Since identifying relations between chemicals and diseases (CDR) are important for biomedical research and healthcare, the challenge proposed by BioCreative V requires automatically mining causal relationships between chemicals and diseases which may...
Statistical methods in medical research

Data-adaptive methods have been proposed to estimate nuisance parameters when using doubly robust semiparametric methods for estimating marginal causal effects. However, in the presence of near practical positivity violations, these methods can produ...
Understanding genetic mechanism of complex diseases is a serious challenge. Existing methods often neglect the heterogeneity phenomenon of complex diseases, resulting in lack of power or low reproducibility. Addressing heterogeneity when detecting ep...

In recent years, there has been numerous studies constructing a disease network with diverse sources of data. Many researchers attempted to extend the usage of the disease network by employing machine learning algorithms on various problems such as p...
Artificial intelligence (AI) broadly refers to analytical algorithms that iteratively learn from data, allowing computers to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look. These include a family of operations encompassing sev...
The digital world is generating data at a staggering and still increasing rate. While these "big data" have unlocked novel opportunities to understand public health, they hold still greater potential for research and practice. This review explores se...
Causal inference practitioners are routinely presented with the challenge of model selection and, in particular, reducing the size of the covariate set with the goal of improving estimation efficiency. Collaborative targeted minimum loss-based estima...
Estimation of causal effects using observational data continues to grow in popularity in the epidemiologic literature. While many applications of causal effect estimation use propensity score methods or G-computation, targeted maximum likelihood esti...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims at developing and introducing a new algorithm, called direct causal learner (DCL), for learning the direct causal influences of a single target. We applied it to both simulated and real clinical and genome wide association ...
