Uncovering and Displaying the Coherent Groups of Rank Data by Exploratory Riffle Shuffling [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Let n respondents rank order d items, and suppose that d << n. Our main task is to uncover and display the structure of the observed rank data by an exploratory riffle shuffling procedure which sequentially decomposes the n voters into a finite number of coherent groups plus a noisy group : where the noisy group represents the outlier voters and each ...

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Countertransference in Swedish psychotherapists: testing the factor structure of the Therapist Response Questionnaire

Research in Psychotherapy, 2019
Questionnaires need testing of reliability and factor structure before clinical use or research in new languages or cultures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Therapist Response Questionnaire (TRQ) in Sweden compared to corresponding factor ...

Translation and Validation of the Nomophobia Questionnaire in the Italian Language: Exploratory Factor Analysis

JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2018
Background Nomophobia, which is a neologism derived from the combination of “no mobile,” “phone,” and “phobia” is considered to be a modern situational phobia and indicates a fear of feeling disconnected. Objective No psychometric scales are available in

What is Rotating in Exploratory Factor Analysis? [PDF]

, 2019
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is one of the most commonly-reported quantitative methodology in the social sciences, yet much of the detail regarding what happens during an EFA remains unclear. The goal of this brief technical note is to explore what

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

GFA: Exploratory Analysis of Multiple Data Sources with Group Factor Analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The R package GFA provides a full pipeline for factor analysis of multiple data sources that are represented as matrices with co-occurring samples. It allows learning dependencies between subsets of the data sources, decomposed into latent factors. The package also implements sparse priors for the factorization, providing interpretable biclusters of ...

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Exploratory Analysis of High Dimensional Time Series with Applications to Multichannel Electroencephalograms [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In this paper, we address the the major hurdle of high dimensionality in EEG analysis by extracting the optimal lower dimensional representations. Using our approach, connectivity between regions in a high-dimensional brain network is characterized through the connectivity between region-specific factors.
