| The growing availability of electronic health records (EHR) data opens up opportunities for biomedical research that improves patient care. Generalizable knowledge can be derived from multi-institutional EHR data. Transporting EHR-driven algorithms across healthcare systems, however, is highly chall... |
| Saw Swee Hock Public Lecture on 'Autoregressive Networks' by Professor Qiwei YAO on July 27, 2022 | |
| Dept of Statistics & Actuarial Science Uploaded on 2022-07-23 00:42:44 |
|
| We propose a first-order autoregressive model for dynamic network processes in which edges change over time while nodes remain unchanged. The model depicts the dynamic changes explicitly. It also facilitates simple and efficient statistical inference such as the maximum likelihood estimators which a... |
