Journal Article
Moore, S. C., Alam, M. F., Heikkinen, M., Hood, K., Huang, C., Moore, L., Murphy, S., Playle, R., Shepherd, J., Shovelton, C., Sivarajasingam, V., & Williams, A. (2017). The effectiveness of an intervention to reduce alcohol-related violence in premises licensed for the sale and on-site consumption of alcohol: a randomized controlled trial. Addiction, 112(11), 1898-1906. https://doi.org/10.1111/add.13878

Background and Aims: Premises licensed for the sale and consumption of alcohol can contribute to levels of assault-related injury through poor operational practices that, if addressed, could reduce violence. We tested the real-world effectiveness of...

Ignorability for general longitudinal data (2017)
Journal Article
Farewell, D. M., Huang, C., & Didelez, V. (2017). Ignorability for general longitudinal data. Biometrika, 104(2), 317-326. https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/asx020

Likelihood factors that can be disregarded for inference are termed ignorable. We demonstrate that close ties exist between ignorability and identification of causal effects by covariate adjustment. A graphical condition, stability, plays a role anal... Read More about Ignorability for general longitudinal data.

Oral and topical antibiotics for clinically infected eczema in children: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial in ambulatory care (2017)
Journal Article
Francis, N. A., Ridd, M. J., Thomas-Jones, E., Butler, C. C., Hood, K., Shepherd, V., Marwick, C. A., Huang, C., Longo, M., Wootton, M., & Sullivan, F. (2017). Oral and topical antibiotics for clinically infected eczema in children: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial in ambulatory care. Annals of Family Medicine, 15(2), 124-130. https://doi.org/10.1370/afm.2038

PURPOSE Eczema may flare because of bacterial infection, but evidence supporting antibiotic treatment is of low quality. We aimed to determine the effect of oral and topical antibiotics in addition to topical emollient and corticosteroids in children...

A calibration method for non-positive definite covariance matrix in multivariate data analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Huang, C., Farewell, D., & Pan, J. (2017). A calibration method for non-positive definite covariance matrix in multivariate data analysis. Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 157, 45-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmva.2017.03.001

Covariance matrices that fail to be positive definite arise often in covariance estimation. Approaches addressing this problem exist, but are not well supported theoretically. In this paper, we propose a unified statistical and numerical matrix calib... Read More about A calibration method for non-positive definite covariance matrix in multivariate data analysis.
