Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

Sufficient dimension-reduction methods provide effective ways to visualize discriminant analysis problems. For example, Cook and Yin showed that the dimension-reduction method of sliced average ...

Probabilistic graphical models are a powerful technique for handling uncertainty in machine learning. The course will cover how probability distributions can be represented in graphical models, how ...

For planning studies that consider risk and reliability, it is useful to run ensembles of hydrologic inputs and perform statistical analysis on the results to get probabilistic output, much like a ...

The run-length distribution of a cumulative sum control scheme, when the underlying distribution of the incoming observations is unknown, is discussed. Given a sample of size n from this distribution, ...
