TY - THES A1 - Wild, Matthias T1 - A statistical perspective on machine learning: three essays on improvement, application and interpretation of predictive algorithms N2 - In this thesis we address a series of topics at the interface between statistics and machine learning. This includes the improvement of predictive algorithms using statistical concepts, potential and challenges in the application of predictive algorithms in areas traditionally covered by statistical theory, and the interpretation of black-box algorithms by means of statistical hypothesis testing.
