The grammaticalization of the future and conditional tense in the history of Ibero-Romance: a language and dialect contact approach Ghent University
Developing statistical models for multivariate left-censored variables: a joint model using copula functions for the association and a conditional regression model with left-censored response and covariate variables. Hasselt University
An algebraic geometry perspective on conditional independence models. Ghent University
The proposed research is at the interface of statistics and algebraic geometry. I will develop combinatorial, and geometric tools to study various statistical models from an algebraic viewpoint. In particular, I will focus on the study of Conditional Independence Models, Graphical Models, and
Gaussoids. I will use the developed techniques to study related applications in computer vision and rigidity theory.

Back behind bars: an empirical study into the experience of prisoners in the recall of semi detention, electronic monitoring and conditional release KU Leuven
The recall of a release modality (such as a conditional release) is a particularly painful experience. The experiences during a release modality can also be very painful and varied: uncertainty, stigmatization, a large number of imposed conditions, constant control and supervision, etc. In addition, a return to prison as a result of a recall can also be experienced as emotional, painful and harmful because of the loss that the recall entails. ...

On copula-based conditional dependency concepts and global dependency measures KU Leuven
Dependencies between two or more random variables can be influenced by some other random variables. Take for instance the dependency between male and female life expectancies at birth in various countries. This dependence turns out to be different in poor and wealthy countries. Such kind of dependencies that take the influence of a covariate on the dependency of the set of random variables into account are called conditional dependencies. ...
Assessment of conditional preferences and decision making in utilization of SRH services among SGBV survivors in Dadaab refugee camp: Developing predictive models using game theory Ghent University
Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is a major public health problem in refugee camps for which adequate health services should be available. However, determinants that influence survivors’ health care seeking behavior are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to develop, based on game theory, predictive models that explain and predict health care seeking behavior of SGBV survivors.
