Assessing Temporally and Spatially Resolved PM2.5 Exposures for Epidemiological Studies Using Satellite Aerosol Optical Depth Measurements

HSPH Events Environmental Statistics Seminar Itai kloog, Ph.D. Post doctoral fellow, Department of Environmental Health at Harvard School of Public Health ABSTRACT: Land use regression (LUR) models provide good estimates of spatially resolved long term exposures, but are poor at capturing short term exposures. Satellite-derived Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measurements have the potential to provide spatio-temporally resolved predictions of both long and short term exposures, but previous studies have generally showed relatively low predictive power. Our objective was to extend our previous work on day-specific calibrations of AOD data using ground PM2.5 measurements by incorporating commonly used LUR variables and meteorological variables, thus benefiting from both the spatial resolution from the LUR models and the spatio-temporal resolution from the satellite models. Later we use spatial smoothing to predict PM2.5 concentrations for day/locations with missing AOD measures. We used mixed models with random slopes f… Friday, February 10, 2012, 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM.

Multi-Scale Multiple Testing for Detection of Regions of Genomic Copy Number Change in Population Analyses

HSPH Events Correlated and High-Dimensional Data Seminar Nezamoddin Nezamoddini-Kachouie, Ph.D. Research Fellow, Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health and Department of Biostatistics & Computational Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Abstract: Feature extraction for signal reconstruction from observed noisy samples is a common important problem in statistics and engineering. Emerging advances in genomic sequencing have prompted the development of new computational methods for studying the genomic sources of human diseases. We present a general statistical approach to the problem of detecting non-zero regions in a long data sequence. Specifically, this method is used to solve the problem of finding non-zero genomic regions with significant copy number alterations (CNAs) between two cell populations, such as normal and cancer cells. Mapping such alterations is of interest as they may be potentially related to higher susceptibility to diseases. The proposed technique employs… Monday, February 13, 2012, 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM.
