Methods To Improve Inference From Dependent Network Data, Dongah Kim
Methods To Improve Inference From Dependent Network Data, Dongah Kim
Doctoral Dissertations
Over the past decade, network research has increased dramatically. Network data are used in many fields because they contain not only covariates of each observation, but also `relationships' between observations. Therefore, statistical analysis of network data has been rapidly developed. However, network data presents many challenges, such as collecting network data, inferring the prevalence of an outcome of interest, and valid statistical testing typically with highly dependent data. The methods discussed in this thesis are developed to improve statistical inference from dependent network data.

Networking systems consist of network infrastructures and the end-hosts have been essential in supporting our daily communication, delivering huge amount of content and large number of services, and providing large scale distributed computing. To monitor and optimize the performance of such networking systems, or to provide flexible functionalities for the applications running on top of them, it is important to know the internal metrics of the networking systems such as link loss rates or path delays. The internal metrics are often not directly available due to the scale and complexity of the networking systems. This motivates the techniques of inference …
