We propose new estimators using regularized survival regression and survival Random Forest (RF) to adjust for the high-dimensional covariate to improve efficiency. We study the behavior of the adjusted estimators under mild assumptions and show theoretical guarantees that the proposed estimators are more efficient than the unadjusted ones asymptotically when using RF for the adjustment.

Even though the continuous path of gaze is recorded during each trial, commonly derived outcomes for analysis collapse the data into simple summaries, such as looking times in regions of interest, latency to looking at stimuli, number of stimuli viewed, number of fixations or fixation length. In order to retain information in trial time, we utilize functional data analysis (FDA) for the first time in literature in the analysis of ET data. More specifically, novel functional outcomes for ET data, referred to as viewing profiles, are introduced that capture the common gazing trends across trial time which are lost in traditional data summaries. Mean and variation of the proposed functional outcomes across subjects are then modeled using functional principal components analysis. Applications to data from a visual exploration paradigm conducted by the Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials showcase the novel insights gained from the proposed FDA approach, including significant group differences between children diagnosed with autism and their typically developing peers in their consistency of looking at faces early on in trial time.</p>","PeriodicalId":45094,"journal":{"name":"Statistics in Biosciences","volume":"15 1","pages":"261-287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10112660/pdf/nihms-1842687.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9378156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The regression calibration method has been used for this purpose when an objectively measured biomarker is available. However, a big limitation of the regression calibration method is that biomarkers have only been developed for a few dietary components. We propose new methods to use controlled feeding studies to develop valid biomarkers for many more dietary components and to estimate the diet disease associations. Asymptotic distribution theory for the proposed estimators is derived. Extensive simulation is performed to study the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators. We applied our method to examine the associations between the sodium/potassium intake ratio and cardiovascular disease incidence using the Women's Health Initiative cohort data.
