Article Abstract
This paper introduces a new algorithm to estimate and perform inferences on a recently proposed and developed semiparametric generalized linear model (glm). Rather than selecting a particular parametric exponential family model, such as the Poisson distribution, this semiparametric glm assumes that the response is drawn from the more general exponential tilt family. The regression coefficients and unspecified reference distribution are estimated by maximizing a semiparametric likelihood. The new algorithm incorporates several computational stability and efficiency improvements over the algorithm originally proposed. In particular, the new algorithm performs well for either small or large support for the nonparametric response distribution. The algorithm is implemented in a new R package called .

A comparison of semi-parametric statistical modeling approaches to dynamic classification of irregularly and sparsely sampled curves.

This study describes and compares the performance of several semi-parametric statistical modeling approaches to dynamically classify subjects into two groups, based on an irregularly and sparsely sampled curve. The motivating example of this study is the diagnosis of a complication following cardiac surgery, based on repeated measures of a single cardiac biomarker where early detection enables prompt intervention by clinicians. We first simulate data to compare the dynamic predictive performance over time for growth charts, conditional growth charts, a varying-coefficient model, a generalized functional linear model and longitudinal discriminant analysis.

Background: Aspirin monotherapy is recommended indefinitely for patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this individual patient level meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the comparative efficacy and safety of clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy in patients with established CAD, most of whom had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or had acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase to identify randomised trials published from database inception to April 12, 2025, comparing clopidogrel monotherapy with aspirin monotherapy in patients with established CAD who had discontinued or never started dual antiplatelet therapy.
Understanding Racial Disparities in Lung Transplant Outcomes: A Comparative Study of White and Hispanic Patients.

Background: Hispanic/Latino individuals are the fastest growing subset of the US population. Although racial and ethnic differences in outcomes following lung transplantation have been recognized, they are not entirely understood. We compared long-term post-lung transplant outcomes in Hispanic/Latino and White non-Hispanic recipients and aimed to determine whether any differences are attributable to a specific racial-ethnic effect.

Partially linear models are commonly used in observational studies of the causal effect of treatment and/or exposure when there are observed confounding variables. The models are robust and asymptotically distribution-free for testing the causal null hypothesis. In this research, we investigate methods for estimating the partially linear models with data missing at random in all the variables, including the response, the treatment, and the confounding variables.

In studies of chronic diseases, the health status of a subject can often be characterized by a finite number of transient disease states and an absorbing state, such as death. The times of transitions among the transient states are ascertained through periodic examinations and thus interval-censored. The time of reaching the absorbing state is known or right-censored, with the transient state at the previous instant being unobserved.
