Contributions to Estimation in Item Response Theory
… the goodness of fit for the models. We show that Rao's score test is superior to the existing chi-square tests.

Linear Models for Multivariate Repeated Measures Data
… <p>Our main results are: (1) construction of Rao's score test for a simpler model with p=1 (univariate case) and V<sub>ij</sub> having a structure as in a mixed effects model, (2) comparison of all the methods for analyzing univariate repeated measures data with time varying covariates, (3) …

Building a Nonparametric Model After Dimension Reduction
… test of additivity is proposed and compared with Rao's score test. When the hypothesis of additivity is rejected, tensor product splines can be used for model building.

Robust methods for analyzing multivariate responses with application to time-course data
… of three parts. The first part develops a robust score test for linear models by a modification of the well-known Rao's score test based on Huber's M estimator. The test statistic is asymptotically normal, and the simulation study suggests that the test has higher power in the presence of outliers …

Essays on testing spatial models
"This thesis mainly develops robust Rao’s score tests (Lagrange multiplier (LM) tests) for different types of spatial models. The models studied in this thesis include a spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) model and a nonlinear SAR (NSAR) model. The proposed test is aiming to solve model selection …

Three essays in spatial econometrics
… parameters through their respective Fisher-Rao score evaluated under joint null and thus requiring estimation of the simplest model. In Chapter 4, I develop on the theoretical foundation of Chapter 3, by proposing the size-robust tests for dynamic panel models with dynamic space-time …
