Evaluating one-shot tournament predictions
Claus Thorn Ekstrøm, Hans Van Eetvelde, Christophe Ley +1
We introduce the Tournament Rank Probability Score (TRPS) as a measure to evaluate and compare pre-tournament predictions, where predictions of the full tournament results are requ…
Optimal tests for elliptical symmetry: specified and unspecified location
Sladana Babic, Laetitia Gelbgras, Marc Hallin +1
Although the assumption of elliptical symmetry is quite common in multivariate analysis and widespread in a number of applications, the problem of testing the null hypothesis of el…
Simple variance bounds with applications to Bayesian posteriors and intractable distributions
Fraser Daly, Fatemeh Ghaderinezhad, Christophe Ley +1
Using coupling techniques based on Stein's method for probability approximation, we revisit classical variance bounding inequalities of Chernoff, Cacoullos, Chen and Klaassen. Taki…
Sine-skewed toroidal distributions and their application in protein bioinformatics
Jose Ameijeiras-Alonso, Christophe Ley
In the bioinformatics field, there has been a growing interest in modelling dihedral angles of amino acids by viewing them as data on the torus. This has motivated, over the past y…
Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019
Andreas Groll, Christophe Ley, Gunther Schauberger +2
In this work, we combine two different ranking methods together with several other predictors in a joint random forest approach for the scores of soccer matches. The first ranking…
