Statistical inference of multivariate time series and functional data using new dependence metrics
… focus on inference problems for time series and functional data and develop new methodologies by using new dependence metrics which can be viewed as an extension of Martingale Difference Divergence (MDD) [see Shao and Zhang (2014)] that quantifies the conditional mean dependence of two random …

Nonparametric efficient estimation of prediction error for incomplete data models
… <br>observations. The Brier score is a loss function which is suitable for <br>the assessment of predictions made in terms of predicted probabilities <br>that are coming from a regression model or other sources. <br> <br>This thesis is on defining and estimating measures of prediction error …

Genome-wide Analyses of Recombination and the Genetic Architecture of Virulence Traits in Cryptococcus
… of these QTL studies was the application of functional data analysis methods that exploit time-series data and multiple experimental conditions. I mapped QTL for thermal tolerance, melanization, capsule size, salt tolerance, and antifungal drug susceptibility in C. deneoformans. For several …

Design tools for linear viscoelastic fluids
… Thus making use of materials with novel functionality often occurs through trial and error or kismet of matching a new material to a novel use. To truly utilize rheologically complex materials, we must use a rational design process. In this thesis, we build up the necessary foundations …

Complex mechanical design of bio-inspired model transient network hydrogels
… their mechanical properties with material functions. This is an inherently difficult problem for materials scientists: typically,we define structure-property relationships in terms of scalar material properties, such that modifying a material's structure affects a target material property. …
