Rank-Based Semiparametric Methods: Covariate-Adjusted Spearman's Correlation with Probability-Scale Residuals and Cumulative Probability Models
In this dissertation, we develop semiparametric rank-based methods. These types of methods are particularly useful with skewed data, nonlinear relationships, and truncated measurements. Semiparametric rank-based methods can achieve a good balance between robustness and efficiency. The first part of...
