1. Nonlinear Quantile Regression for Longitudinal Data
Abstract : The overall objective of the two papers in this thesis is to examine the properties of the weighted nonlinear quantile regression estimator for the analysis of longitudinal data. To this end, the question of which weights to be used, the bias of the estimator and the possibility to calculate confidence intervals has to be examined. READ MORE

2. Regression Analysis of Censored Data with Applications in Perimetry
Abstract : This thesis treats regression analysis when either the dependent or the independent variable is censored. We deal with quantile regression when the dependent variable is censored. 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. Some Investigations into the Class of Exponential Power Distributions
Abstract : In this thesis, methods are developed relating to the exponential power class of distributions.Paper I considers Bayesian linear mixed models where the usual normality assumption is replaced by the multivariate exponential power distribution. Particular focus lies on Bayesian testing of the fixed effects. READ MORE

5. Statistical Methods for Taxon Classification and Bird Migration Phenology
Abstract : The connection between ecology and statistics is deep. Methodological advancement in statistics open up new possibilities to understand the distribution of life on earth, and research questions in ecology cause new statistical methods to be developed. READ MORE
