Detecting univariate, bivariate, and overall effects of drug mixtures using Bayesian kernel machine regression. [PDF]
Background: Innovative analytic approaches to drug studies are needed to understand better the co-use of opioids with non-opioids among people using illicit drugs. One approach is the Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), widely applied in environmental epidemiology to study exposure mixtures but has received far less attention in substance use ...

Advanced Bayesian kernel machine regression for large-scale exposome studies: Making the impossible possible. [PDF]
Exposome studies involve analyzing numerous exposures with complex interactions and potential collinearity, presenting challenges for conventional statistical methods. While Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) has emerged as a promising solution, its widespread adoption has been hindered by high computational costs and restricted interpretability.

Bayesian kernel machine regression for estimating the health effects of multi-pollutant mixtures. [PDF]
Because humans are invariably exposed to complex chemical mixtures, estimating the health effects of multi-pollutant exposures is of critical concern in environmental epidemiology, and to regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

mgpr: An R package for multivariate Gaussian process regression
Gaussian process regression (GPR) is a non-parametric kernel-based machine learning method. GPR is based on Bayesian formalism, which enables the estimation of prediction uncertainty of the response variables.

Prenatal Metal Concentrations and Childhood Cardiometabolic Risk Using Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression to Assess Mixture and Interaction Effects. [PDF]
Background: Trace metal concentrations may affect cardiometabolic risk, but the role of prenatal exposure is unclear. We examined (1) the relation between blood metal concentrations during pregnancy and child cardiometabolic risk factors; (2) overall effects of metals mixture (essential vs.

An orthogonal forward regression technique for sparse kernel density estimation [PDF]
Using the classical Parzen window (PW) estimate as the desired response, the kernel density estimation is formulated as a regression problem and the orthogonal forward regression technique is adopted to construct sparse kernel density (SKD) estimates ...

Prenatal exposure to metal mixture and birth weight; a Bayesian kernel machine regression analysis of two cohort studies in Japan and Iran. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Potentially toxic metals can directly induce various adverse effects on reproductive organs or interrupt essential metals' physiological activities. Despite intensive efforts to reduce these metals in the environment, chronic and low-level exposure remains a public health problem.
