Dissertation - research done under the advisement of statisticians, Herbie Lee and Bruno Sanso (UCSC). The body of work covers modeling derivative curves with Gaussian processes. This work required extensive research and development of Gaussian process methods applied to inverse problems. A cosmology application drove this statistical research to model dark energy equation of state.
The dissertation was a results of an ISSDM collaboration with Los Alamos National Labs cosmologists Katrin Heitmann, Salman Habib and Ujjaini Alam and statistician David Higdon. We worked with Bayesian parametric and non-parametric models to fit non-linear equations to supernova, baryon acoustic oscilliation, and cosmic microwave backgound radiation data to elicit the form of dark energy. We have exploited the stochastic properties of the Gaussian process to perform analysis for this inverse applied problem. AOAS1009.pdf
