1. Calibration Adjustment for Nonresponse in Sample Surveys
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we discuss calibration estimation in the presence of nonresponse with a focus on the linear calibration estimator and the propensity calibration estimator, along with the use of different levels of auxiliary information, that is, sample and population levels. This is a fourpapers- based thesis, two of which discuss estimation in two steps. LÄS MER
2. Nonlinear Quantile Regression for Longitudinal Data
Sammanfattning : The overall objective of the two papers in this thesis is to examine the properties of the weighted nonlinear quantile regression estimator for the analysis of longitudinal data. To this end, the question of which weights to be used, the bias of the estimator and the possibility to calculate confidence intervals has to be examined. LÄS MER
3. Bilinear Regression and Second Order Calibration
Sammanfattning : We consider calibration of second-order (or "hyphenated") instruments for chemical analysis. Many such instruments generate bilinear two-way (matrix) type data for each specimen. The bilinear regression model is to be estimated from a number of specimens of known composition. LÄS MER
4. On variance estimation for the two-phase regression estimator
Sammanfattning : Regression estimation under two-phase sampling is a cost-effective technique for estimating a finite population total. This dissertation consists of four papers, summarized in an introductory chapter, all of which focus on the use of auxiliary information in estimating the variance of the generalted regression estimator under two-phase sampling.

5. Order restricted inference over countable preordered sets. Statistical aspects of neutron detection
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers. In the first paper, we study the isotonic regression estimator over a general countable preordered set. We obtain the limiting distribution of the estimator and study its properties. Also, it is shown that the isotonisation preserves the rate of convergence of the underlying estimator. LÄS MER
