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 ...

Novel Algorithms on Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We consider the problem of ranging with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths propagation environments and additive Gaussian noise. We propose a Bayesian detection algorithm where the prior distribution of the channel follows ...

A MAP Approach to Noise Compensation of Speech

Philip Neil Garner

We show that estimation of parameters for the popular Gaussian model of speech in noise can be regularised in a Bayesian sense by use of simple prior distributions. For two example prior distributions, we show that the marginal distribution of the uncorrup ...

One Step Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand Positioning Algorithm

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, John Farserotu, Hai Zhan

We consider the problem of positioning estimation with impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) radio under dense multipaths and additive Gaussian noise environments. Most popular positioning algorithms first estimate certain parameters (such as time of arr ...

On the calibration of hydrological models in ungauged basins: A framework for integrating hard and soft hydrological information

Bettina Schaefli

This paper presents a calibration framework based on the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) that can be used to condition hydrological model parameter distributions in scarcely gauged river basins, where data is uncertain, intermittent or ...

Sufficient-Statistics Based Multiple Access over Wireless Fading Channels

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this work, we study a communication scheme in which nodes transmit sufficient statistics of their observations over non-orthogonal medium access channels for distributed estimation. This scheme unifies and generalizes several multiple access schemes suc ...

Les mathématiques financières robustes, le maritime et les FFA

Jérôme Reboulleau

Powerful mathematical tools have been developed for trading in stocks and bonds, but other markets that are equally important for the globalized world have to some extent been neglected. We decided to study the shipping market as an new area of development ...

Hierarchical Multi-Stream Posterior Based Speech Recognition System

Hervé Bourlard, Samy Bengio, Hamed Ketabdar

In this paper, we present initial results towards boosting posterior based speech recognition systems by estimating more informative posteriors using multiple streams of features and taking into account acoustic context (e.g., as available in the whole utt ...

General state-space models

Thomas Gsponer

In time series analysis state-space models provide a wide and flexible class. The basic idea is to describe an unobservable phenomenon of interest on the basis of noisy data. The first constituent of such a model is the so-called state equation, which char ...
