  2. 6. Models of Surface Roughness with Applications in Paper Industry

    Author : Jan-Olof Johansson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistik; actuarial mathematics; operations research; programming; Matematik; Statistics; Mathematics; estimation.; Surface roughness; parametric models; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; Wood; pulp and paper technology; Pappers- och massateknik;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises general parametric models for surface roughness. The models can be used in several technical and natural applications but are here only applied to the micro-structure of paper. In that application, earlier models are generalized and new models introduced. READ MORE

  4. 7. Topics in Human Gene Mapping

    Author : Azra Kurbasic; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; programming; Statistics; Mathematics; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; hidden Markov model; linkage analysis; Human genome; disease gene; programmering; aktuariematematik; operationsanalys; operations research; Matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis is interdisciplinary between Mathematical Statistics, Genetics, and Medicine. It mainly consists of topics in mathematical modelling of the correlation of inheritance of genes and disease in a family, a method called linkage analysis. It is organized as follows. READ MORE

  5. 8. On Bounds and Asymptotics of Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Filtering, Smoothing, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation in State Space Models

    Author : Jimmy Olsson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actuarial mathematics; programming; operations research; Statistics; Matematik; Mathematics; state space models; smoothing; sequential Monte Carlo; particle filter; EM algorithm; maximum likelihood; consistency; Asymptotic normality; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on four papers (A-D) treating filtering, smoothing, and maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in general state space models using stochastic particle filters (also referred to as sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods). The aim of Paper A is to study the bias of Monte Carlo integration estimates produced by the so-called bootstrap particle filter. READ MORE

  6. 9. Two-Barrier Problems in Applied Probability: Algorithms and Analysis

    Author : Mats Pihlsgård; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; Matematik; Mathematics; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; Reflection; Stochastic processes; Applied probability; Queueing; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers (A-E). In Paper A, we study transient properties of the queue length process in various queueing settings. We focus on computing the mean and the Laplace transform of the time required for the queue length starting at $x0. We define the loss rate due to the reflection. READ MORE

  7. 10. Statistical Analysis of Crests and Maxima in Gaussian Seas

    Author : Jesper Rydén; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; programmering; aktuariematematik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi; Statistik; operationsanalys; actuarial mathematics; programming; Statistics; operations research; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : An important problem in ocean engineering is to find distributions for characteristic wave parameters. For wind-generated water waves at deep water, a Gaussian distribution for the wave-surface elevation is considered a reasonable model. READ MORE
