Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) has become the most widely used dimension reduction tool for functional data analysis. We consider functional data measured at random, subject-specific time points, contaminated with measurement error, allowing for both sparse and dense functional...

The paper considers a wide class of semiparametric problems with a parametric part for some covariate effects and repeated evaluations of a nonparametric function. Special cases in our approach include marginal models for longitudinal or clustered data, conditional logistic regression for...

Considering partially linear single-index errors-in-variables model which can be described as Y = n(X T a) + ZT ßo + e when the Z' s are measured with additive errors. The general estimators established in literature are biased when ignoring the measurement errors. We proposed two estimators in...

This dissertation includes three components. Component 1 provides an estima-tion procedure for circadian parameters in cyanobacteria. Component 2 explores therelationship between baseline and amplitude by model selection under the frameworkof smoothing spline. Component 3 investigates properties...
