Bayesian Joint Modeling of Interrater and Intrarater Reliability with Multilevel Data. Asian Journal of Statistics and Applications, 1(1), 85-99. PDF DOI
In collaboration with my PhD student, Nour Hawila, we introduce three Bayesian models for jointly analyzing interrater and intrarater reliability in multilevel data. These models, implemented in Stan, provide improved reliability estimates and explore the properties of different agreement measures through comparisons of kappa estimates and marginal correlations, using simulations and real-world datasets. This project originated from an earlier project with Family & Community Medicine investigators that was published in Sports Medicine.

A bootstrap test for time series linearity. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 140(12), 3841-3857. PDF DOI

Bootstrap bandwidth selection for a smooth survival function estimator from censored data. Journal of Statistical Research, 44(2), 207-217. PDF
In this paper we propose a new estimator for the survival function that uses the so-called Peterson representation of the survival function and establish its strong consistency. A bandwidth selection procedure based on Efron’s censored bootstrap accompanies the estimator.

CDF and survival function estimation with infinite-order kernels. Electronic Journal of Statistics, 3, 1436-1454. PDF DOI
In this paper I build on the ideas of deficiency as originally introduced by Hodges and Lehman in their 1970 Annals paper by developing the concept of a deficiency rate and apply it in the context of CDF and survival function estimation with infinite-order kernels. Utilizing tools learned from my PhD studies in Mathematics, I embraced the mathematical theory of generalized functions to prove some of the theorems in this paper.
