Nonparametric Predictive Inference for Multiple Comparisons
This thesis presents Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI) for several multiple comparisons problems. We introduce NPI for comparison of multiple groups of data including right-censored observations. Different right-censoring schemes discussed are early termination of an experiment, progressive …

Multinomial Nonparametric Predictive Inference: Selection, Classification and Subcategory Data
… Several imprecise approaches to statistical inference using imprecise probability have been suggested, one of which is nonparametric predictive inference (NPI). The multinomial NPI model was recently proposed, which quantifies uncertainty in terms of lower and upper probabilities. It has …

Topics in functional data analysis and machine learning predictive inference
… on functional data analysis and machine learning predictive inference.</p> <p>The first project deals with the covariance estimation, principal component analysis, and prediction of spatially correlated functional data. We develop a general framework and fully nonparametric estimation methods for …

Predictive inference generation in the cerebral hemispheres: An investigation of time course and reader goals
… not explicitly stated to make connections (i.e., inferences) about what is occurring in a text. Readers often make connections between events in a text and their background knowledge by generating expectations about what will occur next (i.e., generating a predictive inference). Although …

Predictive inference in reading comprehension: What can biased judgments inform us about information processing in the brain?
… about the text. It is shown how prediction and inference in reading comprehension interact with each other following a principle of least effort driven by the lowering of entropy in the working memory of the reader. The studies are designed to explore how learning is being manipulated by working …

Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Learning and Decision-Making in Adolescent-OCD: A Computational Approach
… In the penultimate chapter, I demonstrate on a predictive-inference task that patients with OCD update their choices more frequently compared to controls independent of prediction error magnitude. Finally, in Chapter 6, I administered a probabilistic reversal learning paradigm to a large sample …

Development of advanced reliability assessment models with applications in integrity management of onshore energy pipelines
… analysis is employed, known as nonparametric predictive inference (NPI). This method provides interval probabilities, also known as imprecise reliability, in that probabilities and survival functions are quantified via upper and lower bounds. The focus is on the rupture of a future pipe …
