Discrete Markov random fields form a natural class of models to represent images and spatial datasets. The use of such models is, however, hampered by a computationally intractable normalising constant. This m...

The multiscale local polynomial transform, developped in this paper, combines the benefits from local polynomial smoothing with sparse multiscale decompositions. The contribution of the paper is twofold. First...

The present work addresses the question how sampling algorithms for commonly applied copula models can be adapted to account for quasi-random numbers. Besides sampling methods such as the conditional distribut...

The rank envelope test (Myllymäki et al. in J R Stat Soc B, doi:10.1111/rssb.12172, 2016) is proposed as a solution to the multiple testing problem for Monte...

This paper presents an original ABC algorithm, ABC Shadow, that can be applied to sample posterior densities that are continuously differentiable. The proposed algorithm solves the main condition to be fulfilled ...

Functional principal component analysis is one of the most commonly employed approaches in functional and longitudinal data analysis and we extend it to analyze functional/longitudinal data observed on a general

We consider the problem of change-point detection in multivariate time-series. The multivariate distribution of the observations is supposed to follow a graphical model, whose graph and parameters are affected...

Residual marked empirical process-based tests are commonly used in regression models. However, they suffer from data sparseness in high-dimensional space when there are many covariates. This paper has three pu...

This paper addresses the problem of co-clustering binary data in the latent block model framework with diagonal constraints for resulting data partitions. We consider the Bernoulli generative mixture model and...

Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO) and the widely applicable information criterion (WAIC) are methods for estimating pointwise out-of-sample prediction accuracy from a fitted Bayesian model using the log-lik...

Data streams are characterised by a potentially unending sequence of high-frequency observations which are subject to unknown temporal variation. Many modern streaming applications demand the capability to seq...

High-dimensional sparse modeling with censored survival data is of great practical importance, as exemplified by applications in high-throughput genomic data analysis. In this paper, we propose a class of regu...

In this paper we build on an approach proposed by Zou et al. (2014) for nonparametric changepoint detection. This approach defines the best segmentation for a data set as the one which minimises a penalised cost ...

We propose a Random Splitting Model Averaging procedure, RSMA, to achieve stable predictions in high-dimensional linear models. The idea is to use split training data to construct and estimate candidate models...

Latent feature models are a powerful tool for modeling data with globally-shared features. Nonparametric distributions over exchangeable sets of features, such as the Indian Buffet Process, offer modeling flex...
