Characterizing the genetic correlates to complex diseases requires consideration of a large number of potentially informative biological markers. In addition, attention to alignment of alleles within or across chromosomal pairs, commonly referred to as phase, may be essential for uncovering true...

The commonly used two-sample tests of equal area-under-the-curve (AUC), where AUC is based on the linear trapezoidal rule, may have poor properties when observations are missing, even if they are missing completely at random (MCAR). We propose two tests: one that has good properties when data...

Understanding how long-term clinical outcomes relate to short-term response to therapy is an important topic of research with a variety of applications. In HIV, early measures of viral RNA levels are known to be a strong prognostic indicator of future viral load response. However, mutations...
