Higher-order asymptotics provide accurate approximations for use in parametric statistical modelling. In this thesis, we investigate using higher-order approximations in two-specific settings, with a particular emphasis on the tangent exponential model. Th ...
Non-parametric probabilistic classification models are increasingly being investigated as an
alternative to Discrete Choice Models (DCMs), e.g. for predicting mode choice. There exist many strategies within the literature for model selection between DCMs, ...
The discrete cosine transform (DCT) is known to be asymptotically equivalent to the Karhunen-Loève transform (KLT) of Gaussian first-order auto-regressive (AR(1)) processes. Since being uncorrelated under the Gaussian hypothesis is synonymous with independ ...
Global warming is expected to intensify the hydrologic cycle. Documenting whether significant changes in the extreme precipitation regimes have already happened is consequently one of the challenging topics in climatic research. The high natural variabilit ...
The topic of this thesis is the development of new reconstruction methods for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Cryo-EM has revolutionized the field of structural biology over the last decade and now permits the regular discovery of biostructures. Yet, t ...
Extreme value theory provides an asymptotically justified framework for estimation of exceedance probabilities in regions where few or no observations are available. For multivariate tail estimation, the strength of extremal dependence is crucial and it is ...
This paper presents a method enabling the evaluation of the averaging fault-tolerant technique, using the output probability density functions (PDFs) of unreliable units which are acquired from Monte Carlo simulations. The method has been verified by compa ...
In this thesis, we investigate the use of posterior probabilities of sub-word units directly as input features for automatic speech recognition (ASR). These posteriors, estimated from data-driven methods, display some favourable properties such as increase ...

The precise evaluation of the reliability of logic circuits has a significant importance in highly-defective and future nanotechnologies. It allows efficient comparison of fault-tolerance techniques, and enables designs improvement with respect to their re ...
