BACKGROUND: Large Language Models (LLMs) hold promise in enhancing psychiatric research efficiency. However, concerns related to bias, computational demands, data privacy, and the reliability of LLM-generated content pose challenges. GAP: Existing st...
The test-negative design (TND), which is routinely used for monitoring seasonal flu vaccine effectiveness (VE), has recently become integral to COVID-19 vaccine surveillance, notably in Québec, Canada. Some studies have addressed the identifiability ...
Dietary intake data are routinely drawn upon to explore diet-health relationships, and inform clinical practice and public health. However, these data are almost always subject to measurement error, distorting true diet-health relationships. Beyond m...
Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most popular classification algorithms in the machine learning literature. We demonstrate that SVM can be used to balance covariates and estimate average causal effects under the unconfoundedness assumption....

In low-income and resource-limited countries, distinguishing COVID-19 from other respiratory diseases is challenging due to similar symptoms and the prevalence of comorbidities. In Yemen, acute comorbidities further complicate the differentiation bet...
INTRODUCTION: Risk prediction models are increasingly used in healthcare to aid in clinical decision-making. In most clinical contexts, model calibration (i.e., assessing the reliability of risk estimates) is critical. Data available for model develo...
Rates of transcription elongation vary within and across eukaryotic gene bodies. Here, we introduce new methods for predicting elongation rates from nascent RNA sequencing data. First, we devise a probabilistic model that predicts nucleotide-specific...
Heterogeneous treatment effect estimation is an important problem in precision medicine. Specific interests lie in identifying the differential effect of different treatments based on some external covariates. We propose a novel non-parametric treatm...
Distracted Driving (DD) is one of the global causes of high mortality and fatality in road traffic accidents. The increase in the number of distracted driving accidents (DDAs) is one of the concerns among transportation communities. The present study...
PURPOSE: We aim to evaluate various proxy selection methods within the context of high-dimensional propensity score (hdPS) analysis. This study aimed to systematically evaluate and compare the performance of traditional statistical methods and machin...
