In this paper, we investigate the construction of compromise estimators of location and scale, by averaging over several models selected among a specified large set of possible models. The weight given to each distribution is based on the profile likelihoo ...
In the first part of this thesis we are interested in the asymptotic performance analysis of Non-Binary Low-Density Parity-Check (NBLDPC) codes over the Binary Erasure Channel (BEC) decoded via the suboptimal Belief Propagation (BP) decoder as well as the ...
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 ...
Probabilistic databases, in particular ones that allow users to externally define models or probability distributions – so called VG-Functions – are an ideal tool for constructing, simulating and analyzing hypothetical business scenarios. Enterprises often ...
Mixture models form the essential basis of data clustering within a statistical framework. Here, the estimation of the parameters of a mixture of Gaussian densities is considered. In this particular context, it is well known that the maximum likelihood app ...
The limitations of client/server systems become evident in an Internet-scale distributed environment. Peer-topeer (P2P) systems offer an interesting alternative to traditional client/server systems: Every node acts both as a client and a server and “ ...
BACKGROUND: High-density oligonucleotide arrays (HDONAs) are a powerful tool for assessing differential mRNA expression levels. To establish the statistical significance of an observed change in expression, one must take into account the noise introduced b ...
This thesis is concerned with enabling e-commerce applications in decentralized environments, P2P networks in particular. The work goes along the following two dimensions: P2P reputation systems design and building P2P e-commerce services and applications. ...
Biometric authentication is a process of verifying an identity claim using a person's behavioral and physiological characteristics. Due to vulnerability of the system to environmental noise and variation caused by the user, fusion of several biometric-enab ...
Due to singularities of the likelihood function, the maximum likelihood approach for the estimation of the parameters of normal mixture models is an acknowledged ill posed optimization problem. Ill posedness is solved by penalizing the likelihood function. ...
