Title in Portuguese
Seleção de modelos através de um teste de hipótese genuinamente Bayesiano: misturas de normais multivariadas e hipóteses separadas
Keywords in Portuguese
hipóteses separadas
modelos de misturas
testes de significância
Abstract in Portuguese
Nesta tese propomos o Full Bayesian Significance Test (FBST), apresentado por Pereira e Stern em 1999, para análise de modelos de misturas de normais multivariadas. Estendemos o conceito de modelos de misturas para explorar outro problema clássico em Estatística, o problema de modelos separados. Nas duas propostas, realizamos experimentos numéricos inspirados em problemas biológicos importantes: o problema de classificação não supervisionada de genes baseada em seus níveis de expressão, e o problema da discriminação entre os modelos Weibull e Gompertz - distribuições clássicas em análise de sobrevivência.

Abstract in English
In this thesis we propose the Full Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) as a tool for multivariate normal mixture models. We extend the fundamental mixture concepts to another important problem in Statistics, the problem of separate models. In both methods, we perform numerical experiments based on important biological problems: the unsupervised classification of genes based on their expression profiles, and the problem of deciding between the Weibull and Gompertz models - two classical distributions widely used in survival analysis.
