DOI: 10.1002/gepi.22031
Abstract: Motivated by the multivariate nature of microbiome data with hierarchical taxonomic clusters, counts that are often skewed and zero inflated, and repeated measures, we propose a Bayesian latent variable methodology to jointly model multiple operational… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118476
Abstract: Decades of research have led to several competing theories regarding the neural contributors to impaired reading. But how can we know which theory (or theories) identifies the types of markers that indeed differentiate between individuals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2017.07.004
Abstract: Accurate diagnosis of pregnancy is an essential component of an effective reproductive management plan for dairy cattle. Indirect methods of pregnancy detection can be performed soon after breeding and offer an advantage over traditional direct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2017.11.002
Abstract: The present study aimed to estimate the herd-level sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of three commonly used serological tests in naturally-infected cattle and buffalo in smallholder farms in Pakistan. Between February and June 2015, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01621459.2019.1689983
Abstract: Abstract Kidney obstruction, if untreated in a timely manner, can lead to irreversible loss of renal function. A widely used technology for evaluations of kidneys with suspected obstruction is diuresis renography. However, it is generally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12859-020-3387-z
Abstract: Background Heterogeneity in the definition and measurement of complex diseases in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) may lead to misdiagnoses and misclassification errors that can significantly impact discovery of disease loci. While well appreciated, almost all… read more here.

DOI: 10.2460/javma.22.09.0424
Abstract: OBJECTIVE American bison (Bison bison) quarantine protocols were established to prevent transmission of brucellosis outside the Greater Yellowstone Area, while allowing for distribution of wild bison for conservation and cultural purposes. Quarantine standards require rigorous… read more here.
