Algebraic Multigrid for Markov Chains and Tensor Decomposition
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-23)The majority of this thesis is concerned with the development of efficient and robust numerical methods based on adaptive algebraic multigrid to compute the stationary distribution of Markov chains. It is shown that classical ... -
Fast Algorithms for Large-Scale Phylogenetic Reconstruction
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-24)One of the most fundamental computational problems in biology is that of inferring evolutionary histories of groups of species from sequence data. Such evolutionary histories, known as phylogenies are usually represented ... -
Generalizations and Applications of the Stochastic Block Model to Basketball Games and Variable Selection Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-24)Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of network data in a vast number of circumstances, such as the World Wide Web, social networks, gene interactions, economic networks, etc. Scientific analysis of networks ...
