Many random variables have a skewed distribution with heteroscedastic variance.For example, the health care of a subject shares such the features. Due to these features, it is difficult to analyze such the data, such as prediction of health care costs for patients. In this talk, I will introduce some new methods for the analysis of such data. These new mehods include: (1) a semi-parametric two-part heteroscedastic transformation model, (2) a quantile regression model, (3) a non-parametric heteroscedastic transformation regression model, (4) a semi-parametric two-part mixed-effects heteroscedastic transformation model, (5) a double robust estimator of average causal treatment effect for censored medical cost data, and (6) a semiparametric regression model for lifetime medical cost.
