Implementation and Application of Statistical Methods in Research, Manufacturing Technology and Quality Control
Kupka, Karel ; Karpíšek, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with modern statistical approaches and their application aimed at robust methods and neural network modelling. Selected methods are analyzed and applied on frequent practical problems in czech industry and technology. Topics and methods are to be benificial in real applications compared to currently used classical methods. Applicability and effectivity of the algorithms is verified and demonstrated on real studies and problems in czech industrial and research bodies. The great and unexploited potential of modern theoretical and computational capacity and the potential of new approaces to statistical modelling and methods. A significant result of this thesis is also an environment for software application development for data analysis with own programming language DARWin (Data Analysis Robot for Windows) for implemenation of effective numerical algorithms for extaction information from data. The thesis should be an incentive for boarder use of robust and computationally intensive methods as neural networks for modelling processes, quality control and generally better understanding of nature.

Regression quantiles
Rusnák, Peter ; Kalina, Jan (advisor) ; Zvára, Karel (referee)
Title: Regression Quantiles Author: Peter Rusnák Department: Department of Probabilty and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: RNDr. Jan Kalina, Ph.D.,Institute of Computer Science, AS CR Abstract: Quantile regression is a statistical method for specifying dependencies among variables, which was introduced by Koenker a Bassett in 1978. Since that time it has gone through a big development, when its theoretical properties have been under study, and it also has found many practical applications for data processing in variety of fields.While ordinary least-squares regression describes the relationship between one or more covariates X and the conditional mean of a response variable Y given X = x, quantile regression describes the relationship between X and the conditional quantiles of variable Y given X = x. This work contains the theory necessary for understanding relationship between standard and quantile regression and enabling include so received estimates to bigger group of M-estimates. The computation of coefficients for particular covariates is made by using Frisch-Newton algorithm belonging to methods of linear programming. The so-called regression ranks are also obtained as a by-product of this algorithm and we discuss their computational aspects and usage for hypothesis testing.In the second part, we...

Robust Monitoring Procedures for Dependent Data
Chochola, Ondřej ; Hušková, Marie (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee) ; Černíková, Alena (referee)
Title: Robust Monitoring Procedures for Dependent Data Author: Ondřej Chochola Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Marie Hušková, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: huskova@karlin.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In the thesis we focus on sequential monitoring procedures. We extend some known results towards more robust methods. The robustness of the procedures with respect to outliers and heavy-tailed observations is introduced via use of M-estimation instead of classical least squares estimation. Another extension is towards dependent and multivariate data. It is assumed that the observations are weakly dependent, more specifically they fulfil strong mixing condition. For several models, the appropriate test statistics are proposed and their asymptotic properties are studied both under the null hypothesis of no change as well as under the alternatives, in order to derive proper critical values and show consistency of the tests. We also introduce retrospective change-point procedures, that allow one to verify in a robust way the stability of the historical data, which is needed for the sequential monitoring. Finite sample properties of the tests need to be also examined. This is done in a simulation study and by application on some real data in the capital asset...
