  • Hyper and structural Markov laws for graphical models 

    Byrne, Simon (University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, 2012-03-06)
    My thesis focuses on the parameterisation and estimation of graphical models, based on the concept of hyper and meta Markov properties. These state that the parameters should exhibit conditional independencies, similar to ...

  • Maximum likelihood parameter estimation in time series models using sequential Monte Carlo 

    Yildirim, Sinan (University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsStatistical LaboratoryDarwin College, 2013-06-11)
    Time series models are used to characterise uncertainty in many real-world dynamical phenomena. A time series model typically contains a static variable, called parameter, which parametrizes the joint law of the random ...
