Principal Differential Analysis with Covariates for Functional Data The major goals of this project are to extend principal differential analysis for a random sample of curves, to include adjustments for a vector of patient covariates. The methodology will be used for analysis of ABR and CAEP curves in auditory research. 3P20MD002287-05S1 (PI-Provencio-Vasquez) 9/1/2011-8/31/2013 .90 Y2 academic NIH Hispanic Health Disparities Research The Hispanic Health Disparities Research Center (HHDRC) is a partnership between the University of Texas at El Paso and the University of Texas Health Science Center Houston/School of Public Health. This Revision application proposes the expansion of the scope of the existing HHDRC by integrating a new thematic Core focused on Environment. The long term goal is to better understand and address determinants of environmental health disparities for heterogeneous Mexican-origin and Hispanic populations through research, capacity building and outreach activities. Staniswalis serves as faculty collaborator with responsibilities in Year 2 (Y2) of the grant. OVERLAP There is no scientific or budgetary overlap.
