Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Approximate Methods for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Multivariate Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models
Entropy, 2015 Multivariate nonlinear mixed-effects models (MNLMM) have received increasing use due to their flexibility for analyzing multi-outcome longitudinal data following possibly nonlinear profiles.

Stochastic Optimization with Importance Sampling [PDF]
, 2015 Uniform sampling of training data has been commonly used in traditional stochastic optimization algorithms such as Proximal Stochastic Gradient Descent (prox-SGD) and Proximal Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent (prox-SDCA).

, 2005 There arise two problems when the expectation of some function with respect to a nonuniform multivariate distribution has to be computed by (quasi-) Monte Carlo integration: the integrand can have singularities when the domain of the distribution is unbounded and it can be very expensive or even impossible to sample points from a general multivariate ...

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Selection of proposal distributions for generalized importance sampling estimators [PDF]
, 2019 The standard importance sampling (IS) estimator, generally does not work well in examples involving simultaneous inference on several targets as the importance weights can take arbitrarily large values making the estimator highly unstable.

Neural Importance Sampling [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2019 We propose to use deep neural networks for generating samples in Monte Carlo integration. Our work is based on non-linear independent components estimation (NICE), which we extend in numerous ways to improve performance and enable its application to integration problems.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We sought to identify potential early risk biomarkers for lung disease in children post‐allogeneic HCT. Patients with pulmonary function tests 3 months post‐transplant and plasma samples between days 7 and 14 post‐HCT were included. Six of 27 subjects enrolled had reduced forced expiratory volume 1 (FEV1) z scores.

Fully Bayesian Experimental Design for Pharmacokinetic Studies
Entropy, 2015 Utility functions in Bayesian experimental design are usually based on the posterior distribution. When the posterior is found by simulation, it must be sampled from for each future dataset drawn from the prior predictive distribution.
