Continuous-Time Models of Arrival Times and Optimization Methods for Variable Selection 

Lindon, Michael Scott (2018)
This thesis naturally divides itself into two sections. The first two chapters concernthe development of Bayesian semi-parametric models for arrival times. Chapter 2considers Bayesian inference for a Gaussian process modulated ...

Tailored Scalable Dimensionality Reduction 

van den Boom, Willem (2018)
Although there is a rich literature on scalable methods for dimensionality reduction, the focus has been on widely applicable approaches which, in certain applications, are far from optimal or not even applicable. Dimensionality ...

Advances in Bayesian Modeling of Protein Structure Evolution 

Larson, Gary (2018)
This thesis contributes to a statistical modeling framework for protein sequence and structure evolution. An existing Bayesian model for protein structure evolution is extended in two unique ways. Each of these model extensions ...

Gaussian Process-Based Models for Clinical Time Series in Healthcare 

Futoma, Joseph David (2018)
Clinical prediction models offer the ability to help physicians make better data-driven decisions that can improve patient outcomes. Given the wealth of data available with the widespread adoption of electronic health records, ...

Finite Sample Bounds and Path Selection for Sequential Monte Carlo 

Marion, Joseph (2018)
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers have received attention as an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo for Bayesian inference problems due to their strong empirical performance on difficult multimodal problems, natural ...

Topic Modeling for Inferring Brain States from Electroencephalography (EEG) Signals 

Prabhudesai, Kedar (2018)
Inferring brain states from EEG signals allows for the management of sleep disorders and brain diseases by providing an insight into the electrophysiological state of the brain. We explore the use of topic modeling – which ...

Towards Better Representations with Deep/Bayesian Learning 

Li, Chunyuan (2018)
Deep learning and Bayesian Learning are two popular research topics in machine learning. They provide the flexible representations in the complementary manner. Therefore, it is desirable to take the best from both fields. ...

Algorithms with Applications to Anthropology 

Ravier, Robert James (2018)
In this dissertation, we investigate several problems in shape analysis. We start by discussing the shape matching problem. Given that homeomorphisms of shapes are computed in practice by interpolating sparse correspondence, ...

Compressive Sensing in Transmission Electron Microscopy 

Stevens, Andrew (2018)
Electron microscopy is one of the most powerful tools available in observational science. Magnifications of 10,000,000x have been achieved with picometer precision. At this high level of magnification, individual atoms are ...

Bayesian Parameter Estimation for Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions 

Bernhard, Jonah (2018)
I develop and apply a Bayesian method for quantitatively estimating properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extremely hot and dense state of fluid-like matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.The QGP cannot ...
