Measurements of breast density: no ratio for a ratio.
Breast density, as visible on mammograms, is generally assessed as the occupied percentage of the breast and is a risk factor for breast cancer. Various studies have looked into the causation and alteration of relative density but the relation of a determinant with a relative measure does not allow a direct etiologic interpretation. It was our goal to compare the effects of known determinants o...
متن کاملIn situ measurements of the NO / NO ratio for testing atmospheric photochemical models
Simultaneous in situ measurements of NO 2, NO, 03, C10, pressure and temperature have been made for the first time, presenting a unique opportunity to test our current understanding of the photochemistry of the lower stratosphere. Data were collected from several flights of the ER-2 aircraft at mid-latitudes in May 1993 during NASA's Stratospheric Photochemistry, Aerosols and Dynamics Expeditio...
متن کاملDiscriminative Density-ratio Estimation
The covariate shift is a challenging problem in supervised learning that results from the discrepancy between the training and test distributions. An effective approach which recently drew a considerable attention in the research community is to reweight the training samples to minimize that discrepancy. In specific, many methods are based on developing Density-ratio (DR) estimation techniques ...
متن کاملDragging: Density-Ratio Bagging
We propose density-ratio bagging (dragging), a semi-supervised extension of bootstrap aggregation (bagging) method. Additional unlabeled training data are used to calculate the weight on each labeled training point by a density-ratio estimator. The weight is then used to construct a weighted labeled empirical distribution, from which bags of bootstrap samples are drawn. Asymptotically, dragging...
متن کاملDensity-ratio matching under the Bregman divergence: a unified framework of density-ratio estimation
Estimation of the ratio of probability densities has attracted a great deal of attention since it can be used for addressing various statistical paradigms. A naive approach to density-ratio approximation is to first estimate numerator and denominator densities separately and then take their ratio. However, this two-step approach does not perform well in practice, and methods for directly estima...
