DESCRIPTION:The talk contains three parts: In part one\, we illustrate a s
 emiparametric approach in estimating parameters in variance function. An i
 llustrational example is the Leukemia study data. In part two\, we demonst
 rate the properties of a semiparametric estimator in estimating a function
 al. The method is illustrated in an "Eating at the America's Tables" study
 . The difference and link of the underlying geometric structure is illustr
 ated in part three. \n\n
