Abstract Introduction Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex condition characterized by metabolic dysfunction and myocardial lipotoxicity. The roles of PTEN‐induced kinase 1 (PINK1) peroxiredoxin‐2 (Prdx2) in HFpEF pathogenesis remain unclear. Objective This study aimed to investigate the interaction between PINK1 Prdx2 mitigate cardiac diastolic HFpEF. Methods In vivo, PINK1‐knockout mice cardiac‐specific PINK1‐overexpressing transgenic were used establish an...

Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE) is a powerful parameter estimation method for log-linear models, which avoids calculation of the partition function or its derivatives at each training step, computationally demanding step in many cases. It closely related to negative sampling methods, now widely used NLP. This paper considers NCE-based conditional models. Conditional models are frequently encountered practice; however there has not been rigorous theoretical analysis NCE this setting, and...

The problem of estimating the mean a normal vector with known but unequal variances introduces substantial difficulties that impair adequacy traditional empirical Bayes estimators. By taking different approach treats as part random observations, we restore symmetry and thus effectiveness such methods. We suggest group-linear estimator, which collects observations similar applies spherically symmetric estimator to each group separately. proposed is motivated by new oracle rule stronger than...

Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) is a widely used spectral technique for finding correlation structures in multi-view datasets. In this paper, we tackle the problem of large scale CCA, where classical algorithms, usually requiring computing product two huge matrices and matrix decomposition, are computationally storage expensive. We recast CCA from novel perspective propose scalable memory efficient Augmented Approximate Gradient (AppGrad) scheme top $k$ dimensional canonical subspace...

Semantic image segmentation can be accomplished by assigning a proper object category label to each meaningful region of an image. Beyond the original bottom-up models, use top-down categorization information has been applied semantic improve performance. An excellent example such scheme is integrate Conditional Random Field (CRF) model with sparse dictionary learning. However, existing solutions merely consider discrimination dictionaries obtain better codes, without considering inherent...

Latent space models are effective tools for statistical modeling and exploration of network data. These can effectively model real world characteristics such as degree heterogeneity, transitivity, homophily, etc. Due to their close connection generalized linear models, it is also natural incorporate covariate information in them. The current paper presents two universal fitting algorithms networks with edge covariates: one based on nuclear norm penalization the other projected gradient...

To explore the association between dietary fiber and heart failure (HF).Data were collected from 2009-2018 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Dietary intake data obtained two 24-h recall interviews. Logistic regression restricted cubic spline models used to of intakes total, cereal, fruit, vegetable with HF prevalence.A total 21869 adults included in this study. After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (CI) was 0.49 (0.28 0.87, P...
