Robust Bayesian Portfolio Optimisation: Higher Moments and the Distorting Effects of Constraints by Wilson, Byron

“…The aim of this thesis is to introduce the Bayesian approach to asset allocation. In particular, the Black-Litterman model is introduced as a powerful Bayesian asset allocation model that enables the incorporation of human decision making (in the form of views) within a portfolio optimisation framework. …”

Permission to believe: descriptive and prescriptive beliefs in the Clifford/James debate by Lawrence, Christopher

“…We consider approaches to ‘pragmatic encroachment', suggesting a parallel between ‘practical interest' and the ‘personal utility' denominating the stakes of the imaginary gambles which Bayesian credences can be illustrated as. …”

A topic model based approach to inferring episodic directional selection in protein coding sequences by Sadiq, Hassan Taiwo

“…A notable example of such techniques are the variational Bayesian methods. We show that our approach performs well in terms of specificity and power, and demonstrate its utility by applying it to some real datasets of HIV sequences.…”

Predictive Maintenance of Wind Turbines: Remaining Useful Life Estimation Using a BPSO-Optimized Attention-Based CNN-BiLSTM Approach by Hawas, Eman Khaled

“…The proposed solution also utilizes Bayesian optimization to select specific hyperparameters, including the number of filters in the convolutional layer and the activation functions used in the dense layer of the fully connected layer. …”

Aircraft state estimation using cameras and passive radar by De Charmoy, Benjamin

“…This work puts forward a MTT framework (MTTF) which is based on the Bayesian recursive estimator (BRE). The MTTF extends a particle filter (PF) to handle the multiple targets and adds a probabilistic graphical model (PGM) data association stage to compute the mapping from detections to trackers. …”
