2. 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

3. Scientific methods for integrating expert knowledge in Bayesian models
Abstract : Generating scientific advice to environmental management involves assessments with complex models, sparse data, and challenging empirical experiments, necessitating the integration of expert judgment with data into scientific models. To integrate expert judgement, assessors might elicit judgement by experts as quantiles, find a probability distribution that matches the quantiles, and add this information to the model. READ MORE

4. 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.

5. 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
