Health Data Science
HEAD: Emanuele Di AngelantonioThe Health Data Science Centre aims to become a reference institution for the analysis of healthcare data. It will collect data and information from a variety of sources by establishing a dialogue with regional healthcare districts, hospitals and scientific societies. The Centre will integrate clinical data with socioeconomic and environmental risk factors to identify precise vulnerability profiles in order to create targeted policy interventions. In addition, it will work to develop solutions for the analysis of data, developing and integrating new analytical methods with clinical epidemiology and healthcare research.

A look at the spatio-temporal mortality patterns in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of mortality densities
With the tools and perspective of Object Oriented Spatial Statistics, we analyze official daily data on mortality from all causes in the provinces and municipalities of Italy for the year 2020, the first of the COVID-19 pandemic. By comparison with mortality data from 2011 to 2019, we assess the local impact of the pandemic as […]

Social and material vulnerability in the face of seismic hazard: An analysis of the Italian case
The assessment of the vulnerability of a community endangerd by seismic hazard is of paramount importance for planning a precision policy aimed at the prevention and reduction of its seismic risk. We aim at measuring the vulnerability of the Italian municipalities exposed to seismic hazard, by analysing the open data offered by the Mappa dei […]

Data mining application to healthcare fraud detection: a two-step unsupervised clustering method for outlier detection with administrative databases
Being the recipient for huge public and private investments, the healthcare sector results to be an interesting target for fraudsters. Nowadays, the availability of a great amount of data makes it possible to tackle this issue with the adoption of data mining techniques. This approach can provide more efficient control of processes in terms of […]

Connected from the Outside: The Role of US Regions in Promoting the Integration of the European Research System
Considerable efforts have been deployed by the European Union to create an integrated Research & Development area. In this paper, we focus on the structure and evolution of the European collaboration network as reflected by patent data. We study patent networks representing collaborations between inventors located in different geographic areas. Existing studies seem to indicate […]

Modeling the Effect of Recurrent Events on Time-to-event Processes by Means of Functional Data
In this paper we propose a methodological framework for modeling information carried out by a longitudinal process by means of functional data, within a survival framework targeting the time-to-event process of interest. In particular, the longitudinal process is represented by the compensator of a marked point process the recurrent events are supposed to derive from. […]
