Urinary tobacco smoke-constituent biomarkers for assessing risk of lung cancer.
Cancer Research, 2014 Tobacco-constituent biomarkers are metabolites of specific compounds present in tobacco or tobacco smoke. Highly reliable analytic methods, based mainly on mass spectrometry, have been developed for quantitation of these biomarkers in both urine and ...

Effect of E-cigarette Use and Social Network on Smoking Behavior Change: An agent-based model of E-cigarette and Cigarette Interaction [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Despite a general reduction in smoking in many areas of the developed world, it remains one of the biggest public health threats. As an alternative to tobacco, the use of electronic cigarettes (ECig) has been increased dramatically over the last decade. ECig use is hypothesized to impact smoking behavior through several pathways, not only as a means of

Efficient Study Design with Multiple Measurement Instruments [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Outcomes from studies assessing exposure often use multiple measurements. In previous work, using a model first proposed by Buonoccorsi (1991), we showed that combining direct (e.g. biomarkers) and indirect (e.g. self-report) measurements provides a more accurate picture of true exposure than estimates obtained when using a single type of measurement ...

Discrete Games in Endogenous Networks: Equilibria and Policy [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In games of friendship links and behaviors, I propose $k$-player Nash stability---a family of equilibria, indexed by a measure of robustness given by the number of permitted link changes, which is (ordinally and cardinally) ranked in a probabilistic sense.
