Dynamic Gaussian Processes and the Vanilla-SPDE Exchange

Rui-Yang Zhang, Lachlan Astfalck, Edward Cripps +2

Gaussian process inference is often limited by cubic computational costs, a challenge that becomes more pronounced in spatio-temporal settings where posterior inference is required…

BALLAST: Bayesian Active Learning with Look-ahead Amendment for Sea-drifter Trajectories under Spatio-Temporal Vector Fields

Rui-Yang Zhang, Lachlan Astfalck, Edward Cripps +2

We introduce a formal active learning methodology for guiding the placement of Lagrangian observers to infer time-dependent vector fields -- a key task in oceanography, marine scie…

Posterior Projection for Inference in Constrained Spaces

Lachlan Astfalck, Deborshee Sen, Sayan Patra +2

Estimation of parameters that obey specific constraints is crucial in statistics and machine learning; for example, when parameters are required to satisfy boundedness, monotonicit…

Hybrid physics-data driven spectral forecasts of semisubmersible response

Ian Milne, Lachlan Astfalck, Matthew Zed +2

A framework for probabilistic forecasting of vessel motion is developed and validated for a semisubmersible operating in long period swell. Bayesian statistical methods are applied…

Bias correction of quadratic spectral estimators

Lachlan Astfalck, Adam Sykulski, Edward Cripps

The three cardinal, statistically consistent, families of non-parametric estimators to the power spectral density of a time series are lag-window, multitaper and Welch estimators.…
