Estimation of asymmetry in physics
(IEEE, 1996)The notion of asymmetry arises in many physical experiments, being a natural expression of the relative difference between two quantities. In this paper, we discuss the estimation of asymmetries between the rates of two ... -
Reliability assessment from fatigue micro-crack data
(IEEE, 1997)Summary & Conclusions -Micro-cracks are generally defined to be cracks less than 1 nun in length, which propagate under cyclic stresses until they grow large and cause failure in an item (eg, component or structure). This ... -
Gender equality in the civil service - gender imbalance in the Irish civil service at higher executive officer level ( HEO ) and above

Bayesian modelling of short fatigue crack growth and coalescence
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2000)Failure of metal structures is caused by cracks appearing and growing in the material until the strength of the structure is compromised. The way in which such cracks grow in metal has been researched extensively; the great ... -
Women in science and technology employment
(Goodbody, 2001)Ireland continues to experience the fastest growth in GNP within the European Union, with average GNP increases of almost 8 per cent per annum over the period of the late 1990's. This has led to buoyancy in the Irish ... -
Image segmentation using the double Markov random field, with application to land use estimation
(IEEE, 2001)We describe the double Markov random field, a natural hierarchical model for a Bayesian approach to model-based textured image segmentation. The model is difficult to implement, even using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) ... -

Double Markov random fields and Bayesian image segmentation
(IEEE, 2002)Markov random fields are used extensively in modelbased approaches to image segmentation and, under the Bayesian paradigm, are implemented through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. In this paper,we describe a ... -
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 ... -
Decision-theoretic approaches to display strategies in content based image retrieval
(2004)In this report we continue development of a Bayesian CBIR system by considering the issue of an image display strategy. This is a decision problem and so within the Bayesian paradigm is to be solved by decision theory. ... -
Danger! men at work: a study of the underepresentation of women in third-level engineering

Workshop on Machine Learning Techniques for Processing Multimedia Content
(2005)Machine Learning (ML) techniques are used in situations where data is available in electronic format and ML algorithms can ?add value? by analysing this data. This is the situation with the processing of multimedia ... -
Spatial modelling of damage accumulation in bone cement
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)In this thesis we develop spatial models for damage accumulation in the bone cement of hip replacement specimens. A total hip replacement consists of an artificial cup, forming the socket portion of the joint, and a ... -
The development of theory to assist the application of destination yield management
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)Destinations are geographical spaces where tourism experiences take place. They include the built and natural environm ent, attractions, the host community and commercial interests - predominantly SMEs. The role of ... -
Importance resampling MCMC : a methodology for cross-validation in inverse problems and its applications in model assessment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This thesis presents a methodology for implementing cross-validation in the context of Bayesian modelling of situations we loosely refer to as 'inverse problems'. It is motivated by an example from palaeoclimatology in ... -
A split Poisson process model for the occurrence of defects and change requests during user acceptance testing
(Trinity College Dublin, 2005)Software developed for a specific customer under contract typically undergoes a period of testing by the customer before acceptance. This is known as user acceptance testing and the process can reveal both defects in ... -
FPGA implementation of an Image Segmentation algorithm using logarithmic arithmetic
(IEEE, 2005)Image Segmentation is a process used in Computer Vision to automatically divide up an image. We investigate the suitability of FPGAs and Log Arithmetic for Image Processing. We implemented a Bayesian pixel-based ... -
A Bayesian method for automatic landmark detection in segmented images
(2005)The identification of landmark points of a figure in an image plays an important role in many statistical shape analysis techniques. In certain contexts, manual landmark detection is an impractical task and an ... -
