On the Fixed-Length-Burst Levenshtein Ball with Unit Radius
Consider a length-$n$ sequence $\bm{x}$ over a $q$-ary alphabet. The \emph{fixed-length Levenshtein ball} $\mathcal{L}_t(\bm{x})$ of radius $t$ encompasses all length-$n$ $q$-ary sequences that can be derived from $\bm{x}$ by performing $t$ deletions followed by $t$ insertions. Analyzing the size and structure of these balls presents significant challenges in combinatorial coding theory. Recent studies have successfully characterized fixed-length Levenshtein balls in the context of a single del…

LinGuinE: Longitudinal Guidance Estimation for Volumetric Lung Tumour Segmentation
Segmentation of lung gross tumour volumes is an important first step in radiotherapy and surgical intervention, and is starting to play a role in assessing chemotherapy response. Response to a drug is measured by tracking the tumour volumes over a series of CT scans over a time period i.e. a longitudinal study. However, there currently exist few solutions for automated or semi-automated longitudinal tumour segmentation. This paper introduces LinGuinE, an automated method to segment a longitudin…

Mediation Analysis for Sparse and Irregularly Spaced Longitudinal Outcomes with Application to the MrOS Sleep Study
Mediation analysis has become a widely used method for identifying the pathways through which an independent variable influences a dependent variable via intermediate mediators. However, limited research addresses the case where mediators are high-dimensional and the outcome is represented by sparse, irregularly spaced longitudinal data. To address these challenges, we propose a mediation analysis approach for scalar exposures, high-dimensional mediators, and sparse longitudinal outcomes. This …
