Contributions to Directional Statistics Based Clustering Methods
University of California Santa Barbara Contributions to Directional Statistics Based Clustering Methods A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Statistics & Applied Probability by Brian Dru Wainwright Committee in charge: Professor S. Rao Jammalamadaka, Chair Professor Alexander Petersen Professor John Hsu September 2019 The Dissertation of Brian Dru Wainwright is approved. Professor Alexander Petersen Professor John Hsu Professor S. Rao Jammalamadaka, Committee Chair June 2019 Contributions to Directional Statistics Based Clustering Methods Copyright © 2019 by Brian Dru Wainwright iii Dedicated to my loving wife, Carmen Rhodes, without whom none of this would have been possible, and to my sons, Max, Gus, and Judah, who have yet to know a time when their dad didn’t need to work from early till late. And finally, to my mother, Judith Moyer, without your tireless love and support from the beginning, I quite literally wouldn’t be here today. iv Acknowledgements I would like to offer my humble and grateful acknowledgement to all of the wonderful col- laborators I have had the fortune to work with during my graduate education. Much of the impetus for the ideas presented in this dissertation were derived from our work together. In particular, I would like to thank Professor György Terdik, University of Debrecen, Faculty of Informatics, Department of Information Technology. I would also like to thank Professor Saumyadipta Pyne, School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, and Mr. Hasnat Ali, L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India. I would like to extend a special thank you to Dr Alexander Petersen, who has held the dual role of serving on my Doctoral supervisory commit- tee as well as wearing the hat of collaborator. -

Recent Advances in Directional Statistics
Recent advances in directional statistics Arthur Pewsey1;3 and Eduardo García-Portugués2 Abstract Mainstream statistical methodology is generally applicable to data observed in Euclidean space. There are, however, numerous contexts of considerable scientific interest in which the natural supports for the data under consideration are Riemannian manifolds like the unit circle, torus, sphere and their extensions. Typically, such data can be represented using one or more directions, and directional statistics is the branch of statistics that deals with their analysis. In this paper we provide a review of the many recent developments in the field since the publication of Mardia and Jupp (1999), still the most comprehensive text on directional statistics. Many of those developments have been stimulated by interesting applications in fields as diverse as astronomy, medicine, genetics, neurology, aeronautics, acoustics, image analysis, text mining, environmetrics, and machine learning. We begin by considering developments for the exploratory analysis of directional data before progressing to distributional models, general approaches to inference, hypothesis testing, regression, nonparametric curve estimation, methods for dimension reduction, classification and clustering, and the modelling of time series, spatial and spatio- temporal data. An overview of currently available software for analysing directional data is also provided, and potential future developments discussed.

Datum/date: Unterschrift/signature: III Abstract The beginning of modern chronotherapy was the delivery of cancer medication according to circadian (about 24 h) rhythms in the 70s and 80s of the last century. Nowadays, there is a lot of knowledge on rhythms of medical conditions and especially on the exacerbation of symptoms with time of day. Chronic conditions ranging from asthma to stroke are studied intensively. -
