Dr J Shi No more applications being accepted Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

A function-on-function regression model is to analyse relationship between a functional response variable and a set of functional and non-functional covariates. It has wide applications in medicine, engineering, computing sciences and other areas.

In this project a new nonparametric Bayesian approach based on an extended covariance kernel and a Gaussian process prior will be studied. Other types of process prior will also be studied. The method will be applied on reconstruction of human motion by using data collected from game controllers.

Successful applicants will also be given the opportunity to complete teaching and demonstrating duties within the school amounting to up to £1500 per annum.
