to my idol, Prof. LeSage who I had a tremendous honor to meet and talk to about my research, whose comments helped clarify my own thinking, and who almost persuaded me that Bayesian analysis is the remedy to all the World's problems;  to Prof. Krzysztof Malaga, a definition of hard work and a great example to the students.  To Nicolas, with whom looking for new ideas and writing articles was fun, an unspeakable joy of creation,  for staying super attentive and excited after not closing an eye. eye during a couple of nights.  Not too an  easy task  to be a multi-task  young father. father-researcher.  To Matthieu the best supervisor you could imagine to work with, to whom I have a huge respect for not only being a great professional mentor, but especially a great human.  Finally, I am most deeply indebted to the closest ones:  to my father, the best advice-giver and the fantastic professor, who install within me a love of science, who encouraged me to change my study field from finance and banking to econometrics (thank econometrics. Thank  you for being stubborn enough at that moment in my life!); life!;  to my father (the same one) to whom I promised that I will never ever go for a PhD. He waited for a moment and said... "Oh yes, darling, you will";  to my mom for her never-ever-ending support (literally), for these thousand Whatsapp, Facebook, gmail, phone... messages per day. Dziekuje!;  to my grandma, the most energetic grandma on earth, I guess; 

... and to Camil who decided to cheerfully teethe when I was trying to finish my thesis. To Camil, the Naruro boy without whose unvarying emotional realm of love and a constant smile this thesis would have been completed in half the time.   Love you guys.  After this (short) writing worthy of your attention before the story even begins... 3,5 year that this thesis was in the making. Here're four chapters. Nearly everything I wanted is in it, and still the thesis is not full... Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts - the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation.  And on top of these are all the gratitude I have for you.  Love you guys. After these couple of words worthy or not of your attention before the story even begins... 3,5 year that this thesis was in the making. Here're four chapters. Nearly everything I intended is in it, and still the thesis is not full. Good and bad ideas are in it, pleasure of discovering, along with only a little bit of despondency. Here're four chapters through which I tried to quickly and gracefully communicate four things. Each chapter tells one story. All the stories create an image which definitely could be further being painted.              in \textbf{boldface}, \textit{italic}  (("Heart of a Goof" by P.G. Wodehouse.   "To my daughter Leonora without whose never-failing sympathy and encouragement this book would have been finished in half the time."))  ((indescribable joy of creation.))  ((And on top of these are all the gratitude I have for you.))  ((Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts - the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation.))
