Abstract
In this thesis, we visit four topics in statistical learning: Cluster-Aware Lasso, an adaptation of lasso dealing with correlated features in supervised learning, which uses a hierarchical clustering-based approach to adaptively select clusters of features. Confidence Intervals for Generalisation Error in Random Forests, an effort to extend the out-of-bag error point estimate in random forests to a confidence interval with appropriate coverage for generalisation error. Prediction of Gestational age using metabolite data, approaches to a specific problem type in supervised learning in which multiple observations are made at different time points for a given unit and the response is a time to or from a fixed event. Statistical Summaries of unlabelled evolutionary trees, techniques for summarising samples and distributions on a class of tree structures which are ranked and unlabelled.
