Kamruzzaman\, PhD \nAssociate Professor\, Jagannath Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, Email: kzaman1@isrt.ac.bd \n  \nAbstract: \nSeveral statistical methods for pathway analysis have been developed to test the association between pathways and phenotypes of interest. Since pathways are highly correlated\, a hierarchical structural component models (HisCoM) was developed to analyze all pathways in a single model and take into consideration their correlation. HisCoM was originally developed to analyze a single phenotype using only one measurement per individual. Later\, it was extended to analyze multiple phenotypes (HisCoM-multi) and longitudinal phenotypes (HisCoM-GEE). These methods have been used to analyze continuous\, counts\, and binary phenotypes from cross-sectional\, clustered\, and longitudinal studies. In this study\, we propose a hierarchical structural component model for pathway analysis of longitudinal categorical phenotypes (HisCoM-RCateg). HisCoM-RCateg is proposed by combining the hierarchical structural component model and generalized estimating equations for correlated categorical phenotypes. HisCoM-RCateg accounts for the biological hierarchy of all biomarkers and pathways into a single model. In the simulation\, the proposed HisCoM-RCateg appeared to have high power than other existing methods and effectively controlled type I error for longitudinal multinomial phenotypes. To demonstrate the performance\, we also applied HiscoM-RCateg to two distinct types of longitudinal omics data\, namely the metabolite dataset and the metagenome dataset.

Guidelines clearly discuss the appropriate design and analysis in testing the linearity of an MS when the data is Gaussian distributed but not for count data. This talk addresses how linearity is tested and the corresponding optimal design for testing linearity for Poisson data. \n  \nPresenter: \nDr. Abu Manju\nAssociate Director Statistics\nCenter for Mathematical Science (CMS)\,\nOrganon\, Oss\, the Netherlands \nAssistant Professor \nWittenborg Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Applied Science\, Appeldorn\, the Netherlands URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/applied-statistics-and-data-science-seminar-on-august-7-on-testing-linearity-in-rapid-microbiological-method-validation/ CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230724T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230724T150000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20230718T040215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230718T112121Z UID:5867-1690207200-1690210800@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:Seminar on “Data Science Product Development In the (AWS) Cloud” at 2 pm on July 24\, 2023 DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sheikh Samsuzzhan Alam\, Senior Data Science Developer for Operation\, Novartis Pharma\, Czech Republic \nVenue: ISRT seminar room \nDate and time: 2 pm on Monday\, 24 July 2023 \nTitle: Data Science Product Development In the (AWS) Cloud \nAbstract: Customer-facing software products are complex in nature and usually developed by multiple teams of engineers. On the other hand\, software products build for internal business teams such as finance\, marketing\, human resources\, etc. are domain-specific and small user group focused. Providing data science solutions as software services for internal business teams with full-stack developer teams can have high development costs. Businesses might fall back or hesitate to build such products due to high maintenance and developer cost. Hence in My presentation\, I would like to showcase how a Data Scientist can wear many hats and provide a full-stack data science solution\, which is easily maintainable\, reusable\, and cost-effective at least from the development point of view due to its Cloud Native nature. In my presentation\, I would like to demonstrate a real-world use case I have implemented using AWS services such as Sagemaker\, Lambda\, API gateway\, S3\, and DynamoDB with Python SDKs to develop a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application for internal business use.

The contact interval in the pair ij is the time from the onset of infectiousness in i to infectious contact from i to j\, where an infectious contact is sufficient to infect j if he or she is susceptible. The contact interval distribution determines transmission probabilities and the infectiousness profile of infected individuals. Many important questions in infectious disease epidemiology involve the effects of covariates (e.g.\, age or vaccination status) on transmission. Here\, we generalize earlier pairwise methods in two ways: First\, we introduce an accelerated failure time model that allows the contact interval rate parameter to depend on infectiousness covariates for i\, susceptibility covariates for j\, and pairwise covariates. Second\, we show how internal infections (caused by individuals under observation) and external infections (caused environmental or community sources) can be handled simultaneously. In simulations\, we show that these methods produce valid point and interval estimates and that accounting for external infections is critical to consistent estimation. Finally\, we use these methods to analyze household surveillance data from Los Angeles County during the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic.\n\n\nSpeaker: Yushuf Sharker\, Ph.D.\, Takeda Pharmaceuticals\, USA URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/applied-statistics-seminar-on-pairwise-accelerated-failure-time-models-for-infectious-disease-transmission-within-and-between-households/ LOCATION:isrt seminar room CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230612T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230612T130000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20230607T174356Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230612T052057Z UID:5733-1686571200-1686574800@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:Seminar on Classification and Clustering for RNA-seq data with variable selection  DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tanbin Rahman PhD\, FDA\, USA\n\nTitle: Classification and Clustering for RNA-seq data with variable selection\n\nAbstract: Clustering and classification play an important role in identifying sub-types of complex diseases as well as building a predictive model in the field of medicine. In recent years\, lowering of cost and high accuracy has made RNA-seq widely popular which is expected to continue to grow over the next few years. One of the important features of RNA-seq data is its count data structure. While there has been a great deal of literature in both clustering and classification methods\, most of them are either heuristic or suitable for continuous data and do not directly generalize to count data.\n\nIn the first part of the presentation\, we develop a negative binomial mixture model with lasso or fused lasso gene regularization to cluster samples (small n) with high-dimensional gene features (large p). A modified EM algorithm and Bayesian information criterion are used for inference and determining tuning parameters. The method is compared with existing methods using extensive simulations and two real transcriptomic applications in rat brain and breast cancer studies. The result shows the superior performance of the proposed count data model in clustering accuracy\, feature selection\, and biological interpretation in pathways. \nIn the second part of this presentation\, we will discuss a classification model based on negative binomial distribution via generalized linear model framework with double regularization for gene and covariate sparsity to accommodate three key elements: adequate modeling of count data with overdispersion\, gene selection and adjustment for covariate effect. The proposed method is evaluated in simulations and two real applications using cervical tumor miRNA-seq data and schizophrenia post-mortem brain tissue RNA-seq data to demonstrate its superior performance in prediction accuracy and feature selection.

Standard methods assuming exchangeability can yield biased treatment effect estimates if the assumption does not hold. Existing methods evaluate the sensitivity of treatment effect estimates to non-exchangeability due to unmeasured confounders only. In practice\, non-exchangeability can occur for either unmeasured confounders or reverse causality. We propose an index of sensitivity to non-exchangeability (ISENSE) to measure the impact of non-exchangeability on treatment effect estimates. Unlike existing methods\, ISENSE does not require imposing assumptions on the types\, numbers\, and distributions of unmeasured confounders\, and it can handle both unmeasured confounders and reverse causality. ISENSE is a computationally inexpensive local sensitivity method based on a Taylor-series approximation to the non-exchangeability likelihood\, evaluated at the parameter estimates under the exchangeability assumption. One can interpret ISENSE intuitively through the unit-free “MinNE” statistic values that capture the minimum non-exchangeability needed to cause important sensitivity. We evaluate ISENSE using simulation studies and illustrate its use with an example using administrative data from British Columbia\, Canada.\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\nMd Rashedul Hoque\nPh.D. Candidate\, SFU\nMethodologist\, Statistics Canada\nTrainee Biostatistician\, Arthritis Research Canada\nMob: +1 778 882 0689 URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/applied-statistics-seminar-on-tuesday-february-7-2023-at-2pm/ CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230110T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230110T150000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20230110T072719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230110T072719Z UID:5551-1673359200-1673362800@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:Applied Statistics Seminar on Tuesday\, 10 January 2023 at 2 PM.

In particular\, we evaluate higher-order topological features\, e.g.\, motif\, betti number\, and persistence images\, to characterize the dynamics of a temporal network. We then use the functional data depth techniques on the resultant betti functions and vectorized persistent images to identify abnormal behavior in the temporal network. We apply the proposed methods to the temporal human mobility networks. Experiments on both synthetic temporal networks and human mobility networks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. \n  URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/seminar-on-anomaly-detection-in-temporal-networks-through-topological-features-and-motifs-with-application-to-mobility-data-at-2-pm-on-december-20-2022/ LOCATION:ISRT Seminar Room (3rd floor)\, Institute of Statistical Research and Training\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7\, Deltin 7\, Please Select\, 1000\, Bangladesh CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221217 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221219 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20220829T085618Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221212T052228Z UID:5341-1671235200-1671407999@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:Workshop on Measuring Effective Coverage for Monitoring and Evaluation of Selected SDG Indicators on December 17-18\, 2022 DESCRIPTION:A national workshop on Measuring Effective Coverage for Monitoring and Evaluation of Selected SDG Indicators to be held on December 17-18\, 2022\, at the Institute of Statistical Research and Training (ISRT)\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7\, Deltin 7 1000\, Bangladesh.

The heterogenous effect is typically assessed based on variety of information on clinical\, gene and protein expression markers\, commonly known as biomarkers. Previous studies have shown that mRNA expression patterns of tumor samples can predict clinical outcome of cancer patients. Altered mRNA expression profiles from tumor samples can serve as the\nmolecular basis of the cancer patients and hence can be used as the molecular signatures for subgrouping of patients with different survival. The primary objective of this research is two-fold: i) to integrate multi-omic data such as mRNA expression profiles and the copy number variations in order to identify mutated driver genes\, and ii) to use a significant set of driver mutated latent gene structures to identify breast cancer patient subgroups with distinguishable clinical outcomes. As an example\, differential treatment effects of cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) are assessed on survival experience of a group of individuals from an observational study. Similar approach will be considered to identify subgroups of breast cancer patients with different clinical outcomes. \n  \nSpeaker: \nDr. Munni Begum\nPROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AND DIRECTOR OF THE DATA SCIENCE AND ANALYTICS PROGRAMS\nBall State Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\nhttps://www.bsu.edu/academics/collegesanddepartments/math/about/facultyandstaff/faculty/begummunni URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/seminar-on-subgroup-analysis-with-differential-treatment-effects-and-biomarker-identification-at-2-pm-on-december-6-2022/ LOCATION:ISRT Seminar Room (3rd floor)\, Institute of Statistical Research and Training\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7\, Deltin 7\, Please Select\, 1000\, Bangladesh CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221101T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221101T150000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20221031T174157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221031T174157Z UID:5456-1667311200-1667314800@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:ISRT Applied Statistics Seminar on November 1 (Tuesday) at 2:00PM on "Foundational Learning Skills of Children in Bangladesh: What We Learned from MICS" DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mohaimen Mansur will give a talk on “Foundational Learning Skills of Children in Bangladesh: What We Learned from MICS”.  Dr. Mansur is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Statistical Research and Training (ISRT)\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7.

It has considerable health impacts on the physical\, social\, and psychological status of individuals in communities suffering from food insecurity. This study aimed to determine factors associated with household food insecurity\, physical illness\, suicidal ideation\, and quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 698 adults in the Mirpur and Tongi slum region in Bangladesh using a semi-structured questionnaire. The analysis found that the prevalence of food insecurity was high among adults who are 40 years old and in households with larger family sizes; individuals without education were at higher risk of food insecurity; day laborers and transport drivers were at the highest risk of food; property owner was at lower risk of food insecurity compared to who does not have any types of property. The prevalence of food insecurity was also high among people who were suffering from different kinds of physical illness compared to healthy people. Divorced or widowed individuals were more likely to be food insecure than single individuals. Food insecurity was also associated with quality of life negatively. Lower socio-economic status\, poor quality of life\, and pandemic-induced work loss affected household food insecurity. It is suggested that any interventions with financial aid and complemented food distributions\, particularly among the wage looser\, may improve food insecurity. \n  \nSpeaker: \nMd.

It occurs when a patient is clinically ready to be discharged\, however\, the patient cannot be discharged due to unavailability of other necessary care\, support\, or accommodation. The consequences of DTOC are high cost\, mortality\, infections\, depression and reductions in patients’ mobility and their ability to undertake daily activities. In this talk\, a case study based on an NHS hospital will be discussed to identify DTOC patients at the time of admission. Issues related to the date of discharge prediction and other related challenges will be highlighted. \nPresenter: \nMd Asaduzzaman \nAssociate Professor \nDepartment of Engineering\, School of Digital\, Technologies and Arts \nRoom B009A\, Cadman Building\, Staffordshire Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম \nStoke-on-Trent ST4 2DE\, United Kingdom \n  URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/seminar-on-identification-of-delayed-transfer-of-care-dtoc-patients-at-the-time-of-admission-and-prediction-of-their-length-of-stay-in-nhs-hospitals/ CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220808T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220808T150000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20220728T112726Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220728T112726Z UID:5303-1659967200-1659970800@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:Seminar on "Constrained inference in mixed models for clustered data" DESCRIPTION:Title: Constrained inference in mixed models for clustered data\n\n\nAbstract:\nMixed models are commonly used for analyzing clustered data\, including\nlongitudinal data and repeated measurements. Unrestricted full maximum\nlikelihood (ML) methods have been extensively studied in the literature\nfor analyzing generalized\, linear\, and mixed models. However\, constraints\nor parameter orderings may occur in practice\, and in such cases\, we can\nimprove the efficiency of a statistical method by incorporating parameter\nconstraints into the ML estimation and hypothesis testing. In this talk\, I\nwill discuss constrained inference with generalized linear mixed models\n(GLMMs) under linear inequality constraints. Methods will be assessed\nusing both Monte Carlo simulations and actual survey data from a health\nstudy. \n\n\nPresenter:\n\nSanjoy Sinha\n\n\n\nProfessor\nSchool of Mathematics and Statistics\nCarleton Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, Ottawa\, ON\, Canada URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/seminar-on-constrained-inference-in-mixed-models-for-clustered-data/ LOCATION:ISRT Seminar Room (3rd floor)\, Institute of Statistical Research and Training\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7\, Deltin 7\, Please Select\, 1000\, Bangladesh CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220802T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220825T210000 DTSTAMP:20251024T072550 CREATED:20220621T025950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220803T093728Z UID:5218-1659459600-1661461200@isrt.ac.bd SUMMARY:'R for Data Analytics' Training Program (in person) starts from 02 August 2022 DESCRIPTION:After successfully conducting three training programs on R\, ISRT is now organizing its fourth on-campus (in-person) R for Data Analytics program from August 02\, 2022. The deadline has been extended to August 2\, 2022.
