Abstract:
Various models driven by a hidden Markov chain in discrete or continuous time are developed to capture the stylised features of market variables whose levels or values constitute as the underliers of financial derivative contracts or investment portfolios. Since the parameters are switching regimes, the changes and developments in the economy as soon as they arise are readily reflected in these models. The change of probability measure technique and the EM algorithm are fundamental techniques utilised in the optimal parameter estimation. Recursive adaptive filters for the state of the Markov c

Abstract:
A robust and reliable noise estimation algorithm is required in many speech enhancement systems. The aim of this thesis is to propose and evaluate a robust noise estimation algorithm for highly non-stationary noisy environments. In this work, we model the non-stationary noise using a set of discrete states with each state representing a distinct noise power spectrum. In this approach, the state sequence over time is conveniently represented by a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In this thesis, we first present an online HMM re-estimation framework that models time-varying noise using a Hidden Markov

Abstract:
This dissertation introduces work on face recognition using a novel technique based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). Through the integration of a priori structural knowledge with statistical information, HMMs can be used successfully to encode face features. The results reported are obtained using a database of images of 40 subjects, with 5 training images and 5 test images for each. It is shown how standard one-dimensional HMMs in the shape of top-bottom models can be parameterised, yielding successful recognition rates of up to around 85%. The insights gained from top-bottom models are extend

In this thesis, we investigate two di erent approaches to animal movement modelling; nite mixture models, and di usion processes.

We consider the application of mixture models to home range movement data, and compare their performance with kernel density estimators commonly used for this purpose.

Abstract:
In modern computer systems, workload varies at different times and locations. It is important to model the performance of such systems via workload models that are both representative and efficient. For example, model-generated workloads represent realistic system behaviour, especially during peak times, when it is crucial to predict and address performance bottlenecks. In this thesis, we model performance, namely throughput and delay, using adaptive models and discrete queues.

Multi-site statistical models for daily rainfall should account for spatial and temporal dependence amongst measurements and also allow for the event of no rain. Recent research into climate change and variability has sparked interest in the relationship between rainfall and climate, stimulating the development of statistical models that relate large-scale atmospheric variables to local precipitation. Although modelling daily rainfall presents a challenging and topical problem, there have been few attempts taking a subjective Bayesian approach. This thesis is concerned with developing hidden M

Abstract:
The hidden state Markov (HSM) model is introduced as a new conceptual framework for modelling long-term persistence in hydrological time series. Unlike the stochastic models currently used, the conceptual basis of the HSM model can be related to the physical processes that influence long-term hydrological time series in the Australian climatic regime. A Bayesian approach was used for model calibration. This enabled rigourous evaluation of parameter uncertainty, which proved crucial for the interpretation of the results. Applying the single site HSM model to rainfall data from selected Australi

Abstract:
This thesis studies the long-standing question about the role of transposable elements in host genomes. We put forward and study a hypothesis that transposable elements may act as evolutionary helpers, hastening the adaptation of the host organism to a new environment, while remaining inactive during periods of environmental stability.This hypothesis is analyzed by a modelling approach: we construct and study a computational model of transposable element proliferation, in conditions of environmental stress, then we show that environmental stress causes a burst of transposable element activity,

Abstract:
Many real-world systems experience deterioration with usage and age, which often leads to low product quality, high production cost, and low system availability. Most previous maintenance and reliability models in the literature do not incorporate condition monitoring information for decision making, which often results in poor failure prediction for partially observable deteriorating systems. For that reason, the development of fault prediction and control scheme using condition-based maintenance techniques has received considerable attention in recent years. This research presents a new fram
