Bayesian and classical inference for the generalized gamma distribution and related models
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-02-22)
The generalized gamma (GG) distribution is an important model that has proven to be
very flexible in practice for modeling data from several areas. This model has important sub-models, such as the Weibull, gamma, lognormal, ...
Modelos espaciais de captura-recaptura para populações abertas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-11-22)
In this thesis we propose two spatial capture-recapture models for estimation of population abundance in the open population. The proposed statistical models conform to data obtained through individual tag capture-recapture ...
Modelagem conjunta de dados longitudinais e de sobrevivência para avaliação de desfechos clínicos do parto
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-12-06)
As most pregnancy-related deaths and morbidities are clustered around the time of child birth, the quality of care during this period is crucial for mothers and their babies. To monitor the women at this stage, the partograph ...
Detecting influential observations in spatial models using Bregman divergence
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-02-26)
How to evaluate if a spatial model is well ajusted to a problem? How to know if it is the best model between the class of conditional autoregressive (CAR) and simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) models, including homoscedasticity ...
Métodos de estimação em modelos de efeitos mistos não lineares de caudas pesadas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-12-05)
Parameter estimation in nonlinear mixed-effects models is often challenging. In this thesis,
a comparison of estimation methods for these models is proposed under a frequentist
approach. In the first study, a comparison ...
Modelo de mistura de regressão: uma abordagem bayesiana
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-04-14)
In the current dissertation, we study the mixture regression models and present two Bayesian
methodologies for their estimation. The first one considers the number of components is known
and we propose the use of two ...
Métodos de Monte Carlo Hamiltoniano aplicados em modelos GARCH
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-04-26)
One of the most important informations in financial market is variability of an asset. Several
models have been proposed in literature with a view of to evaluate this phenomenon. Among
them we have the GARCH models. This ...
Inferência bayesiana em modelos de volatilidade estocástica usando métodos de Monte Carlo Hamiltoniano
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-08-10)
This paper presents a study using Bayesian approach in stochastic volatility models for modeling
financial time series, using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods (HMC). We propose the use
of other distributions for the errors ...
Modelos não lineares assimétricos com efeitos mistos
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-08-02)
This work aims to develop asymmetric nonlinear regression models with mixed-effects, which provide alternatives to the use of normal distribution and other symmetric distributions, in order to avoid the sensitivity in the ...
Modelos de sobrevivência induzidos por fragilidade discreta série de potência zero-modificada
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-03-13)
Survival models with a frailty term are presented as an extension of Cox's proportional risk model (COX, 1972), in which a random effect, called frailty, is introduced in the risk function in a multiplicative way with the ...
