Rank reduction of correlation matrices by majorization

open access: yes
In this paper a novel method is developed for the problem of finding a low-rank correlation matrix nearest to a given correlation matrix. The method is based on majorization and therefore it is globally convergent. The method is computationally efficient,

Rank similarity based MADM method selection

open access: yes, 2012
Selecting the most suitable Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method for a given MADM problem is a challenge for the decision maker. When there are several suitable MADM methods available for the problem, the challenge is even greater. We present

A Novel Nonconvex Penalty Method for a Rank Constrained Matrix Optimization Problem and its Applications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
The rank constrained nonconvex nonsmooth matrix optimization problem is an important and challenging issue. To solve it, we first design a penalty model in which the penalty term can be expressed as a sum of specific functions defined on smallest ...

High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

On Sampling Complexity of the Semidefinite Affine Rank Feasibility Problem

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper, we study the semidefinite affine rank feasibility problem, which consists in finding a positive semidefinite matrix of a given rank from its linear measurements.

A review on ranking problems in statistical learning

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
Ranking problems, also known as preference learning problems, define a widely spread class of statistical learning problems with many applications, including fraud detection, document ranking, medicine, credit risk screening, image ranking or media memorability. In this article, we systematically review different types of instance ranking problems, i.e.

Real‐World Longitudinal Data on the Impact of Hydroxychloroquine Blood Level Monitoring on Lupus Outcomes: Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cornerstone therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the weight‐based dosing does not account for clinical factors that can introduce individual variability in drug metabolism and clearance. We leveraged longitudinal data from a prospective SLE cohort to identify clinical factors that predict ...
