Lecture 14:
A Brief Introduction to LaTeX
What are TeX and LaTeX?



TeX (tau epsilon chi) is a computer language
designed for typesetting, especially math.
TeX was developed by Donald Knuth, a
Mathematician/Computer Scientist, and others in
late 1970s. He was dissatisfied with the
typesetting from the publisher of his book “The
Art of Computer Programming”. The
development took about 10 years.
TeX is an interpreter language, accepting
commands based on markup language, written
in ascii files.
What are TeX and LaTeX?


TeX is portable, producing the same output on
any computer.
TeX is a very low level language directing where
and what to place on a page. For example:
move a specific distance to the left, right, up, or
down ; change font; write a string of words,
possibly containing math expressions, to a
paragraph, etc.
What are TeX and LaTeX?


TeX processes the input commands and
produces a device independent file (dvi). This
file then gets translated for the particular output
device; screen, pdf, postscript (.ps).
TeX requires a set of fonts. Donald Knuth also
developed a font creation program called
Metafont. All TeX installations have a basic set of
fonts, other fonts can be generated or added,
included commercially available fonts.
What are TeX and LaTeX?


Macro commands can be defined to build the
low level commands into high level command
interfaces. For example, a macro to create a title
page and to set up sections and subsections,
etc.
LaTeX is a variation of TeX that is easier to use
than basic TeX. It is essentially a macro package
that runs using TeX. The macros provide many
useful features including the ability to create
documents with sections and chapters,
bibliography macros.
What are TeX and LaTeX?



Essentially, LaTeX provides easier document
style implementation, while also providing the
ease of math typesetting.
LaTeX also provides the ability to include
graphics in documents, although in some
implementations of LaTeX it is not easy to do so.
LaTeX style files have been created to format
common document features, such as
paragraphing, margins, footnotes, headers, etc.
What are TeX and LaTeX?


LaTeX style files include: letter, book, article, and
report.
A style file can be written for any use such as for
formatting a Ph.D. thesis. The thesis formats for
Penn are available at:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/grad/thesisstyle.html

TeX/LaTeX is available for Windows, Unix, Linux,
and Mac OS. It can be obtained for free or
commercially.
What are TeX and LaTeX?

The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network
(CTAN) is the most comprehensive site.
http://www.ctan.org/
Some info on LaTeX: http://www.latex-project.org/
 Free versions include: Windows (proTeXt,
MiKTeX), Unix/Linux (TeX Live), Mac
(gwTeX). There are many others.
 Commercial versions: Windows (PCTeX,
TurboTeX), Mac (Textures).

What are TeX and LaTeX?




TeX is not WYSIWYG (What you see is what you
get).
MS WORD and WordPerfect are WYSIWYG.
In WYSIWYG text processors: what you see on
the screen as you edit is the final product,
formatting commands are not visible.
LaTex and Tex are not word processors. Rather,
they are text formatters. The formatting
commands are visible (in a command file). The
command file defines the structure of the final
product and a compiler is needed to process the
commands.
LaTeX
LaTeX has two modes for the typed
characters: Math Mode and Text Mode.
The mode determines how LaTeX
responds to the entered text.
 Default is text mode.
 Math mode is indicated by surrounded the
math phrase with a $ on each end, e.g.
$\alpha$. The math symbol \alpha will only
work in math mode.

LaTeX document layout
\documentclass{class}
\begin{document}
.... your text goes here ....
\end{document}
Class can be article (publication article), report
(document with chapters), letter, book.
Example of LaTeX Input and Output
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a simple example of the use of \LaTeX{}. Files must contain special commands that declare
the \emph{document class}, most often ``article’’, and that denote the beginning and end of the
document itself, \emph{begin} and \emph{end}.
The \emph{preamble} is the initial part of the file, between the document class command and the
beginning of the document. This may contain commands specifying font information, defintion of new
commands, author and title information, or other commands.
The text of the document goes between the begin and end commands. Paragraphs are indicated by
blank lines. Segments of the text that are to printed in \textbf{boldface} {\bf font}, {\it italics}, or
\underline{underlined} are simply surrounded by the appropriate \emph{environment}.

There are various font sizes that can be accessed. Others can be created in needed.
{\tiny tiny} \\
{\scriptsize scriptsize} \\
{\footnotesize footnotesize} \\
{\small small} \\
{\normalsize normalsize} \\
{\large large} \\
{\Large Large} \\
{\LARGE LARGE} \\

Let $N_0$, and $N_1$ be the numbers of unexposed and exposed
members of the population,
respectively, and let other quantities be defined as in Table 1.
We are interested in $p_0$ = P(true disease $|$ unexposed) and
$p_1$ = P(true disease $|$ exposed). Usual risk measures such as the risk
difference $p_1 - p_0$ or relative risk $p_1/p_0$ can be based on
estimates of $p_0$ and $p_1$.

Example 1 of Math in LaTeX
\begin{document}
Suppose X represents the lifetime random variable and
T the truncation random variable for Group~1
and Y represents the lifetime random variable and
Z the truncation random variable for Group~2.
Also, suppose that X, Y, T, and Z are all independent.
The pair $(X,T)$ is observed if and only if $X \leq T$ and
the pair $(Y,Z)$ is observed if and only if $Y \leq Z$.
Under this sampling scheme, only the pairs in Group~1 satisfying
$x_i \leq t_i$,
denoted $(x_1, t_1), \ldots, (x_{n_1}, t_{n_1})$, are observed.
Also, only the pairs in Group~2 satisfying $y_j \leq z_j$,
denoted $(y_1, z_1), \ldots, (y_{n_2}, z_{n_2})$, are observed.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Here is an equation with a label for referencing the equation number.
\begin{equation}
\label{areform}
ARE \doteq 1- \frac{ \pi_0 k + \pi_1 - \pi_0 \pi_1 \left( (1-f_0)
+k(1-f_1) \right) - \pi_1 f_0 - \pi_0 f_1 k }
{ \pi_0 k + \pi_1 - \pi_0 \pi_1 \left( (1-f_0)
+k(1-f_1) \right) \hspace{1.15in}
}.
\end{equation}
By definition, $k=f_0 T_0 / f_1 T_1$ which yields $T_0 = (f_1 T_1 k)/f_0$.
Substituting this result into $f$ yields $f= f_0 f_1 (k+1) / (f_1 k + f_0)$.
The ARE comparing full verification to the BG method is obtained
by substituting $f_0=f_1=f$ into Equation~\ref{areform}.

Example 3 of Math in LaTeX
\begin{document}
The construction of the Mann-Whitney statistic is based on information of
the patterns found in the ordered combined sample. Define
\begin{displaymath}
U_{ij} = U(X_i,Y_j) =
\left\{ \begin{array}{lr}
{+1} & \hspace{2ex} X_i > Y_j \\
{ 0} & \hspace{2ex} X_i = Y_j \\
{-1} & \hspace{2ex} X_i < Y_j
\end{array}
\right.
\end{displaymath}
The Mann-Whitney statistic is defined as
\begin{displaymath}
U = \frac{1}{n_1 n_2} \sum_{i=1}^{n_1}\sum_{j=1}^{n_2} U_{ij}
\end{displaymath}
The Mann-Whitney statistic, $U$, and Wilcoxon statistic, $W$,
can be shown to be related according to
$ W = 2^{-1} \left[ n_1 n_2 U + n_1(n_1+n_2+1) \right] $.
It should be noted here that the Mann-Whitney
statistic is sometimes defined with $U_{ij}$ being an indicator
function taking on values 1 if $X_i>Y_j$ and 0 otherwise.
Exact moments for the Wilcoxon statistic can be derived through the use
of permutation theory.

It is now shown that $\pahs\ =T_0/N_0$ and $\piah\ =X_0/M_0$ are uncorrelated.
The conditional covariance $Cov(\pahs\ , \piah\ | D_0, W_0) = 0$, because
$T_0=D_0+W_0$. Therefore,
\noindent
\begin{eqnarray*}
Cov(\pahs\ , \piah\ )

Cov \left[ E \left( \pahs\ | D_0, W_0 \right),

\section{INTRODUCTION}
\label{intro}
One of the primary methodologic concerns with population-based database
studies is the potential for errors in the diagnoses reported in
the database. Thus, the performance of pharmacoepidemiologic
studies using these large databases usually requires verification
of diagnoses reported in the database \cite{Carson1994}, which
may be accomplished, for example, by obtaining medical records of
the presumptive cases identified in the database.
Brenner and Gefeller \cite{Brenner1993a} examined a similar design for estimating relative risks,
but they used the same sampling fraction for verifying the disease status of
exposed and unexposed presumptive cases.

\frametitle{A Model Problem: Widow's Pension Fund}
\begin{itemize}
\item We will demonstrate several of the optimization methods discussed on
the widow's pension fund problem that we used earlier for root finding.
\item Recall that this problem was to determine the parameters of a mixed
model: the mixture parameter $\xi$ and the Poisson intensity $\lambda$.
\item The log likelihood for this problem was
{\footnotesize
\begin{eqnarray*}
\ell (\xi , \lambda)
& = & n_0 \log \left( \xi + (1-\xi) e^{-\lambda} \right)
+ (N-n_0) \left[\log(1-\xi)-\lambda\right] \\
& + & \sum_{i=1}^{\infty} i \,\ n_i \log\lambda \quad.

\frametitle{Nelder-Mead Simplex Method}
\begin{itemize}
\item The vector of \textcolor{green}{parameters in K dimensions} , $\bm\theta$
is to be minimized. A K-dimensional simplex, K-simplex, is defined byK+1 points in K-space (in 1D, a
line segment is defined by 2points).
\item Select a starting point for $\bm\theta$,$\bm\theta_0$.
\item Compute the centroid (average of the points of the K-simplex ORcenter of mass of the Ksimplex).
\begin{equation}
\tilde{\bm\theta}_{(0)}
= \frac{1}{K+1} \sum_{i=0}^{K} \bm\theta_{0i} \quad.\nonumber
\end{equation}
\item Do a 1-D search over $\bm\theta_K + \alpha
(\tilde{\bm\theta}_{(K)}-\bm\theta_K)$, where $\alpha\in[0,2]$, to find the
next $\bm\theta_K$.
\item \textcolor{blue}{Repeat until convergence}.
