Abstract:

Due to their flexibility and easy implementation, various semiparametric models have been used more often in recent biological and medical studies. These models allow underlying trends of the responses to be unspecified and nonparametric. In this talk, I will discuss recent applications of non- and semiparametric modeling (e.g., a membrane protein clustering tendency investigation). Theoretical support behind the methods will be discussed briefly. I also will use examples and simulations to illustrate the connections between the theoretical findings and their implication in applications.
