The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a popular technique for performing inference in state-space models (SSMs), particularly when the dynamic process is high-dimensional. Unlike reweighting methods such as sequential Monte Carlo (SMC, i.e.…
We propose an automatic approach for manifold nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (mNARX) modeling that leverages the feature-based structure of functional-NARX (F-NARX) modeling. This novel approach, termed mNARX+, preserves the…
Optimal experimental design (OED) provides a systematic approach to quantify and maximize the value of experimental data. Under a Bayesian approach, conventional OED maximizes the expected information gain (EIG) on model parameters.…
Statistical agencies frequently release frequency tables derived from microdata, but small frequency cells may lead to disclosure risks. We present \texttt{iLBA}, an open-source \textsf{R} package for confidential dissemination of…
Meta-analytical models are typically formulated as a mixed-effects model where the sampling variances of the effect sizes are treated as known. In principle, such models could be fitted with standard mixed-modelling software such as the…
We consider the statistical problem of estimating constituent curves from observations of their aggregated curves, referred to as aggregated functional data, in models with additive errors. A typical model arises in chemometrics via the…
Bayesian spectral deconvolution provides a data-driven framework for mathematical model selection and parameter estimation from spectral data. Although highly versatile, it becomes computationally expensive as the number of model…
Sampling-based inference has seen a surge of interest in recent years. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) has emerged as a powerful algorithm that leverages concepts from Hamiltonian dynamics to efficiently explore complex target distributions.…
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a fundamental classification and dimension reduction method that achieves Bayes optimality under Gaussian mixture, but often struggles in high-dimensional settings where the covariance matrix cannot be…
In the era of AI, neural networks have become increasingly popular for modeling, inference, and prediction, largely due to their potential for universal approximation. With the proliferation of such deep learning models, a question arises:…
We propose a structured prior for high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems based on a disentangled deep generative model whose latent space is partitioned into auxiliary variables aligned with known and interpretable physical parameters…
Brownian motion and fractional Brownian motion have been widely applied in statistical modeling in finance, telecommunication, network traffic, neuroscience, physics, and other fields. More realistic models for real time series data, such…
The bootstrap is a foundational tool in statistical inference, but its classical implementation relies on Monte Carlo resampling, introducing approximation error and incurring high computational cost -- especially for large datasets and…
To reduce the cost of estimating the probability of a rare event involving a very large number of random parameters, we propose a new strategy for dimension reduction coupled with a surrogate model for the expensive part of the algorithm.…
Dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) is widely used for analyzing intensive longitudinal data (ILD). Although many ILD have categorical (Bernoulli or binomially distributed) responses, currently available Metropolis-within-Gibbs…
Surveillance of diseases in a pandemic is an important part of public health policy. Diagnostic testing at the individual level is often infeasible due to resource constraints. To circumvent these constraints, group testing can be applied.…
This thesis presents Regenerative Rejection Sampling (RRS), a novel approximate sampling algorithm inspired by classical Rejection Sampling and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. The method constructs a continuous-time regenerative process…
We consider the discrete-time filtering problem in scenarios where the observation noise is low or degenerate. We focus on the case where the observation equation is a linear function of the state and the data involve additive noise.…
The compatibility constant plays an important role in evaluating the prediction error of the lasso in high-dimensional settings. However, the computation of the compatibility constant is generally difficult because it is a complicated…
Spline interpolation is a widely used class of methods for solving interpolation problems by constructing smooth interpolants that minimize a regularized energy functional involving the Laplacian operator. While many existing approaches…
