M . Sc . in Applied Statistics MT 2004

The classical books on this subject are Hampel et al. (1986); Huber (1981), with somewhat simpler (but partial) introductions by Rousseeuw & Leroy (1987); Staudte & Sheather (1990).

Statistics A exam solutions ( 2003 - 2004 )

I may have committed a number of errors in writing these solutions, but they should be ne for the most part.Use at your own risk! Statistics May 2003 Problem 1 a) g(p) is U-estimable i n x=0 h(x) n x p x (1 − p) n−x = g(p). The left hand side is a sum of polynomial of degree ≤ n, and hence the right hand side has to be a polynomial of degree ≤ n. b) From section a) we know that h(x) has to be s...

PR - TN 2004 / 01133 Issued : 12 / 2004 Statistics of the visual normal flow

We describe statistical properties of the visual normal flow. These are used to model space-time texture, such as waterfalls, an open problem in visual motion analysis. The normal flow is perpendicular to edges. It is the only component of the image velocity that can be locally computed, so that it is simple to implement. We analysed the statistical representation of the normal flow magnitude f...
