Scholarship Details:
This project is a cooperation between Mathematical Statistics and the department of Biology at Lund University, and the research will apply classification algorithms on a new exiting application area. A long-term study of the a Great reed warbler population in Sweden is ongoing where among other parameters, the song is recorded. The properties in the song are still an unexplored field, where the aim for future studies is to understand the role of the song in an ecological and evolutionary context. This work is also motivated by recent developments within time-frequency analysis of non-stationary processes and the increased use of time-frequency analysis in many application areas. We focus on using multitapers, which are low-rank approximations of time-frequency kernels. The low-rank multitaper spectrogram estimators are much more computationally efficient compared to many other time-frequency techniques. The multitapers can also be designed to fulfill properties of data from a specific application. The project will focus on the construction of a reliable program tool for analysis and classification of syllables of the song.
