DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The School of Public Health requires a minimum of three letters of recommendation as part of our application process. This session will provide you with an overview of this requirement: why we have it\, what are we looking for in a quality recommendation\, who should serve as a recommender\, can you submit four recommendations? We will address all of these and more as well as other questions you may have. \nThe SPH Application Webinar Series focuses on the application process related to our Master of Public Health (MPH) and Master of Science (MS) degree programs. If you have questions about the Doctoral (PhD) or Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) degree options\, please contact us at sph-admissions@umn.edu. \nAdditionally\, questions will be prioritized based on the topic of Letters of Recommendation and other questions will be addressed if time permits. \nSessions will be recorded and shared with registrants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:BHDS Seminar with Paul S. Albert
DESCRIPTION:Estimating Interactions in Chemical Mixtures: Case Studies from Cancer Epidemiology \nPresented by Paul S. Albert\nSenior Investigator and Director\nBiostatistics Branch\nDivision of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics\nNational Cancer Institute \nEstimating the interactions between mixture components is often of interest in epidemiologic studies. Motivated by studies examining the effects of chemical exposures in the development of cancer\, we develop and compare different approaches for estimating interactions among components of these exposures. We develop a latent functions approach where the main and interaction effects are estimated using two separate sets of unobserved functions. We also develop a Bayesian shrinkage approach that incorporates the hierarchical principle which assumes that it is unlikely that there are interactions without the presence of corresponding main effects. These approaches are compared with Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and LASSO\, two approaches currently being used for analyzing interactions in chemical mixture studies. We analyze the data from a series of NCI studies to provide insight into chemical mixture analyses. \nThis is joint work with Sung Duk Kim and Debamita Kundu. \nA seminar tea will be held at 9:30 a.m. in University Office Plaza\, Room 240. All are Welcome.

SUMMARY:BHDS Plan B Presentation with Jiaying Dong
DESCRIPTION:Evaluating Martingale and Counting Process-Based Covariance and Correlation Estimators for Multivariate Survival Data \nPresented by Jiaying Dong\nMasters Candidate in Biostatistics\nPlan B Adviser: Benjamin Langworthy \nEstimating associations between multiple time to event outcomes is an important yet challenging task in survival analysis due to the presence of censoring and competing risks. Traditional measures of correlation and covariance are not valid in this setting. Langworthy et al. [1] proposed a class of time-indexed estimators based on martingale and counting process methods that account for censoring and competing risk and allow for estimations of covariance and correlation between event types. This project evaluates the performance of these estimators through simulation studies and applies them to real world electronic health record data from M Health Fairview Hospital system. \nSimulation scenarios varied by sample size\, censoring level\, time point\, and the presence of competing risks. We accessed bias\, standard deviation\, and coverage probabilities of bootstrap confidence intervals of the estimators. Both estimators performed well with low bias\, stable variance and close to 95% coverage probability. In the clinical data application\, we examined associations between orders for lactic acid testing\, telemetry monitoring and antibiotic administration following clinical deterioration\, using the same estimators. The results demonstrated that these martingale and counting process based estimators can be effectively applied in multivariate survival settings and are capable of handling censoring and competing risks\, making them useful tools for analyzing associations between time to event outcomes.
