Description
In this era of fast computational machines and new optimization algorithms, there have been great advances in Experimental Designs. We focus our research on design issues in generalized linear models (GLMs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The first part of our research is on tackling the challenging problem of constructing
exact designs for GLMs, that are robust against parameter, link and model
uncertainties by improving an existing algorithm and providing a new one, based on using a continuous particle swarm optimization (PSO) and spectral clustering. The proposed algorithm is sufficiently versatile to accomodate most popular design selection criteria, and we concentrate on providing robust designs for GLMs, using the D and A optimality criterion. The second part of our research is on providing an algorithm
that is a faster alternative to a recently proposed genetic algorithm (GA) to construct optimal designs for fMRI studies. Our algorithm is built upon a discrete version of the PSO.

Description
A distributed wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network of a large number of lowcost,multi-functional sensors with power, bandwidth, and memory constraints, operating
in remote environments with sensing and communication capabilities. WSNs
are a source for a large amount of data and due to the inherent communication and
resource constraints, developing a distributed algorithms to perform statistical parameter
estimation and data analysis is necessary. In this work, consensus based
distributed algorithms are developed for distributed estimation and processing over
WSNs. Firstly, a distributed spectral clustering algorithm to group the sensors based
on the location attributes is developed. Next, a distributed max consensus algorithm
robust to additive noise in the network is designed. Furthermore, distributed spectral
radius estimation algorithms for analog, as well as, digital communication models
are developed. The proposed algorithms work for any connected graph topologies.
Theoretical bounds are derived and simulation results supporting the theory are also
presented.
