报告摘要
Prediction modeling for clinical decision making is of great importance and needed to be updated frequently with the changes of patient population and clinical practice. Existing methods are either done in an ad hoc fashion, such as model recalibration or focus on studying the relationship between predictors and outcome and less so for the purpose of prediction. In this article, we propose a dynamic logistic state space model to continuously update the parameters whenever new information becomes available. The proposed model allows for both time-varying and time-invariant coefficients. The varying coefficients are modeled using smoothing splines to account for their smooth trends over time. The smoothing parameters are objectively chosen by maximum likelihood. The model is updated using batch data accumulated at prespecified time intervals, which allows for better approximation of the underlying binomial density function. In the simulation, we show that the new model has significantly higher prediction accuracy compared to existing methods. We apply the method to predict 1 year survival after lung transplantation using the United Network for Organ Sharing data.

Dr. Zhonghua Liu is currently assistant professor of biostatistics at Columbia University since August 2022. His current research interests include causal inference, machine learning and their applications. Dr. Liu obtained his doctorate in biostatistics from Harvard University in 2015 and later spent about two years on Wall Street as a quantitative strategist. He was an assistant professor of statistics at The University of Hong Kong from 2018 to 2022.
报告摘要
The instrumental variable method is widely used in the health and social sciences for identification and estimation of causal effects in the presence of potential unmeasured confounding. To improve efficiency, multiple instruments are routinely used, raising concerns about bias due to possible violation of the instrumental variable assumptions. To address such concerns, we introduce a new class of G-estimators that are guaranteed to remain consistent and asymptotically normal for the causal effect of interest provided that a set of at least γ out of K candidate instruments are valid, for γ⩽K set by the analyst ex ante without necessarily knowing the identities of the valid and invalid instruments. We provide formal semiparametric efficiency theory supporting our results. Simulation studies and applications to UK Biobank data demonstrate the superior empirical performance of the proposed estimators compared with competing methods.

报告摘要
Factor models have been extensively employed in high-dimensional time series. However, little is known for the case with sparse loading matrix. This paper introduces a sparse factor model with an easy-to-implement estimation method, aiming to enhance interpretability and relax the constraints on the dimension p of the time series. Different from the classical factor model, where p could not be larger than square root of the sample size n for consistency, we allow p increasing with the sparseness and even larger than n. Under regular conditions, the loading space could be consistently estimated. In addition, a randomized sequential test is introduced to determine the number of sparse factors. Simulations and real data analysis on sea surface air pressure and stock portfolios are also provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.
