Disentangling genetic and environmental risk factors for individual diseases from multiplex comorbidity networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Most disorders are caused by a combination of multiple genetic and/or environmental factors. If two diseases are caused by the same molecular mechanism, they tend to co-occur in patients. Here we provide a quantitative method to disentangle how much genetic or environmental risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of 358 individual diseases ...

Mixed-Mean Inequality for Submatrix [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 For a $m\times n$ matrix $B=(b_{ij})_{m\times n}$ with nonnegative entries $b_{ij}$ and any $k\times l-$submatrix $B_{ij}$ of $B$, let $a_{B_{ij}}$ and $g_{B_{ij}}$ denote the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of elements of $B_{ij}$ respectively. It is proved that if $k$ is an integer in $(\frac{m}{2}, m]$ and $l$ is an integer in $(\frac{n}{2}, n ...

Causal Networks of Infodemiological Data: Modelling Dermatitis [PDF]
arXivEnvironmental and mental conditions are known risk factors for dermatitis and symptoms of skin inflammation, but their interplay is difficult to quantify; epidemiological studies rarely include both, along with possible confounding factors. Infodemiology leverages large online data sets to address this issue, but fusing them produces strong patterns of

$d$-Degree Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for finite vector spaces [PDF]
arXivLet $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and let $\left[V\atop k\right]_q$ denote the family of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$. A family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \left[V\atop k\right]_q$ is called intersecting if for all $F$, $F'\in\mathcal{F}$, we have ${\rm dim}$$(F\cap F')\geq 1$.

Inferring Skin-Brain-Skin Connections from Infodemiology Data using Dynamic Bayesian Networks [PDF]
Scientific Reports (2024), 14, 10266The relationship between skin diseases and mental illnesses has been extensively studied using cross-sectional epidemiological data. Typically, such data can only measure association (rather than causation) and include only a subset of the diseases we may be interested in.
