The seaway trade market has expanded in the last years and container ship dimensions are constantly increasing for higher cargo capacity. In the early design stage, main dimensions are usually determined based on an existing ship database from which regression formulas are derived. In the present paper, a database of 260 non-sister container...

Bayesian-based data assimilation methods integrate observational data into geophysical forward models to obtain the temporal evolution of an improved state vector, including its uncertainties. We explore the potential of a variant, a particle method, to estimate mechanical parameters of the overriding plate during the interseismic period....

This survey explores the integration of learning and reasoning in two different fields of artificial intelligence: neurosymbolic and statistical relational artificial intelligence. Neurosymbolic artificial intelligence (NeSy) studies the integration of symbolic reasoning and neural networks, while statistical relational artificial...

Multitype satellite observation, including optical observation satellites, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, and electromagnetic satellites, has become an important direction in integrated satellite applications due to its ability to cope with various complex situations. In the multitype satellite observation scheduling problem ...

Imagine you need to navigate through a completely dark cave. A well-known way of achieving this is echolocation, which works by making sounds and listening to how they are reflected back. The problem of determining the geometric shape of a space from a mixture of reflections of emitted sounds, is an example of an inverse problem. In many fields...

This paper primarily employs Item Response Theory (IRT) to estimate item characteristics and the proficiency levels of students as reflected in the exam results. The process includes the application of algorithms for item characteristic parameter estimation and the utilization of statistical techniques for item selection from an item pool....

In this thesis, we explore the structure of consistent bootstrap statistics in hypothesis testing. Bootstrap, as a very useful technique when theoretical distributions are not available or when the sample size is small, enjoys a lot of interest from applied statisticians. Historically, guidelines for performing Bootstrap have been proposed. One...

In today's world, extreme flooding and drought events are becoming increasingly common globally. These challenges arise from various factors, with climate change and changes in land use being among the most significant contributors.<br/><br/>While numerous studies have explored the combined impact of climate change and land use on streamflow,...

This paper presents a novel approach for the estimation of conditional multivariate cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) within a nonparametric framework. To achieve this, we introduce a binary random variable that indirectly represents conditional CDFs and construct a dataset by pairing input vectors with the binary variables. We developed...

Floods are the most frequent natural disaster and due to climate change the frequency and intensity of these events are increasing. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to obtain accurate estimations of extreme discharges. Statistical modelling is widely used to estimate extreme discharges by fitting observed extreme discharges to an...

Sewage systems hold a critical function within the fabric of urban infrastructure, primarily by ensuring efficient wastewater management. Within this network, sewage pumping stations emerge as important components. The performance of such stations is susceptible to being undermined by system failures and malfunctions, which can cause significant...

In this thesis, we study stochastic duality under hydrodynamic scaling in the context of interacting particles on a grid. The approach is inspired and motivated by the relation between duality and local equilibria. We identify duality relations in terms of the expectation of the density field for which the hydrodynamic limit is recovered. This...

This thesis discusses the characterization of the undrained shear strength, S_u from the net cone resistance, q_net of clay in Dutch sites using Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling (HBM). The performance of the HBM is compared with the current practice methods of the site characterization which propose either the use of only site–specific...

Ahmad, Amna (author)
The Bayesian approach is a very important approach for tackling problems in statistics. It involves choosing a distribution that reflects the prior knowledge and  thus takes all knowledge into account in contrast to the frequentist approach. It also assumes that the parameters (the regression coefficients) follow a distribution called the...

This thesis investigates the robustness of multivariate S-estimators, which are statistical methods used to estimate the location and covariance parameters of multivariate distributions. Outliers, or atypical observations, can significantly impact statistical analyses, leading to incorrect conclusions. Robust methods, such as S-estimators, aim...

Every time one counts the number of occurrences of a pair of values for two categorical variables, one obtains a contingency table. These tables are one of the simplest representations of data in order to statistically test for the presence of some association between the two variables under consideration. Although naturally occurring in so many...

This thesis studies methods to improve the applicability and the performance of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms based on Piecewise Deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs). First, we discuss the key ideas that lay the foundations of the field of MCMC, spanning from the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to PDMC methods, emphasising a common...

Spectral wave models are widely used for wave prediction over large spatio-temporal scales. Over global scales, spectral models (e.g. WAM and WAVEWATCH III) are used regularly by environmental modelling centers, such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the American National Center for Environmental Prediction ...

This thesis aimed to investigate the potential of the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) to promote sustainable adjustments in the production process of semiconductor machines, considering uncertainties in carbon accounting. The research combines a review of existing literature, a case study analysis of a selected semiconductor...

As the world grapples with the challenges of global warming, there has been a significant push for the development of new methods of harnessing renewable energy. Energy harvesters have been a new avenue to generate electrical power locally for remote applications. An energy harvester is a device that taps into aeroelastic phenomena to convert...
