A means for vehicle selection without experimental trial would therefore be of benefit in saving time and money for the industry. Although machine learning is increasingly used in predictive toxicology, to our knowledge there is no reported work in using machine learning techniques to model drug-vehicle relationships for vehicle selection to minimise toxicity.

Abstract:

Equi-caloric bouts of interval (INT: 5x 2:2 min at 85 and 40% VO2max) and continuous (21 minutes at 60% VO2max) exercise were performed by 13 older prehypertensive males on separate days, at equivalent times of day, to assess the influence of exercise mode on post-exercise hypotension (PEH). Cardiovascular measures were collected for 30 min pre and 60 min post-exercise. PEH as measured by mean post-exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) decrease, area under the SBP curve, and minimum SBP achieved, was equivalent after both conditions.
