The prevalence of multimorbidity has been increasing in recent years, posing a major burden for health care delivery and service. Understanding its determinants and impact is proving to be a challenge yet it offers new opportunities for research to g...
We present a general framework for causal mediation analysis using nonparametric Bayesian methods in the potential outcomes framework. Our model, which we refer to as the Bayesian causal mediation forests model, combines recent advances in Bayesian m...
Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are poised to transform society, national defense, and the economy by increasing efficiency, precision, and safety. Yet, widespread adoption within society depends on public trust and willingness to use AI-ena...
In this article we study the effect of a baseline exposure on a terminal time-to-event outcome either directly or mediated by the illness state of a continuous-time illness-death process with baseline covariates. We propose a definition of the corres...
Traditional linear mediation analysis has inherent limitations when it comes to handling high-dimensional mediators. Particularly, accurately estimating and rigorously inferring mediation effects is challenging, primarily due to the intertwined natur...
Smartphone addiction (SA) significantly impacts the physical and mental health of adolescents, and can further exacerbate existing mental health issues in those with depression. However, fewer studies have focused on the predictors of SA in adolescen...
