In Chapter 5, we prove two other equations on page 45 of Ramanujan's lost notebook by using the Bauer-Muir transformation and by using the method of successive approximation. Also, we prove several continued fractions of ...

We study tau-functions given as matrix elements for the action of loop groups, $\widehat{GL_n}$ on $n$-component fermionic Fock space. In the simplest case, $n=2$, the tau-functions are equal to Hankel determinants and ...

The bc1 complex of the electron transport chain is critical to production of ATP through the proton gradient driven by quinone oxidation; a ubiquitous mechanism for energy conversion throughout the biosphere. In addition ...

Response of the CHS gene family to the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae was studied in leaves of the cultivar Williams (ii) that suppresses CHS expression in the seed coats. Interestingly, significant accumulation of CHS7/CHS8 ...

We tested whether the gene expression of dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsr mRNA), a critical enzyme in the sulfate reduction pathway, can serve as an indicator of the rate of sulfate reduction in natural systems. We ...

Quantile autoregression (QAR) provides an alternative way to study asymmetric dynamics and local persistence in time series. It is particularly attractive for censored data, where the classical autoregressive models are ...

Powell (1986) proposed a quantile regression estimator for censored regression models on the basis of equivariance of quantiles to monotone transformations. In this thesis, censored quantile regression models are generalized ...

Quantile regression extends the statistical quantities of interest beyond conditional means. The regression has been well developed for linear models but less explored for nonparametric models. In this thesis, we consider ...
