2. 1. Four applications of stochastic processes : Contagious disease, credit risk, gambling and bond portfolios

   Author : Patrik Andersson; Andreas Nordvall Lagerås; Håkan Andersson; Stewart N. Ethier; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic processes; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers on applications of stochastic processes. In Paper I we study an open population SIS (Susceptible - Infective - Susceptible) stochastic epidemic model from the time of introduction of the disease, through a possible outbreak and to extinction. The analysis uses coupling arguments and diffusion approximations. READ MORE

4. 2. Wavelet Analysis of Economic Time Series

   Author : Fredrik N G Andersson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; freight transportation activity; wavelet analysis; cointegration; inflation; bandspectrum regression; money; coreinflation;

   Abstract : Economic theory commonly distinguishes between different time horizons such as the short run and the long run. Models with many time horizons are easily studied in the frequency domain, because the various time horizons are associated with a particular frequency or band of frequencies. READ MORE
