Adaptive weighting for flexible estimation in nonparametric regression models.
Nosedal-Sanchez, Alvaro - 2011
We propose a new method to find spatially adaptive smoothing splines. This new method breaks down the interval [0, 1] into p disjoint sub-intervals. Then we define p functional components in [0, 1], which have two importantfeatures. First, the purpose of each of these p components is to estimate...

Folded Variance Estimators for Stationary Time Series
Antonini, Claudia - 2005
This thesis is concerned with simulation output analysis. In particular, we are inter-ested in estimating the variance parameter of a steady-state output process. The estimationof the variance parameter has immediate applications in problems involving (i) the precisionof the sample mean as a...

Topics in functional data analysis with biological applications
Carroll, Raymond J. (contributor); Hsing, Tailen (contributor) - 2006
Functional data analysis (FDA) is an active field of statistics, in which the primary subjectsin the study are curves. My dissertation consists of two innovative applications offunctional data analysis in biology. The data that motivated the research broadened thescope of FDA and demanded new...
