Human food production activities can dominate natural systems, altering ecological and evolutionary aspects of the environment. Disease-mediated interactions are of particular concern. For example, parasites may "spill-over'' from farms to wildlife. Parasites isolated on farms can evolve...

Functional data analysis (FDA) is a fast-growing area in statistics with the aim of estimating a set of related functions or curves rather than focusing on a single entity, like estimating a point, as in classical statistics. FDA has a wide range of applications in different fields such as...

As one type of principal-agent problem, the insurance contract models are closely related to the extent of information disclosure. We construct two new insurance contract models with full information and adverse selection respectively. The full information model is a continuous-time model in...

Optional processes including optional semimartingales are not necessarily right or left continuous. However, optional semimartingales have right and left limits. Moreover, optional processes may exist on ”un-usual” stochastic basis where the increasing information-filtrations are not complete or...

In this thesis, we formulate and prove the theorem of quadratic reciprocity for an arbitrary number field. We follow Hecke and base our argument on analytic techniques and especially on an identity of theta functions called theta inversion. From this inversion formula and a limiting argument, we...

This thesis investigates efficient and robust estimators for binomial regression models. For this purpose, I have made use of two minimum distance estimation methods developed for discrete data, namely Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation (MHDE) and Symmetric Chi-squared Distance Estimation...

This thesis is mostly based on six papers on selected topics in Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, Wavelet Analysis and Applied Fourier Analysis. The first two papers are devoted to Ball's integral inequality. We prove this inequality via spline functions. We also provide a method for computing all...

Quantile, composite quantile regression with or without regularization have been widely studied and applied in the high-dimensional model estimation and variable selections. Although the theoretical aspect has been well established, the lack of efficient computation methods and publicly available...
