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, ...
Testes de superioridade para modelos de chances proporcionais com e sem fração de cura
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-10-24)
Studies that prove the superiority of a drug in relation to others already existing in the market are of great interest in clinical practice. Based on them the Brazilian National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) ...
Seleção de modelos multiníveis para dados de avaliação educacional
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-08-11)
When a dataset contains a hierarchical data structure, a possible approach is the multilevel
regression modelling, which is justified by the significative amout of the data variability that can
be explained by macro level ...
Modelos COM-Poisson correlacionados
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-04-23)
In this thesis two discrete distributions are proposed: Correlated COM-Poisson (CPC) and
Generalized partially correlated COM-Poisson (CPGPC). We have also proposed regression
models for the Generalized partially correlated ...
Um estudo de estresse através dos níveis de cortisol em crianças
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-05-26)
The level of cortisol is considered as a measure of people’s stress. We perform an
statistical analysis of the data from a study conducted to evaluate if children that
work on the streets during the day have higher stress ...
Estimação de funções do redshift de galáxias com base em dados fotométricos
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-09-18)
In a substantial amount of astronomy problems, we are interested in estimating values assumed of some unknown quantity z ∈ R, for many function g, based on covariates x ∈ R^d. This is made using a sample (X1,Z1), ... ...
Mapas da transmutação : modelagem, propriedades estruturais, estimação e aplicações
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-12-05)
Initially, we use the quadratic transmutation maps to compose a new probability
model: the transmuted log-logistic distribution. Transmutation maps are
a convenient way of constructing new distributions, in particular ...
Distribuições k-modificadas da família Série de Potência uniparamétrica
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-05-23)
This paper proposes a family of distributions Power Series k-Modified from to model sets of count data which have or not any discrepancy in the frequency of observation k in relation to the distribution associated Power ...
Modelagem da volatilidade em séries temporais financeiras via modelos GARCH com abordagem bayesiana
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-07-18)
In the last decades volatility has become a very important concept in the financial area, being used
to measure the risk of financial instruments. In this work, the focus of study is the modeling of
volatility, that ...
Métodos de categorização de variáveis preditoras em modelos de regressão para variáveis binárias
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-06-13)
Regression models for binary response variables are very common in several areas of knowledge.
The most used model in these situations is the logistic regression model, which assumes that the
logit of the probability of ...
