Topics in objective bayesian methodology and spatio-temporal models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Three distinct but related topics contribute my work in objective Bayesian methodology and spatio-temporal models. This dissertation starts with the ...
Bayesian spatial analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark Forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bayesian hierarchical framework brings more flexibility by accounting for variation from different levels and improves the estimation of parameters ...
Spatially adaptive priors for regression and spatial modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The smoothing splines and penalized regression splines (P-splines) are popular nonparametric regression methods for curve fitting problems, and the ...
Semiparametric analysis of multivariate longitudinal data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Longitudinal studies are conducted widely in fields such as agriculture and life sciences, business and industry, demography and other social sciences, ...
Bayesian hierarchical models for the recognition-memory experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Bayesian hierarchical probit models are developed for analyzing the data from the recognition-memory experiment in Psychology. Both informative priors ...
A mixed model for variance of successive difference of stationary time series : modeling temporal instability in intensive longitudinal data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Temporal instability of a stochastic process has been of interest in many areas of behavioral and social science. Recent development in data collection techniques in behavioral and health sciences, such as Ecological ...
