Classification on Large Networks: A Quantitative Bound via Motifs and Graphons [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
When each data point is a large graph, graph statistics such as densities of certain subgraphs (motifs) can be used as feature vectors for machine learning. While intuitive, motif counts are expensive to compute and difficult to work with theoretically. Via graphon theory, we give an explicit quantitative bound for the ability of motif homomorphisms to

Visual Analytics of Group Differences in Tensor Fields: Application to Clinical DTI [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We present a visual analytics system for exploring group differences in tensor fields with respect to all six degrees of freedom that are inherent in symmetric second-order tensors. Our framework closely integrates quantitative analysis, based on multivariate hypothesis testing and spatial cluster enhancement, with suitable visualization tools that ...

Immunofluorescence profile of discoid lupus erythematosus

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2015
The direct immunofluorescence (DIF) of skin in conjunction with histopathology gives the best diagnostic yield. It is invaluable in confirming the diagnosis of small vessel vasculitides and bullous lesions of the skin and can be used as an additional tool to pinpoint the diagnosis of systemic and localized autoimmune diseases involving the skin.

Employing latent variable models to improve efficiency in composite endpoint analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Composite endpoints that combine multiple outcomes on different scales are common in clinical trials, particularly in chronic conditions. In many of these cases, patients will have to cross a predefined responder threshold in each of the outcomes to be classed as a responder overall.
