21. Gated Bayesian Networks
Abstract : Bayesian networks have grown to become a dominant type of model within the domain of probabilistic graphical models. Not only do they empower users with a graphical means for describing the relationships among random variables, but they also allow for (potentially) fewer parameters to estimate, and enable more efficient inference.

22. Assesing performance of PCR analysis using Bayesian modelling
Abstract : Different analytical methods are available to analyse the DNA samples from crime scenes or to screen samples for the presence of some target bacterium. For this purpose a method known as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can often be used. READ MORE

23. Optimisation of Clinical Trials using Bayesian Decision Theory
Abstract : A decision maker confronted with the task of designing a clinical trial has to consider a multitude of aspects. Large trials lead to more evidence,which in turn makes it less likely that harmful decisions are taken when deciding on future treatments for patients. READ MORE

24. Multiple Kernel Imputation : A Locally Balanced Real Donor Method
Abstract : We present an algorithm for imputation of incomplete datasets based on Bayesian exchangeability through Pólya sampling. Each (donee) unit with a missing value is imputed multiple times by observed (real) values on units from a donor pool. The donor pools are constructed using auxiliary variables. READ MORE

25. Spatial Statistics and Ancestral Recombination Graphs with Applications in Gene Mapping and Geostatistics
Abstract : This thesis explores models and algorithms in geostatistics and gene mapping. The first part deals with the use of computationally effective lattice models for inference of data with a continuous spatial index. READ MORE
