Study of a family of asymmetric densities and flexible quantile regression KU Leuven
Probability distributions are fundamental tools for data analysis and statistical inference. Although often a symmetric distribution is used as a reference density for statistical modelling, it is unsuitable for multiple other applications. In this dissertation, we study a broad family of asymmetric distributions that can describe skewed data properly. A symmetric density is a special element in this family of densities. Based on the proposed ...
Synthesis and characterization of polyoligosiloxysilicones KU Leuven
Silicon-based materials are of vital importance in today’s society. From the sand and clay dug up from the Earth to be used in construction, to the highly purified forms used in the production of electronics, computers and medical implants, the chemical element Si has found its way into nearly every aspect of our lives. Nevertheless, our highly technological world is fueled by an ever-lasting quest for progress. This search continuously ...

Identification of novel genetic and epigenetic mechanisms involved in the etiopathogenesis of orofacial clefts by means of exome sequencing, searching for DNA elements and p63 transcription factor binding sites KU Leuven
Cleft lip/palate (CL/P) is one of the most common birth defects in man (1 in 700 live births) and arises through a combination of genetic susceptibility factors andinfluences of / exposures to environmental risk factors in utero. In the identification of genetic causes of CL/P, only a limited number of cases is expected to be explained by mutations in the coding regions. These are presumed to be present in families with multiple OFC affected ...
