RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Program evaluations often utilize various matching approaches to emulate the randomization process for group assignment in experimental studies. Typically, the matching strategy is implemented, and then covariate balan...
The Radiology Gamuts Ontology (RGO)-an ontology of diseases, interventions, and imaging findings-was developed to aid in decision support, education, and translational research in diagnostic radiology. The ontology defines a subsumption (is_a) relati...
It is becoming increasingly necessary to develop computerized methods for identifying the few disease-causing variants from hundreds discovered in each individual patient. This problem is especially relevant for Copy Number Variants (CNVs), which can...
OBJECTIVES: Inspired by real-world examples from the forensic medical sciences domain, we seek to determine whether a decision about an interventional action could be subject to amendments on the basis of some incomplete information within the model,...

Granger causality (GC) analysis has emerged as a powerful analytical method for estimating the causal relationship among various types of neural activity data. However, two problems remain not very clear and further researches are needed: (1) The GC ...
In longitudinal observational studies with time-varying confounders, the generalized computation algorithm formula (g-formula) is a principled tool to estimate the average causal effect of a treatment regimen. However, the standard non-iterative g-fo...
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is an increasingly popular framework for the estimation of causal effects. It requires modeling both the exposure and outcome but is doubly robust in the sense that it is valid if at least one of these mo...
When studying the impact of policy interventions or natural experiments on air pollution, such as new environmental policies or the opening or closing of an industrial facility, careful statistical analysis is needed to separate causal changes from o...
