Log-Contrast Regression with Functional Compositional Predictors: Linking Preterm Infant's Gut Microbiome Trajectories to Neurobehavioral Outcome [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience is known to be one of the most crucial factors that drive preterm infant's neurodevelopmental and health outcomes. It is hypothesized that stressful early life experience of very preterm neonate is imprinting gut microbiome by the regulation of the so-called brain-gut axis, and consequently, certain ...

Preterm Birth Prediction: Deriving Stable and Interpretable Rules from High Dimensional Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Preterm births occur at an alarming rate of 10-15%. Preemies have a higher risk of infant mortality, developmental retardation and long-term disabilities. Predicting preterm birth is difficult, even for the most experienced clinicians. The most well-designed clinical study thus far reaches a modest sensitivity of 18.2-24.2% at specificity of 28.6-33.3%.
