Here the output variable generally provides information about the systems behaviour/structure, and the aim is to learn the input-output relationship, even though little to no information on the output is available, as in multiple real-world problems. Once the output values have been bespoke-learnt, the originally-absent training set of input-output pairs becomes available, so that (supervised) learning of the sought inter-variable relation is then possible. Three ways of undertaking such bespoke learning are offered: by tapping into system dynamics in generic dynamical systems, to learn the function that causes the systems evolution; by comparing realisations of a random graph variable, given multivariate time series datasets of disparate temporal coverage; and by designing maximally information-availing likelihoods in static systems. These methodologies are applied to four different real-world problems: forecasting daily COVID-19 infection numbers; learning the gravitational mass density in a real galaxy; learning a sub-surface material density function; and predicting the risk of onset of a disease following bone marrow transplants. Primarily aimed at graduate and postgraduate students studying a field which includes facets of statistical learning, the book will also benefit experts working in a wide range of applications. The prerequisites are undergraduate level probability and stochastic processes, and preliminary ideas on Bayesian statistics. 001471767 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 21, 2023). 001471767 650_0 $$aMachine learning$$xStatistical methods. 001471767 650_0 $$aBayesian statistical decision theory. 001471767 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001471767 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031310101$$z9783031310102$$w(OCoLC)1373337772 001471767 852__ $$bebk 001471767 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-31011-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001471767 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471767$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471767 980__ $$aBIB 001471767 980__ $$aEBOOK 001471767 982__ $$aEbook 001471767 983__ $$aOnline 001471767 994__ $$a92$$bISE
