Statistical methods for knowledge discovery in adverse drug reaction surveillance Statistical methods for knowledge discovery in adverse drug reaction surveillance
Collections of individual case safety reports are the main resource for early discovery of unknown adverse reactions to drugs once they have been introduced to the general public. The data sets involved are complex and based on voluntary submission of reports, but contain pieces of very important information. The aim of this thesis is to propose computationally feasible statistical methods for ...
متن کاملStatistical methods for healthcare regulation: rating, screening and surveillance
Current demand for accountability and efficiency of healthcare organizations, combined with the greater availability of routine data on clinical care and outcomes, has led to an increased focus on statistical methods in healthcare regulation.We consider three different regulatory functions in which statistical analysis plays a vital role: rating organizations, deciding whom to inspect and conti...
متن کاملStatistical methods in modeling disease surveillance data with misclassification
This thesis consists of three projects focusing on constructing appropriate statistical models to monitor the dynamics of disease transmission in animal disease surveillance system. One big challenge in analyzing such disease surveillance data is that the diagnostic tests are usually known to have imperfect sensitivity and specificity, thus the observations are usually misclassified, which intr...
متن کاملOptimality and Robustness in Statistical Forecasting
Statistical forecasts are based only in part upon the observations; an equally important base is formed by prior assumptions, i.e. by hypothetical models of data. In practice, however, the classical hypothetical models are usually distorted. Unfortunately, the traditionally used “optimal” statistical procedures, which minimize the mean square risk of forecasting under hypothetical models, lose ...
متن کاملOptimality guarantees for distributed statistical estimation
Large data sets often require performing distributed statistical estimation, with a full data set split across multiple machines and limited communication between machines. To study such scenarios, we define and study some refinements of the classical minimax risk that apply to distributed settings, comparing to the performance of estimators with access to the entire data. Lower bounds on these...
