We present an inverse modeling procedure for the estimation of model parameters of sedimentary basins subject to compaction driven by mechanical and geochemical processes. We consider a sandstone basin whose dynamics are governed by a set of unknown key qu ...
We study a new image sensor that is reminiscent of traditional photographic film. Each pixel in the sensor has a binary response, giving only a one-bit quantized measurement of the local light intensity. To analyze its performance, we formulate the oversam ...

We report the selective detection of single nitric oxide (NO) mols. using a specific DNA sequence of d(AT)15 oligonucleotides, adsorbed to an array of near-IR fluorescent semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (AT15-SWNT). While SWNT suspended with ...
The increased accessibility of data that are geographically referenced and correlated increases the demand for techniques of spatial data analysis. The subset of such data comprised of discrete counts exhibit particular difficulties and the challenges furt ...
In this thesis, we treat robust estimation for the parameters of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, which are the mean, the variance, and the friction. We start by considering classical maximum likelihood estimation. For the simulation study, where we also in ...
Max-stable processes are the natural analogues of the generalized extreme-value distribution when modelling extreme events in space and time. Under suitable conditions, these processes are asymptotically justified models for maxima of independent replicati ...
This paper proposes a dimension reduction technique for estimation in linear mixed models. Specifically, we show that in a linear mixed model, the maximum-likelihood (ML) problem can be rewritten as a substantially simpler optimization problem which presen ...
Olfactometer experiments are used to study the responses of arthropods to potential attractants, for purposes such as understanding natural defenses of plants against their herbivores. Such experiments typically lead to multivariate data consisting of smal ...

This thesis tackles new challenges associated with the disaggregate modeling of the human behavior. Decision-aid tools help in making decisions, by providing quantitative insights on the decisions and associated consequences. They are useful in complex sit ...
