About my work

I have a PhD in Statistics from The University of Manchester where I worked on “Smoothing splines with unknown change-points in responses for longitudinal and spatial data” supervised by Professor Jianxin Pan. Among others, the key novel ideas of this work are:

• Approximations to multidimensional smoothing and additive models.
• Interpolation methods (smoothing) for dependent data (longitudinal, time series, spatial).
• Estimation of curves and surfaces when unknown change-points or contours of change are present.
• Estimation of these models based on bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches using mixed models.
• Tests for linearity and planarity.
