Dependability and safety

Our abilities in probability and statistics apply naturally to industry, in particular in studies of dependability and safety. An illustrative example is the collaboration that started in September 2014 with with THALES Optronique. The goal of this project is the optimization of the maintenance of an onboard system equipped with a HUMS (Health Unit Monitoring Systems). The physical system under consideration is modeled by a piecewise deterministic Markov process. In the context of impulse control, we propose a dynamic maintenance policy, adapted to the state of the system and taking into account both random failures and those related to the degradation phenomenon.

The spectrum of applications of the topics that the team can address is large and can concern many other fields. Indeed non parametric and semi-parametric regression methods can be used in biometry, econometrics or engineering for instance. Gene selection from microarray data and text categorization are two typical application domains of dimension reduction among others. We had for instance the opportunity via the scientific program PRIMEQUAL to work on air quality data and to use dimension reduction techniques as principal component analysis (PCA) or positive matrix factorization (PMF) for pollution sources identification and quantization.
