Copula models

A copula-based Bayesian framework for doping detection

Doping control is an essential component of anti-doping organizations for protecting sport competitions. Since 2009, this mission has been complemented worldwide by the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), used to monitor athletes’ individual profiles …

Anomaly Detection in Multivariate Profiles with Conformal Bayesian Inference (Poster @ COPA2024)

This work addresses the problem of detecting anomalies or abnormal values in multivariate longitudinal data. Specifically, motivated by the international mission of antidoping agencies, we are interested in identifying potential doping abuse in …

Alternative Approaches for Estimating Highest-Density Regions

Among the variety of statistical intervals, highest-density regions (HDRs) stand out for their ability to effectively summarise a distribution or sample, unveiling its distinctive and salient features. An HDR represents the minimum size set that …

A Multivariate Copula-based Conformal Bayesian Framework for Doping Detection (Talk @ AUEB-SAW2024)

Doping control is an essential component of anti-doping organizations for protecting clean sport competitions. Since 2009, this mission has been complemented worldwide by the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), used to monitor athletes' individual …

Development of a multivariate Bayesian methodological framework for doping detection using copulae (Talk @ University of Cambridge)

Doping control, or testing, is one of the essential components adopted by anti-doping organizations to protect clean sport competitions. Alongside the evaluation of athletes’ samples for prohibited substances or methods, the Athlete Biological …
