• Abstract: This paper provides a comparative analysis between the adaptive birth model used in the labelled random finite set literature and the track initiation in the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter, with point-target models. The PMBM track initiation is obtained via Bayes' rule applied on the predicted PMBM density, and creates one Bernoulli component for each received measurement, representing that this measurement may be clutter or a detection from a new target. Adaptive birth mimics this procedure by creating a Bernoulli component for each measurement using a different rule to determine the probability of existence and a user-defined single-target density. This paper first provides an analysis of the differences that arise in track initiation based on isolated measurements. Then, it shows that adaptive birth underestimates the number of objects present in the surveillance area under common modelling assumptions. Finally, we provide numerical simulations to further illustrate the differences.

  This thesis is a series of independent contributions to statistics unified by a model-free perspective. The first chapter elaborates on how a model-free perspective can be used to formulate flexible methods that leverage prediction techniques from machine learning. The second chapter studies the concept of local independence, which describes whether the evolution of one process is directly influenced by another.

• Summarizing Bayesian Nonparametric Mixture Posterior -- Sliced Optimal Transport Metrics for Gaussian Mixtures [10.694077392690447]
  Existing methods to summarize posterior inference for mixture models focus on identifying a point estimate of the implied random partition for clustering. We propose a novel approach for summarizing posterior inference in nonparametric Bayesian mixture models, prioritizing density estimation of the mixing measure (or mixture) as an inference target.

  We investigate how to select the number of communities for weighted networks without a full likelihood modeling. We propose a novel weighted degree-corrected block model (DCSBM), in which the mean adjacency matrix is modeled as the same as in standard DCSBM. Our method of selecting the number of communities is based on a sequential testing framework, and in each step the weighted DCSBM is fitted via some spectral clustering method.

  Adversarial detection aims to determine whether a given sample is an adversarial one based on the discrepancy between natural and adversarial distributions. We propose a new statistic called expected perturbation score (EPS), which is essentially the expected score of a sample after various perturbations. We develop EPS-based maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) as a metric to measure the discrepancy between the test sample and natural samples.

We show via simulations that the use of double balancing score for confounding adjustment improves performance over adjusting for any single score alone. We apply the proposed method to the North Carolina birth weight dataset to analyze the effect of maternal smoking on infant's birth weight.
