PROJECTS:

Comparison of methods regarding multiple linear regression model with missing value

Examined the results from forward regression model selection method in SAS and analyze the algorithm

of this procedure to find the reason why listwise deletion occurs under this settings.

Devised a macro based forward model selection method based on forward selection algorithm.

Checked the accuracy, stability and reliability of this new method using multiple linear regression model

with relatively random missing values within each independent variable.

Produced results from multiple imputation under the same settings with MCMC approach.

Compared three methods by simulating data from normal distribution with classified missing percentage

and model coefficients. Corresponding results are presented in professional tables.

Forecasted potential challenges when applying this method for practical use in real world.

Empirical Likelihood Ratio Tests Based On Linear Regression

Devised a way to combine the empirical likelihood ratio tests with linear regressions

Studied the best number of constraints for linear regression model where we obtain the best power and

appropriate type one error with fixed sample size and data distribution

Interpretation of ANOVA Models for Microarray data using PCA

Devised a way for ANOVA Analysis of microarray data and Selecting genes based on P values

Improved the interpretation of the results from ANOVA on large microarray datasets by applying PCA on

the individual variance components

Visualized the interaction effect using biplot.
