All applicants that want to study at the University of economics, the Faculty of Management in Jindřichův Hradec have to be successfully graduated from high school. The preparation for leaving examination in certain subject at high school is at the same time the preparation for admission test....

We consider a random design model based on independent and identically distributed pairs of observations (Xi, Yi), where the regression function m(x) is given by m(x) = E(Yi|Xi = x) with one independent variable. In a nonparametric setting the aim is to produce a reasonable approximation to the...

Statistical flowgraphs represent multistate semi-Markov processes using integral transforms of transition time distributions between adjacent states; these are combinedalgebraically and inverted to derive parametric estimates for first passage time distributions between nonadjacent states. This...

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...

We apply semiparametric efficient estimation procedures for a seemingly unrelated regression model where the multivariate error density is elliptically symmetric to study the efficiency of the foreign exchange market. We consider both cointegrating regressions and standard stationary...

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...
