Latent Class and Functional Data Analyses for the Investigation of Stiffness in Low Back Pain
DownloadFall 2018
Low back pain (LBP) is known to be a prevalent, debilitating and costly condition, not to mention the difficulty clinicians have treating it. But progress has been made, as it has recently been shown that instrumented L3 indentation generates force-displacement (F-D) data that is associated with...

Pattern Recognition of Time-dependent Cellular Response of Chemicals Based on Profile Shape Similarity
DownloadSpring 2014
As a potential approach to interpret Mode of Action (MoA), the shape of cellular response profiles associated with chemicals has been a key consideration. In this thesis, statistical pattern recognition methods using multiconcentration time-dependent cellular response profiles (TCRPs) are...

Spring 2017
In this thesis, we study penalized methods in time series and functional data analysis. In the first part, we introduce regularized periodograms for spectral analysis of unevenly spaced time series. The regularized periodograms, called regularized least squares periodogram and regularized...
