We analyze 20,000 addresses of insurance company clients, collect a corresponding house image using Google Street View, and annotate house features such as age, type, and condition. We find that this information substantially improves car accident risk prediction compared to the state-of-the-art risk model of the insurance company and could be used for price discrimination.

In clinical practice and biomedical research, measurements are often collected sparsely and irregularly in time while the data acquisition is expensive and inconvenient. We propose an alternative elementary framework for analyzing longitudinal data, relying on matrix completion.

The academic and behavioral progress of children is associated with the timely development of reading and writing skills. Our method achieved 96.6% sensibility and 99.2% specificity. Given the intra-rater and inter-rater levels of agreement in the BHK test.

Single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) is a standard treatment approach aimed at improving gait for patients with cerebral palsy. We identified 26% of the non-surgically treated limbs that may have shown a clinically meaningful improvement in gait had they received surgery.

Within the framework of functional data analysis, we develop principal component analysis for periodically correlated time series of functions.

In this paper, we address the problem of dimension reduction for time series of functional data ($X_t$: $t$ ∈ $Z$). Such functional time series frequently arise, e.g., when a continuous-time process is segmented into some smaller natural units, such as days.
