Bayesian modelling for asymmetric multi-modal circular data Kılıç, Muhammet Burak; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl; Sengupta, Ashis; Department of Statistics (2015) In this thesis, we propose a Bayesian methodology based on sampling importance re-sampling for asymmetric and bimodal circular data analysis. We adopt Dirichlet process (DP) mixture model approach to analyse multi-modal circular data where the number of components is not known. For the analysis of temporal circular data, such as hourly measured wind directions, we join DP mixture model approach with circular times series modelling. The approaches are illustrated with both simulated and real life data sets. ...
Bayesian classification of image structures Goswami, D.; Kalkan, Sinan; Krüger, N. (2009-11-09) In this paper, we describe work on Bayesian classifiers for distinguishing between homogeneous structures, textures, edges and junctions. We build semi-local classifiers from hand-labeled images to distinguish between these four different kinds of structures based on the concept of intrinsic dimensionality. The built classifier is tested on standard and non-standard images. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
Bayesian semiparametric models for nonignorable missing mechanisms in generalized linear models Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl (Informa UK Limited, 2013-08-01) Semiparametric models provide a more flexible form for modeling the relationship between the response and the explanatory variables. On the other hand in the literature of modeling for the missing variables, canonical form of the probability of the variable being missing (p) is modeled taking a fully parametric approach. Here we consider a regression spline based semiparametric approach to model the missingness mechanism of nonignorably missing covariates. In this model the relationship between the suitable...
Cartesian Grid Mapper: Transformation Media for Modeling Arbitrary Curved Boundaries With Cartesian Grids ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2014-01-01) A transformation electromagnetics-based approach is presented to facilitate the use of fixed Cartesian grids for modeling arbitrarily shaped (convex or nonconvex) curved boundaries in finite methods. The basic idea is to design transformation media adapted to the Cartesian grid by using the duality between the material parameters of the media and the coordinate transformation that maps the points of the Cartesian grid to the points on the original curved boundary. Such a transformation medium is named Carte...
Bayesian modeling speed-accuracy trade-off data: Examples from probability matching and memory tasks Kılıç Özhan, Aslı (null; 2018-07-21) The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT), defined as a tendency to trade response time for accuracy and vice versa, is a common problem in two-choice decision tasks. Employing a response deadline procedure provides a full time-course function which describes how cognitive processing unfolds over time. The response deadline procedure allows unbiased estimates of accuracy and speed independent from each other by signalling participants to respond in a controlled condition. In this investigation, a Bayesian m...
