1. Some Contributions to Description and Validation of the Extreme Value Distribution
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters.

2. Genetic variance and covariance components for across population evaluation of Brown Swiss cattle
Abstract : Dairy cattle breeding is an international business, with trade of animal material across populations. Interbull performs international genetic evaluations of dairy bulls, enabling fair comparisons across populations. READ MORE

3. Studies in Estimation of Patterned Covariance Matrices
Abstract : Many testing, estimation and confidence interval procedures discussed in the multivariate statistical literature are based on the assumption that the observation vectors are independent and normally distributed. The main reason for this is that often sets of multivariate observations are, at least approximately, normally distributed. READ MORE

4. The genomic basis of the response to female-limited X-chromosome evolution
Abstract : In this thesis, I attempted to achieve a better understanding of the nature of X-linked polymorphic loci using a female-limited X chromosome (FLX) experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster. I expected that expressing the evolved X chromosome will result in an increase in female fitness and a decrease in male fitness. READ MORE
