We have shown elsewhere that the presence of mixed-culture growth of microbial species in fermentation processes can be detected with high accuracy by employing the wavelet transform. This is achieved because the crosses in the different…
An algorithm is presented here to get more detailed information, of mixed culture type, based exclusively on the biomass concentration data for fermentation processes. The analysis is performed with only the on-line measurements of the…
The population dynamics of mixed-culture and sequential-cultures in fruit-must fermentation is a very interesting problem from both the theoretical and technological stand point. By mixed-culture we refer to those fermentations in which…
Growth mixture models are an important tool for detecting group structure in repeated measures data. Unlike traditional clustering methods, they explicitly model the repeat measurements on observations, and the statistical framework they…
The robustness of two widespread multifractal analysis methods, one based on detrended fluctuation analysis and one on wavelet leaders, is discussed in the context of time-series containing non-uniform structures with only isolated…
We apply the wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method to the analysis of simulated MBE-grown surfaces. In contrast to the structure function approach commonly used in the literature, this new method permits an investigation of the…
A tensor provides a concise way to codify the interdependence of complex data. Treating a tensor as a d-way array, each entry records the interaction between the different indices. Clustering provides a way to parse the complexity of the…
During batch growth on mixtures of two growth-limiting substrates, microbes consume the substrates either sequentially or simultaneously. These growth patterns are manifested in all types of bacteria and yeasts. The ubiquity of these growth…
Mixtures of multivariate normal inverse Gaussian (MNIG) distributions can be used to cluster data that exhibit features such as skewness and heavy tails. However, for cluster analysis, using a traditional finite mixture model framework,…
The simultaneous growth of multiple microbial species is a problem of fundamental ecological interest. In media containing more than one growth-limiting substrate, multiple species can coexist. The question then arises: Can single-species…
Statistical modelling in the presence of data organized in groups is a crucial task in Bayesian statistics. The present paper conceives a mixture model based on a novel family of Bayesian priors designed for multilevel data and obtained by…
In an industrial context, the activity of sensors is recorded at a high frequency. A challenge is to automatically detect abnormal measurement behavior. Considering the sensor measures as functional data, the problem can be formulated as…
A mixture of Gaussians fit to a single curved or heavy-tailed cluster will report that the data contains many clusters. To produce more appropriate clusterings, we introduce a model which warps a latent mixture of Gaussians to produce…

In many fields, researchers are interested in large and complex biological processes. Two important examples are gene expression and DNA methylation in genetics. One key problem is to identify aberrant patterns of these processes and…
We develop a mixture-based approach to robust density modeling and outlier detection for experimental multivariate data that includes measurement error information. Our model is designed to infer atypical measurements that are not due to…
Samplets are data adapted multiresolution analyses of localized discrete signed measures. They can be constructed on scattered data sites in arbitrary dimension such that they exhibit vanishing moments with respect to any prescribed set of…
A major challenge of using AMI data in power system analysis is the large size of the data sets. For rapid analysis that addresses historical behavior of systems consisting of a few hundred feeders, all of the AMI load data can be loaded…
Growth rates and biomass yields are key descriptors used in microbiology studies to understand how microbial species respond to changes in the environment. Of these, biomass yield estimates are typically obtained using cell counts and…
For a globally recognized planting breeding organization, manually-recorded field observation data is crucial for plant breeding decision making. However, certain phenotypic traits such as plant color, height, kernel counts, etc. can only…
