Hidden Markov models for spatially structured populations

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) offer a very powerful, flexible, and efficient structure for likelihood computation. They’re a popular tool for problems in statistical ecology since the structure often has an associated, and insightful, ecological interpretation for the system being modelled. Read more

Integrating multivariate modelling with stochastic optimization to plan firebreaks

  Research Group: Division of Statistics
Wildfires are a well-known matter of concern worldwide. In particular, Portugal has recently seen a total burn area severe increase, attaining the unsettling value of 110097 ha, in 2022. Read more

Inferring Events from Phylogenetic Analysis of Eyewitness Testimony in the Historical and Forensic Record

This project will consider if we can use phylogenetic analysis to correct for imperfections in eyewitness testimony. Eyewitness testimony from events with multiple witnesses is often inconsistent and sometime contradictory. Read more
