Generalized Bradley-Terry Models for Score Estimation from Paired Comparisons

Julien René Pierre Fageot, Sadegh Farhadkhani, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Le Nguyen Hoang

Many applications, e.g. in content recommendation, sports, or recruitment, leverage the comparisons of alternatives to score those alternatives. The classical Bradley-Terry model and its variants have been widely used to do so. The historical model conside ...

An equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimator for defeaturing problems

Annalisa Buffa, Denise Grappein, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

An a posteriori error estimator based on an equilibrated flux reconstruction is proposed for defeaturing problems in the context of finite element discretizations. Defeaturing consists in the simplification of a geometry by removing features that are consi ...

Activity-based models offer the potential of a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. However, activity-based models used both in research and practice have often relied on applying sequential choice models between sub ...

Unbiased likelihood-based estimation of Wright-Fisher diffusion processes

In this paper we propose an unbiased Monte Carlo maximum likelihood estimator for discretely observed Wright-Fisher diffusions. Our approach is based on exact simulation techniques that are of special interest for diffusion processes defined on a bounded d ...

We study the problem of learning unknown parameters of stochastic dynamical models from data. Often, these models are high dimensional and contain several scales and complex structures. One is then interested in obtaining a reduced, coarse-grained descript ...

Random Surface Covariance Estimation by Shifted Partial Tracing

Victor Panaretos, Tomas Masák

The problem of covariance estimation for replicated surface-valued processes is examined from the functional data analysis perspective. Considerations of statistical and computational efficiency often compel the use of separability of the covariance, even ...

A note on efficient computation of privileged directions in modifier adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Martand Singhal

In the presence of plant-model mismatch, the estimation of plant gradients is key to the performance of measurement-based iterative optimization schemes. However, gradient estimation requires time-consuming experiments, wherein the plant is sequentially pe ...

In this report we benchmark the plane-to-plane objective quality metric. This is, a metric that measures the angular similarity of tangent planes between two point cloud models and relies on normal vectors that are carried with associated pairs of points. ...

The identification of Hawkes-like processes can pose significant challenges. Despite substantial amounts of data, standard estimation methods show significant bias or fail to converge. To overcome these issues, we propose an alternative approach based on a ...

Contributions to Likelihood-Based Modelling of Extreme Values

Léo Raymond-Belzile

xtreme value analysis is concerned with the modelling of extreme events such as floods and heatwaves, which can have large impacts. Statistical modelling can be useful to better assess risks even if, due to scarcity of measurements, there is inherently ver ...
