Probabilistic Machine Learning for Circular Statistics: Models and inference using the Multivariate Generalised von Mises distribution
… we introduce the multivariate Generalised von Mises distribution (mGvM), which allows the use of kernels in circular statistics akin to Gaussian Processes, and an augmented representation. These models account for a vast number of applications comprising both latent variable modelling and …

On the detection of seasonal variation in the onset of disease
… nature of the date of onset means that Normal distribution theory is not appropriate. Instead the von Mises distribution on a circle and angular regression methods are required. A computer program is developed to implement the methodology. The thesis re-examines, using angular methodology, …

Low-rank graphical models and Bayesian inference in the statistical analysis of noisy neural data
… we introduce a novel class of joint probability distributions in which exact inference is tractable. Previously it has been difficult to find general constructions for models in which efficient exact inference is possible, outside of certain classical cases. We identify a class of such models …
