2. Extreme Value Analysis of Huge Datasets: Tail Estimation Methods in High-Throughput Screening and Bioinformatics
Abstract : This thesis presents results in Extreme Value Theory with applications to High-Throughput Screening and Bioinformatics. The methods described here, however, are applicable to statistical analysis of huge datasets in general. The main results are covered in four papers. READ MORE

3. Estimation and Inference for Quantile Regression of Longitudinal Data : With Applications in Biostatistics
Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers dealing with estimation and inference for quantile regression of longitudinal data, with an emphasis on nonlinear models.The first paper extends the idea of quantile regression estimation from the case of cross-sectional data with independent errors to the case of linear or nonlinear longitudinal data with dependent errors, using a weighted estimator.

4. Group-Sparse Regression : With Applications in Spectral Analysis and Audio Signal Processing
Abstract : This doctorate thesis focuses on sparse regression, a statistical modeling tool for selecting valuable predictors in underdetermined linear models. By imposing different constraints on the structure of the variable vector in the regression problem, one obtains estimates which have sparse supports, i.e. READ MORE

5. Topics on mathematical statistics for medical applications : summary measures and exact simulation of diffusions
Abstract : The first part of this thesis deals with exact simulation of multidimensional diffusion processes. The main contribution is the development of an exact rejection algorithm for sampling coupled Wright-Fisher diffusions. The algorithm’s output provides a skeleton from the diffusion sampled at a random number of time points. READ MORE
