A Quantitative Concordance Measure for Comparing and Combining Treatment Selection Markers.
Motivated by an HIV example, we consider how to compare and combine treatment selection markers, which are essential to the notion of precision medicine. The current literature on precision medicine is focused on evaluating and optimizing treatment regimes, which can be obtained by dichotomizing treatment selection markers. In practice, treatment decisions are based not only on efficacy but als...
متن کاملConcordance Measure-based Feature Screening and Variable Selection
The C-statistic, measuring the rank concordance between predictors and outcomes, has become a standard metric of predictive accuracy and is therefore a natural criterion for variable screening and selection. However, as the C-statistic is a step function, its optimization requires brute-force search, prohibiting its direct usage in the presence of high-dimensional predictors. We develop a smoot...
متن کاملA Divergence Measure for Combining Super-Efficiency Scores in Performance Measurement of Two-Stage Production Systems
In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) internal sub-processes of the production units are ignored. The current paper develops a network-DEA super-efficiency model to compare the performance of efficient network systems. A new ranking method is developed by aggregating the computed super-efficiency scores with a J-divergence measure. The proposed approach is then applied to evaluate...
متن کاملA System for Automating Concordance Line Selection
This paper argues that as the number of concordance lines presented to researchers increases in line with ever-growing corpus size, the automatic selection of the most central lines will become more important. A method will be presented for selecting the most representative members from a set of concordance lines on the basis of repeated lexical features. This follows from previous work on lexi...
متن کاملA New S-test for Haplotype Analysis: Concordance and Discordance
A new test of inheritance, S, is proposed, which uses information from affected as well as unaffected siblings in the fam­ ily. The siblings are analyzed in terms of similarities of haplotypes. The distribution of the proposed S­test is derived under the null hypothesis of random inheritance. Mean and variance are obtained for the distribution. The test is then applied to data sets publ...
