Computer Modeling of Radiation Effects
Data Science Journal, 2007 Biological effects of low-dose radiation are studied by computational methods. Assessing the risks of low-dose radiation, i.e. radiation-induced cancer, is becoming important in the study of public health because of the many different types of exposures,

, 2017 Economic evaluation of healthcare programs seeks to compare treatments and preventive measures in terms of their efficiency, that is, their ability to generate health and well-being relative to the costs incurred. This chapter provides an introduction to one particular but widely used evaluation technique: cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA).

Analysis and correction of crosstalk effects in pathway analysis [PDF]
Genome Research, 2013 Identifying the pathways that are significantly impacted in a given condition is a crucial step in understanding the underlying biological phenomena. All approaches currently available for this purpose calculate a P-value that aims to quantify the significance of the involvement of each pathway in the given phenotype.

Individualized Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
PLoS Medicine, 2011 John Ioannidis and Alan Garber discuss how to use incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) and related metrics so they can be useful for decision-making at the individual level, whether used by clinicians or individual patients.

Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis [PDF]
Medical Decision Making, 2015 Distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) is a framework for incorporating health inequality concerns into the economic evaluation of health sector interventions. In this tutorial, we describe the technical details of how to conduct DCEA, using an illustrative example comparing alternative ways of implementing the National Health Service (NHS ...

The effect of negation on sentiment analysis and retrieval effectiveness [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th ACM conference on Information and knowledge management, 2009 We investigate the problem of determining the polarity of sentiments when one or more occurrences of a negation term such as "not" appear in a sentence. The concept of the scope of a negation term is introduced. By using a parse tree and typed dependencies generated by a parser and special rules proposed by us, we provide a procedure to identify the ...
