    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semi-Markov process; discrete time; insurance; actuarial; higher order reward; disability; variance; skewness; kurtosis; reward process; stochastic volatility; controlling semi-Markov process; Monte Carlo algorithm; convergence; optimal stopping; skeleton approximation; regime switching; semi-Markov modulated; European option; American option; Lévy process.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of semi-Markov models for insurance and option rewards. The thesis consists of the introduction and six papers. The introduction presents the results of the thesis in an informal way.In paper A, a general semi-Markov reward model is presented. READ MORE

  4. 2. Feature Informativeness, Curse-of-Dimensionality and Error Probability in Discriminant Analysis

    Author : Tatjana Pavlenko; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; Matematik; Mathematics; feature selection; Discriminant analysis; feature informativeness; growing dimension assymptotics; operations research; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; Multivariate analysis; MATHEMATICS;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on four papers on high-dimensional discriminant analysis. Throughout, the curse-of-dimensionality effect on the precision of the discrimination performance is emphasized. A growing dimension asymptotic approach is used for assessing this effect and the limiting error probability are taken as the performance criteria. READ MORE

  5. 3. Derivative Prices for Models using Levy Processes and Markov Switching

    Author : Sebastian Rasmus; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; programming; operations research; Statistics; Regime switching; Levy processes; Derivative pricing; Computer simulations; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to mathematics, finance and computer simulations. In terms of mathematics this thesis concerns applied probability and Lévy processes and from the financial point of view the thesis concerns derivative pricing. Within these two areas several simulation techniques are investigated. The thesis is organized as follows. READ MORE

  6. 4. Filtering and Wavelet Regression Methods with Application to Exercise ECG

    Author : Stefan Peterson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aktuariematematik; programmering; operationsanalys; Statistik; actuarial mathematics; programming; operations research; Statistics; Model Selection; Robust Estimation; Haar Wavelets; Wavelets; Time Series Analysis; Exercise ECG; Kalman Filter;

    Abstract : The analysis of the recorded electrical activity of the heart during an exercise test is a valuable method for investigating a patient's circulatory and respiratory system. But the disturbances that occurr during a test often make it difficult to interpret the signal in order to detect changes evoked by the increased workload and related to for instance coronary artery diseases.

  7. 5. Some aspects of statistical inference in systems of equations

    Author : Ghazi Shukur; Statistiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; small sample properties.; misspecification; system of equations; dynamic specification; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to develop a strategy for statistical/econometric inferences applicable to systemwise testing of econometric models. A common deficiency in many applied econometric studies is the absence of statistical diagnostic testing. READ MORE
