Modeling users' powertrain preferences
… In this thesis, two different approaches, Bayesian hypothesis testing and inverse reinforcement learning, will be used to classify and estimate the user's preferences. Bayesian hypothesis testing classifies the driver as one of several driving types. Assuming that the probability …

DETECTION AND INFERENCE IN GRAVITATIONAL WAVE ASTRONOMY
… and neutron star-black hole binaries. We use Bayesian inference to place upper limits on the rate of coalescence of these binaries. We use developments made in the PyCBC search pipeline during Advanced LIGO and Virgo’s second observing run to re-analyze Advanced LIGO’s first observing run and …

Aggregation and influence in teams of imperfect decision makers
Bayesian hypothesis testing inevitably requires prior probabilities of hypotheses. Motivated by human decision makers, this thesis studies how binary decision making is performed when the decision-making agents use imperfect prior probabilities. Three detection models with multiple agents are …

Quantization of prior probabilities in Bayesian group decision-making
In Bayesian hypothesis testing, a decision is made based on a prior probability distribution over the hypotheses, an observation with a known conditional distribution given the true hypothesis, and an assignment of costs to different types of errors. In a setting with multiple agents and the …

Bayesian Adaptive Designs For Early Phase Clinical Trials
<p>My dissertation focuses mainly on Bayesian adaptive designs for phase I and phase II clinical trials. It includes three specific topics: <strong>(1)</strong> proposing a novel two-dimensional dose-finding algorithm for biological agents, <strong>(2)</strong> developing Bayesian adaptive …
