PhD Thesis

• Christopher J. Rose. Statistical Models of Mammographic Texture and Appearance. PhD Thesis, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom, 2005. Download

  Briefly, the thesis includes:

  • Background on the clinical problem of breast cancer, with a UK emphasis.
  • A description of a parametric statistical model that unifies Efros and Leung’s and Efros and Freeman’s texture synthesis algorithms. In particular we investigated how textural abnormalities may be statistically detected using such models via novelty detection.
  • A description of a generative parametric statistical model, learned from training data, that allows simulated mammograms to be realistically synthesised.
  • A description of density estimation using GMMs, learning model parameters using k-means and EM.
  • A derivation of both the marginal and conditional distributions for single Gaussian components and GMMs. These results are extended to the case where the GMM is built in low-dimensional PCA spaces.
  • A step-by-step proof of the convergence property of the EM algorithm.
