Due to the development of sensor devices and ubiquitous computing, we generate an enormous amount of data every second of every day. With access to a gigantic amount of information, it is imperative to analyze it, monitor it, and interpret it correctly so that business decisions are made correctly. When it comes to security, finding the anomalies is only the first step in data analysis....
Coherent forecasting techniques for count processes generate forecasts that consist of count values themselves. In practice, forecasting always relies on a fitted model and so the obtained forecast values are affected by estimation uncertainty. Thus, they may differ from the true forecast values as they would have been obtained from the true data generating process. We propose a...
Computer age statistics typically involves large amounts of data and application of computer intensive methods. In this talk we focus on bootstrapping, cross validation and simulation methods. We discuss their use and limitations and contrast their applications. Specifically, we show how bootstrapping used to test hypothesis is different from cross validation used to validate predictive...
