Dependence Modeling, 2021 Consider a survival time study, where a sequence of possibly censored failure times is observed with d-dimensional covariate The main goal of this article is to establish the asymptotic normality of the kernel estimator of the relative error regression ...

Decomposition of the total effect for two mediators: A natural mediated interaction effect framework
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 Mediation analysis has been used in many disciplines to explain the mechanism or process that underlies an observed relationship between an exposure variable and an outcome variable via the inclusion of mediators.

Evolutionary trend of SARS-CoV-2 inferred by the homopolymeric nucleotide repeats
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2022 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the current global COVID-19 pandemic, in which millions of lives have been lost.

Attributable fraction and related measures: Conceptual relations in the counterfactual framework
Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 The attributable fraction (population) has attracted much attention from a theoretical perspective and has been used extensively to assess the impact of potential health interventions. However, despite its extensive use, there is much confusion about its

Minimally capturing heterogeneous complier effect of endogenous treatment for any outcome variable
Journal of Causal Inference, 2023 When a binary treatment DD is possibly endogenous, a binary instrument δ\delta is often used to identify the “effect on compliers.” If covariates XX affect both DD and an outcome YY, XX should be controlled to identify the “XX-conditional complier ...

Optimal balancing of time-dependent confounders for marginal structural models
Journal of Causal Inference, 2021 Marginal structural models (MSMs) can be used to estimate the causal effect of a potentially time-varying treatment in the presence of time-dependent confounding via weighted regression.

Optimal weighting for estimating generalized average treatment effects
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 In causal inference, a variety of causal effect estimands have been studied, including the sample, uncensored, target, conditional, optimal subpopulation, and optimal weighted average treatment effects.

Towards Prediction of HCV Therapy Efficiency
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 185-199, 2010., 2010 We investigate a correlation between genetic diversity of hepatitis C virus population and the level of viral RNA accumulation in patient blood. Genetic diversity is defined as the mean Hamming distance between all pairs of virus RNA sequences representing the population. We have found that a low Hamming distance (i.e. low genetic diversity) correlates

Inferences for Joint Modelling of Repeated Ordinal Scores and Time to Event Data
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 281-295, 2010., 2010 In clinical trials and other follow‐up studies, it is natural that a response variable is repeatedly measured during follow‐up and the occurrence of some key event is also monitored. There has been a considerable study on the joint modelling these measures together with information on covariates.
