Small area estimation of proportions with different levels of auxiliary data
Abstract
Binary data are often of interest in many small areas of applications. The use of standard small area estimation methods based on linear mixed models becomes problematic for such data. An empirical plug‐in predictor (EPP) under a unit‐level generalized linear mixed model with logit link function is often used for the estimation of a small area proportion. However, this EPP requires the availability of unit‐level population information for auxiliary data that may not be always accessible. As a consequence, in many practical situations, this EPP approach cannot be applied. Based on the level of auxiliary infor...

Reconstruction of molecular network evolution from cross ‐sectional omics data
Abstract
Cross‐sectional studies may shed light on the evolution of a disease like cancer through the comparison of patient traits among disease stages. This problem is especially challenging when a gene–gene interaction network needs to be reconstructed from omics data, and, in addition, the patients of each stage need not form a homogeneous group. Here, the problem is operationalized as the estimation of stage‐wise mixtures of Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) from high‐dimensional data. These mixtures are fitted by a (fused) ridge penalized EM algorithm. The fused ridge penalty shrinks GGMs of contiguous stages. ...

Modeling time ‐varying exposure using inverse probability of treatment weights
In this study, patients received one or multiple medications (thiopurines, methotrexate, and anti‐TNF) over time. We used a Cox marginal structural model to assess the effect of thiopurines exposure on the cause‐specific hazard for cancer incidence considering other treatments as confounding factors. To this end, we used our extended function which is available online in the Supporting Information. (Source: Biometrical Journal)
