Penalized Nonparametric Scalar-On-Function Regression Via Principal Coordinates, Philip T. Reiss, David L. Miller, Pei-Shien Wu, Wen-Yu Hua Dec 2016

Penalized Nonparametric Scalar-On-Function Regression Via Principal Coordinates, Philip T. Reiss, David L. Miller, Pei-Shien Wu, Wen-Yu Hua

Philip T. Reiss

A number of classical approaches to nonparametric regression have recently been extended to the case of functional predictors. This paper introduces a new method of this type, which extends intermediate-rank penalized smoothing to scalar-on-function regression. The core idea is to regress the response on leading principal coordinates defined by a relevant distance among the functional predictors, while applying a ridge penalty. Our publicly available implementation, based on generalized additive modeling software, allows for fast optimal tuning parameter selection and for extensions to multiple functional predictors, exponential family-valued responses, and mixed-effects models. In an application to signature verification data, the proposed …

We have followed up on our previous measurements of upscattering of ultracold neutrons (UCN) from a series of gases by making measurements of total cross sections on the following gases hydrogen, ethane, methane, isobutene, n-butane, ethylene, water vapor, propane, neopentane, isopropyl alcohol, and 3 He. The values of these cross sections are important for estimating the loss rate of trapped neutrons due to residual gas and are relevant to neutron lifetime measurements using UCN. The effects of the UCN velocity and path-length distributions were accounted for in the analysis using a Monte Carlo transport code. Results are compared to our …

Regional Initiatives For Malaria Elimination: Building And Maintaining Partnerships, Andrew A. Lover, Kelly E. Harvard, Alistair E. Lindawson, Cara Smith Gueye, Rima Shretta, Roly Gosling, Richard Feachem Dec 2016

Regional Initiatives For Malaria Elimination: Building And Maintaining Partnerships, Andrew A. Lover, Kelly E. Harvard, Alistair E. Lindawson, Cara Smith Gueye, Rima Shretta, Roly Gosling, Richard Feachem

Andrew Lover

  • Country programs and international donors are increasingly focused on regional approaches to malaria elimination; regional initiatives have been established in southern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Despite this growing attention, there is limited information and guidance on both key activities and organizational components of regional initiatives.
  • In a review conducted for this policy forum, common characteristics across existing regional initiatives emerged: building a region-specific evidence base, leveraging expertise and resources, shifting commodities or pooling procurement, developing data-sharing systems, mobilizing resources, promoting high-level accountability, and strengthening advocacy.
  • Regional initiatives share key structural elements: a strategic …

Malaria Risk Factors And Care-Seeking Behaviour Within The Private Sector Among High-Risk Populations In Vietnam: A Qualitative Study, Ingrid Chen, Huong Ngo Thi Thanh, Andrew A. Lover, Phung Thi Thao, Tang Viet Luu, Hoang Nghia Thang, Ngo Duc Thang, Josselyn Neukom, Adam Bennett Dec 2016

Malaria Risk Factors And Care-Seeking Behaviour Within The Private Sector Among High-Risk Populations In Vietnam: A Qualitative Study, Ingrid Chen, Huong Ngo Thi Thanh, Andrew A. Lover, Phung Thi Thao, Tang Viet Luu, Hoang Nghia Thang, Ngo Duc Thang, Josselyn Neukom, Adam Bennett

Andrew Lover

Background
Vietnam has successfully reduced malaria incidence by more than 90% over the past 10 years, and is now preparing for malaria elimination. However, the remaining malaria burden resides in individuals that are hardest to reach, in highly remote areas, where many malaria cases are treated through the informal private sector and are not reported to public health systems. This qualitative study aimed to contextualize and characterize the role of private providers, care-seeking behaviour of individuals at high risk of malaria, as well as risk factors that should be addressed through malaria elimination programmes in Vietnam.
Methods
Semi-structured qualitative interviews were …
