Evaluating the effects of rater and subject factors on measures of association
Abstract Large‐scale agreement studies are becoming increasingly common in medical settings to gain better insight into discrepancies often observed between experts' classifications. Ordered categorical scales are routinely used to classify subjects' disease and health conditions. Summary measures such as Cohen's weighted kappa are popular approaches for reporting levels of association for pairs of raters' ordinal classifications. However, in large‐scale studies with many raters, assessing levels of association can be challenging due to dependencies between many raters each grading the same sample of subjects' results ...

Hypothesis tests for stratified mark ‐specific proportional hazards models with missing covariates, with application to HIV vaccine efficacy trials
This article develops hypothesis testing procedures for the stratified mark‐specific proportional hazards model with missing covariates where the baseline functions may vary with strata. The mark‐specific proportional hazards model has been studied to evaluate mark‐specific relative risks where the mark is the genetic distance of an infecting HIV sequence to an HIV sequence represented inside the vaccine. This research is motivated by analyzing the RV144 phase 3 HIV vaccine efficacy trial, to understand associations of immune response biomarkers on the mark‐specific hazard of HIV infection, where the biomarkers are...

Bayesian nonparametric inference for panel count data with an informative observation process
Abstract In this paper, the panel count data analysis for recurrent events is considered. Such analysis is useful for studying tumor or infection recurrences in both clinical trial and observational studies. A bivariate Gaussian Cox process model is proposed to jointly model the observation process and the recurrent event process. Bayesian nonparametric inference is proposed for simultaneously estimating regression parameters, bivariate frailty effects, and baseline intensity functions. Inference is done through Markov chain Monte Carlo, with fully developed computational techniques. Predictive inference is also discussed ...
