A diagnostic for the general linear model : an application to Time Series
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2002)An outlier is an observation which is thought to be unusual. The detection of such extreme values is an important issue. Developing a model based on data containing even a single outlier can seriously bias population ... -
An exploratory study of gender segregation in investment management in Ireland

The absence of women is most notable in the fund management suite and on the trading floor (the most lucrative sub sectors of the ... -
A risk assessment tool for highly energetic break-up events during the atmospheric re-entry
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2017)Most unmanned space missions end up with a destructive atmospheric re-entry. From ten to forty percent of a re-entering satellite’s mass may survive re-entry and hit the Earth’s surface. This has the potential to be a ... -
Bayesian inference for misaligned irregular time series with application to palaeoclimate reconstruction
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2015)This thesis proposes new Bayesian methods to jointly analyse misaligned irregular time series. Temporal misalignment occurs wdien multiple irregularly spaced time series are considered together, or when the time periods ... -
Variational Bayes approximation for inverse regression problems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2011)Inverse regression is a tool to predict an unknown explanatory variable for given observations of a response variable in a regression problem. The prediction problem is usually carried out in two stages: firstly, to fit ...
