Abstract: Balter. Working with them has been enjoyable and rewarding. They have understood difficulties from both my research and personal life, have always been supportive and willing to provide extra help when needed. I especially thank Jeff for his guidance, support and patience before I was formally enrolled at the University of Michigan. His deep insight and passion for research and dedication to his students are amazing. James always noticed my progress and encouraged me to accomplish more. I especially thank him for giving me freedom to pursue my research interest and easy access to clinical data, and setting our meetings at EECS for my convenience when I was pregnancy. I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Alfred Hero, Prof. Charles Meyer and Prof. Neal Clinthorne for their expertise and valuable comments on this thesis. It was such an honor to have them as my thesis committee members. I would like to thank my colleagues and friends for making my stay in Ann Arbor enjoyable. Special thanks goes to Dan Ruan who has been a “big ” sister to me over the years. From helping me with course problems, to discussing research topics, to being my favorite shopping companion, her friendship and support is incredible. I thank Rongping Zeng, Yingying Zhang-O’Connor, Somesh
