Résumé :
Semiparametric efficient methods in causal inference have been developed to robustly and efficiently estimate causal parameters. As in general causal estimation, the methods rely on a set of mathematical assumptions that translate into requirements of causal knowledge and confounder identification. Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) methodology has been developed as a potential improvement on efficient estimating equations, in that it shares the qualities of double robustness (unbiasedness under partial misspecification) and semiparametric efficiency, but can be constructed to provi

Résumé :
<p> The adverse effects of air pollution on human life is of serious concern for today&rsquo;s society. Two population groups that are especially vulnerable to air pollution are pregnant women and their growing fetuses, and the focus of this thesis is to study the effects of air pollution on these populations. In order to address the methodological limitations in prior research, we quantify the impact of air pollution on various adverse pregnancy outcomes, utilizing machine learning and novel causal inference methods.

Résumé :
When using visual and proprioceptive information to plan a reach, it has been proposed that the brain combines these cues to estimate the object and/or limb’s location. Specifically, according to the maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) model, more reliable sensory inputs are assigned a greater weight (Ernst & Banks, 2002). In this research we examined if the brain is able to adjust which sensory cue it weights the most. Specifically, we asked if the brain changes how it weights sensory information when the availability of a visual cue is manipulated. Twenty-four healthy subjects reached to v

Résumé :
Multi-state models can be used to analyse processes where change of status over time is of interest. In medical research, processes are commonly defined by a set of living states and a dead state. Transition times between living states are often interval censored. In this case, models are usually formulated in a Markov processes framework. The likelihood function is then constructed using transition probabilities. Models are specified using proportional hazards for the effect of covariates on transition intensities. Time-dependency is usually defined by parametric models, which can represent a

Résumé :
This thesis examines some effects of fitting the wrong distribution to reliability data. The parametric analysis of any data usually assumes that the form of the underlying distribution is known. In practice, however, the choice of distribution is subject to error, so the analysis could involve estimating parameters from a mis-specified model. In this thesis, we consider theoretical and practical aspects of maximum likelihood estimation under such mis-specification. Due to its popularity and wide use, we take the Weibull distribution to be the mis-specified model, and look at the effects of fi

In evolutionary biology, genetic sequences carry with them a trace of the underlying tree that describes their evolution from a common ancestral sequence.

We investigate some curious cases in which different methods like Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and distance-based methods lead to different trees. Moreover, we state that in some cases, ancestral sequences can be more reliably reconstructed when some of the leaves of the tree are ignored - even if these leaves are close to the root.

This thesis deals with computational and theoretical aspects of maximum likelihood estimation for data from a mixture model and a hidden Markov model.

The proof of this result consists of establishing consistency results concerning maximum likelihood estimators (which have unrestricted number of components) and constrained maximum likelihoo

The results contain precise mathematical information on the order of approximation. The results enable the analysis of the covariance structure of cml-estimates when the number of items is large.

Résumé :
Estimation methods such as the Kalman filter identify best state estimates based on certain optimality criteria using a model of the system and the observations. A common assumption underlying the estimation is that the noise is Gaussian. In practical systems though, one quite frequently encounters thick-tailed, non-Gaussian noise. Statistically, contamination by this type of noise can be seen as inducing outliers among the data and leads to significant degradation in the KF. While many nonlinear methods to cope with non-Gaussian noise exist, a filter that is robust in the presence of outliers

Financial time series studies indicate that the lognormal assumption for the return of an underlying security is often violated in practice. This is due to the presence of time-varying volatility in the return series. The most common departures are due to a fat left-tail of the return distribution, volatility clustering or persistence, and asymmetry of the volatility. To account for these characteristics of time-varying volatility, many volatility models have been proposed and studied in the financial time series literature.
