Abstract:
I consider statistical modelling of data gathered by photographic identification in mark-recapture studies and propose a new method that incorporates the inherent uncertainty of photographic identification in the estimation of abundance, survival and recruitment. A hierarchical model is proposed which accepts scores assigned to pairs of photographs by pattern recognition algorithms as data and allows for uncertainty in matching photographs based on these scores. The new models incorporate latent capture histories that are treated as unknown random variables informed by the data, contrasting pa

Abstract:
Informed economic decisions are made on the basis of accounting data. It is therefore crucial to have rigorous and scientific approaches for measuring, modelling and forecasting accounting numbers. Dr Falta's research was motivated by two observations. Firstly, in accounting practice, decision-making often relies on subjective quantifications and forecasts of business activities and, thus, does not account for uncertainty in a rational way. Secondly, there are some academic foundations for statistical approaches to accounting, yet none has been developed carefully enough for results to p

Computer Aided Engineering driven analysis is gaining grounds in automotive industry. Prediction of brake noise using CAE techniques has become populardue to its overall low cost as compared to physical testing. However, the presence of several uncertain parameters which affect brake noise and also the lack of basic understanding about brake noise, makes it difficult to make reliable decisions based on CAE analysis. Therefore, the confidence level in CAE techniques has to be increased to ensure reliability and robustness in the CAE solutions which support design work. One such way to achieve r

Abstract:
Sequence alignment is one of the most intensely studied problems in bioinformatics, and is an important step in a wide range of analyses. An issue that has gained much attention in recent years is the fact that downstream analyses are often highly sensitive to the specific choice of alignment. One way to address this is to jointly sample alignments along with other parameters of interest. In order to extend the range of applicability of this approach, the first chapter of this thesis introduces a probabilistic evolutionary model for protein structures on a phylogenetic tree; since protein stru

The Sahel region located in Western Africa is well known for its high rainfall variability.

Vulnerability to extreme events is partly due to the fact that people are not prepared to cope with them.

Abstract:
Uncertainty analysis is an important part of system design. The formula for error propagation through a system model that is most-often cited in literature is based on a first-order Taylor series. This formula makes several important assumptions and has several important limitations that are often ignored. This thesis explores these assumptions and addresses two of the major limitations. First, the results obtained from propagating error through nonlinear systems can be wrong by one or more orders of magnitude, due to the linearization inherent in a first-order Taylor series.

Abstract:
Uncertainty in situations involving risk is frequently modelled by assuming a plausible form of probability distribution for the uncertain quantities involved, and estimating the relevant parameters of that distribution based on the knowledge and judgement of informed experts or decision makers. The distributions assumed are usually uni-modal (and often bell-shaped) around some most likely value, with the Normal, Beta, Gamma and Triangular distributions being popular choices.

Abstract:
Velocity model building is a critical step in seismic reflection data processing. An optimum velocity field can lead to well focused images in time or depth domains. Taking into account the noisy and band limited nature of the seismic data, the computed velocity field can be considered as our best estimate of a set of possible velocity fields. Hence, all the calculated depths and the images produced are just our best approximation of the true subsurface.

There is interest worldwide in applying the EN12354 model to lightweight building elements. However, lightweight elements typically do not meet the requirements of an SEA subsystem and therefore applying the EN12354 model to these elements may result in inaccurate predictions.

Nearest Neighbor (NN in short) queries are important in emerging applications, such as wireless networks, location-based services, and data stream applications, where the data obtained are often imprecise. The imprecision or imperfection of the data sources is modeled by uncertain data in recent research works. Handling uncertainty is important because this issue affects the quality of query answers. Although queries on uncertain data are useful, evaluating the queries on them can be costly, in terms of I/O or computational efficiency. In this thesis, we study how to efficiently evalua

A PV-cell of a multi-dimensional uncertain object o is a region R, such that for any point p ∈ R, o may be the nearest neighbor of p.

An important objective in statistical risk assessment is estimation of minimum exposure levels, called Benchmark Doses (BMDs) that induce a pre-specified Benchmark Response (BMR) in a target population. Established inferential approaches for BMD analysis typically involve one-sided, frequentist confidence limits, leading in practice to what are called Benchmark Dose Lower Limits (BMDLs). Appeal to hierarchical Bayesian modeling and credible limits for building BMDLs is far less developed, however.

Hazardous waste site remediation cost estimation requires a good estimate of the contaminated soil volume.

The underlying statistical theory is that they are more accurate than deterministic estimates because probabilistic estimates account for data uncertainties.

Abstract:
<div>This work aims to provide solutions to two significant issues in the effective use and practical application of tensor completion as a machine learning method. The first solution addresses the challenge in designing fast and accurate recovery methods in tensor completion in the presence of highly sparse and highly missing data. The second takes on the need for robust uncertainty quantification methods for the recovered tensor.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Covariate-assisted Sparse Tensor Completion</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>In the first part of the dissertation, we aim to provabl

Abstract:
Models governing stochasticity in various systems are typically calibrated from data, therefore are subject to statistical errors/uncertainties which can lead to inferior decision making. This thesis develops statistically and computationally efficient data-driven methods for problems in stochastic simulation and optimization to quantify and hedge impacts of these uncertainties. The first half of the thesis focuses on efficient methods for tackling input uncertainty which refers to the simulation output variability arising from the statistical noise in specifying the input models.

Abstract:
Realistic physical-biological ocean models pose challenges to statistical techniques due to their complexity, nonlinearity and high dimensionality. In this thesis, statistical data assimilation techniques for parameter and state estimation are adapted and applied to biological models. These methods rely on quantitative measures of agreement between models and observations. Eight such measures are compared and a suitable multiscale measure is selected for data assimilation. Build on this, two data assimilation approaches, a particle filter and a computationally efficient emulator approach are t

Abstract:
This work employs statistical and Bayesian techniques to analyze mathematical forward models with several sources of uncertainty. The forward models usually arise from phenomenological and physical phenomena and are expressed through regression-based models or partial differential equations (PDEs) associated with uncertain parameters and input data. One of the critical challenges in real-world applications is to quantify uncertainties of the unknown parameters using observations. To this purpose, methods based on the likelihood function, and Bayesian techniques constitute the two main statisti

[ES] La cuantificación de la incertidumbre predictiva es de vital importancia para producir predicciones hidrológicas confiables que soporten y apoyen la toma de decisiones en el marco de la gestión de los recursos hídricos. Los post-procesadores hidrológicos son herramientas adecuadas para estimar la incertidumbre predictiva de las predicciones hidrológicas (salidas del modelo hidrológico). El objetivo general de esta tesis es mejorar los métodos de post-procesamiento hidrológico para estimar la incertidumbre predictiva de caudales mensuales.
