The varying-coefficient model is flexible and powerful for modeling the dynamic changes of regression coefficients. It is important to identify significant covariates associated with response variables, especially for high-dimensional settings where the number of covariates can be larger than the sample size. We consider model selection in the high-dimensional setting...
We propose generalized additive partial linear models for complex data
which allow one to capture nonlinear patterns of some covariates, in the presence
of linear components. The proposed method improves estimation efficiency
and increases statistical power for correlated data through incorporating
the correlation information. A unique feature of the proposed...

Age variation in reproductive performance is well-documented but the mechanisms underlying this variation remain unclear. Foraging efficiency is likely to be a key source of demographic variation as it determines the amount of energy that can be invested in fitness-related activities. Evidence of age related changes in the foraging efficiency...
This publication is a compilation of vegetable variety trial notes from field trials conducted in summer 2010. It contains information on a wide variety of vegetables and focuses on quality characteristics and adaptability to western Oregon.
We present a new nitrogen isotope model incorporated into the three-dimensional ocean component of a global Earth system climate model designed for millennial timescale simulations. The model includes prognostic tracers for the two stable nitrogen isotopes, 14N and 15N, in the nitrate (NO3−), phytoplankton, zooplankton, and detritus variables of the...
More than 280 species of caddisflies (Trichoptera), representing 80
genera in 16 families, are known to occur in Oregon. Detailed distribution
records within the state are given, as well as the known geographic range
for each species. Biological information, such as life cycle, habitat
preference, flight period, and larval feeding...
Ocean circulation is an important component in Earth's climate system. Predicting future climate and circulation changes requires an improved understanding of the past relationship between climate and ocean currents. The neodymium isotope composition (εNd) of water masses is frequently used as a quasi-conservative tracer to reconstruct ocean circulation. The current...
