Three Examples of Accurate Likelihood Inference

Anthony Christopher Davison

The modern theory of likelihood inference provides improved inferences in many parametric models, with little more effort than is required for application of standard first-order theory. We outline the relevant computations, and illustrate the calculations ...

Modelling human perception of static facial expressions

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gianluca Antonini, Thomas Robin, Javier Cruz Mota, Matteo Sorci

A recent internet based survey of over 35'000 samples has shown that when different human observers are asked to assign labels to static human facial expressions, different individuals categorize differently the same image. This fact results in a lack of a ...

Statistical analysis of clusters of extreme events

Mária Süveges

The thesis is a contribution to extreme-value statistics, more precisely to the estimation of clustering characteristics of extreme values. One summary measure of the tendency to form groups is the inverse average cluster size. In extreme-value context, th ...

Stochastic modelling of prey depletion processes

Anthony Christopher Davison

The modelling of prey-predator interactions is of major importance for the understanding of population dynamics. Classically, these interactions are modelled using ordinary differential equations, but this has the drawbacks of assuming continuous populatio ...

A Laplace mixture model for the identification of differential expression in microarrays

Anthony Christopher Davison, Darlene Goldstein

Microarrays have become an important tool for studying the molecular basis of complex disease traits and fundamental biological processes. A common purpose of microarray experiments is the detection of genes that are differentially expressed under two cond ...

Forensic automatic speaker recognition using Bayesian interpretation and statistical compensation for mismatched conditions

Anil Alexander

Nowadays, state-of-the-art automatic speaker recognition systems show very good performance in discriminating between voices of speakers under controlled recording conditions. However, the conditions in which recordings are made in investigative activities ...
