Abstract:

This study investigates what young people and community organisations see as their support needs in Bayelsa State of Nigeria in “tackling poverty. It also examines the process of influencing policy makers, using social marketing techniques. It seeks to expand understanding of the poverty elimination processes: not only within a developing country’s rural environmental context, but also endeavours to generalize the findings more broadly. It seeks an inclusive approach to policy determination driven by involving grassroots levels. A mixed-methods research design was adopted engaging a quantitati

Abstract:

It is suggested to discriminate between different state space models for a given time series by means of a Bayesian approach which chooses the model that minimizes the expected loss. Practical implementation of this procedures requires a fully Bayesian analysis for both the state vector and the unknown hyperparameters which is carried out by Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Application to some non-standard situations such as testing hypotheses on the boundary of the parameter space, discriminating non-nested models and discrimination of more than two models is discussed in detail.

Abstract:

Ces travaux se focalisent sur une problématique fondamentale de la robotique autonome: l'estimation d'état. En effet, la plupart des approches actuelles permettant à un robot autonome de réaliser une tâche requièrent tout d'abord l'extraction d'une information d'état à partir de mesures capteurs bruitées. Ce vecteur d'état contient un ensemble de variables caractérisant le système à un instant t, comme la position du robot, sa vitesse, etc. En robotique comme dans de nombreux autres domaines, le filtrage bayésien est devenu la solution la plus populaire pour estimer l'état d'un système de faço

Abstract:

It is a standard practice in small area estimation (SAE) to use a model-based approach to borrow information from neighboring areas or from areas with similar characteristics. However, survey data tend to have gaps, ties and outliers, and parametric models may be problematic because statistical inference is sensitive to parametric assumptions. We propose nonparametric hierarchical Bayesian models for multi-stage finite population sampling to robustify the inference and allow for heterogeneity, outliers, skewness, etc. Bayesian predictive inference for SAE is studied by embedding a parametric

Abstract:

Model diagnostics for normal and non-normal state space models is based on recursive residuals which are defined from the one-step ahead predictive distribution. Routine calculation of these residuals is discussed in detail. Various tools of diagnostics are suggested to check e.g. for wrong observation distributions and for autocorrelation. The paper also covers such topics as model diagnostics for discrete time series, model diagnostics for generalized linear models, and model discrimination via Bayes factors.

Abstract:

In the early days of the twentieth century when vaudeville was the most popular theatrical entertainment in America, there were a number of female singers who became its star performers. In the process of conducting preliminary research for a dissertation topic on female singers of this era, it quickly became evident that while much has been written about opera singers of that era, only limited material was available on female vaudeville singers. Furthermore, the small amount of information which was available was so randomly scattered among various sources that it was difficult to perceive a

Over the past decade, population-based cancer registry data have been used increasingly worldwide to evaluate and improve the quality of cancer care.

Abstract:

Modern medical practice and science involve complex phenotypic definitions. Understanding patterns of association across this range of phenotypes requires co-analysis of high-dimensional association studies in order to characterise shared and distinct elements. In this thesis I address several problems in this area, with a general linking aim of making more efficient use of available data. The main application of these methods is in the analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and similar studies. Firstly, I developed methodology for a Bayesian conditional false discovery rate (cFDR)

Abstract:

This thesis presents work around 3 themes: dark energy, gravitational waves and Bayesian inference. Both dark energy and gravitational wave physics are not yet well constrained. They present interesting challenges for Bayesian inference, which attempts to quantify our knowledge of the universe given our astrophysical data. A dark energy equation of state reconstruction analysis finds that the data favours the vacuum dark energy equation of state $w {=} -1$ model. Deviations from vacuum dark energy are shown to favour the super-negative ‘phantom’ dark energy regime of $w {< } -1$, but at low st

Abstract:

Recollection is a pattern completion process that enables retrieval of arbitrarily associated information following minimal study. These attributes enable recollection to support retrieval of many kinds of mnemonic representations, from highly associative contextual information to very specific low-level representations. However, recollection is typically studied in the context of declarative memory tasks, in which participants exhibit recollection by explicitly reporting on the recollected information. Is it the case that recollection is limited to declarable representations, or is it a more

Abstract:

<p>As a growing number of agents are deployed in complex environments for scientific research and human well-being, there are increasing demands for designing efficient learning algorithms for these agents to improve their control polices. Such policies must account for uncertainties, including those caused by environmental stochasticity, sensor noise and communication restrictions. These challenges exist in missions such as planetary navigation, forest firefighting, and underwater exploration. Ideally, good control policies should allow the agents to deal with all the situations in an environ

ADEs can be either induced by a single drug or a drug-drug interaction (DDI). In order to prevent unnecessary ADEs, many regulatory agencies in public health maintain pharmacovigilance databases for detecting novel drug-ADE associations. However, pharmacovigilance databases usually contain a significant portion of false associations due to their nature structure (i.e. false drug-ADE associations caused by co-medications). Besides ph

One important aspect of this regulation is the interaction between regulatory proteins, such as transcription factors (TF) and nucleosomes, and the genome. Different high-throughput techniques have been invented to map these interactions genome-wide, including ChIP-based methods (ChIP-chip, ChIP-seq, etc.), nuclease digestion methods (DNase-seq, MNase-seq, etc.), and others. However, a single experimental technique often only provides partial and noisy information about the whole picture of protein-DNA interac
