Assessing normalization methods in mass spectrometry-based proteome profiling of clinical samples

Background: Large-scale proteomic studies have to deal with unwanted variability, especially when samples originate from different centers and multiple analytical batches are needed. Such variability is typically added throughout all the steps of a clinica ...

Improved Inference On Risk Measures For Univariate Extremes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Léo Raymond-Belzile

We discuss the use of likelihood asymptotics for inference on risk measures in univariate extreme value problems, focusing on estimation of high quantiles and similar summaries of risk for uncertainty quantification. We study whether higher-order approxima ...

A nonparametric method for producing isolines of bivariate exceedance probabilities

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud

We present a method for drawing isolines indicating regions of equal joint exceedance probability for bivariate data. The method relies on bivariate regular variation, a dependence framework widely used for extremes. The method we utilize for characterizin ...

Statistical inference in ensemble modeling of cellular metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Marc-Olivier Boldi, Tuure Eelis Hameri

Kinetic models of metabolism can be constructed to predict cellular regulation and devise metabolic engineering strategies, and various promising computational workflows have been developed in recent years for this. Due to the uncertainty in the kinetic pa ...

Stochastic approximation methods for PDE constrained optimal control problems with uncertain parameters

Matthieu Claude Martin

This thesis work focuses on optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs) with uncertain parameters, treated as a random variables. In particular, we assume that the random parameters are not observable and look for a deterministic control which ...

Optimal regionalization of extreme value distributions for flood estimation

Anthony Christopher Davison, Sebastian Engelke, Peiman Asadi

Regionalization methods have long been used to estimate high return levels of river discharges at ungauged locations on a river network. In these methods, discharge measurements from a homogeneous group of similar, gauged, stations are used to estimate hig ...

Two Full Parameter Identification Methods for Synchronous Machine Applying DC-Decay Tests for a Rotor in Arbitrary Position

Jean-Jacques Simond, Mai Tu Xuan, Frédéric Michael Maurer

The main obstacle to a wide use of dc-Decay tests lies in the necessity to align the rotor with the d- or q-axis, which is very difficult to perform for high-power units. The goal of this paper is to propose and validate standstill dc-Decay measuring metho ...

Probabilistic approach for fatigue evaluation of welded connections with application to road steel bridges

Luca D'Angelo

Fatigue analysis of steel bridges asks for consideration of welded joints. Traditional fatigue analysis of welded joints under variable amplitude loadings is based on the nominal stress approach, wherein constant amplitude (CA) S-N curves are used in combi ...

Inferring the magnetic field vector in the quiet Sun III. Disk variation of the Stokes profiles and isotropism of the magnetic field

Philipp Kobel

Recent investigations of the magnetic field vector properties in the solar internetwork have provided diverging results. While some works found that the internetwork is mostly pervaded by horizontal magnetic fields, other works argued in favor of an isotro ...

Statistical analysis of the current-sharing temperature evolution in Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit-conductors for ITER

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche

During the test of ITER conductors at nominal conditions, a degradation of the current sharing temperature has been observed after electromagnetic cyclic loading. Rather than focusing on the microscopic phenomena at the origin of the degradation, the degra ...

Fusing Loop Detector and Probe Vehicle Data to Estimate Travel Time Statistics on Signalized Urban Networks

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Edward Chung

This article presents a methodology that integrates cumulative plots with probe vehicle data for estimation of travel time statistics (average, quartile) on urban networks. The integration reduces relative deviation among the cumulative plots so that the c ...

A methodology (CUPRITE) for urban network travel time estimation by integrating multisource data

Ashish Bhaskar

Travel time is an important network performance measure and it quantifies congestion in a manner easily understood by all transport users. In urban networks, travel time estimation is challenging due to number of reasons such as, fluctuations in traffic fl ...

Multi-experts scheduling system for real-time applications

Mario Bellino

This thesis focuses on the decisional process of autonomous systems, and more particularly, on the way to take a decision when the time at disposal in order to assess the whole situation is shorter than necessary. Indeed, numerous systems propose solutions ...
