  2. 1. Algorithmically Guided Information Visualization : Explorative Approaches for High Dimensional, Mixed and Categorical Data

    Author : Sara Johansson Fernstad; Mikael Jern; Jimmy Johansson; Jane Shaw; Matthew O. Ward; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Information visualization; data mining; high dimensional data; categorical data; mixed data;

    Abstract : Facilitated by the technological advances of the last decades, increasing amounts of complex data are being collected within fields such as biology, chemistry and social sciences. The major challenge today is not to gather data, but to extract useful information and gain insights from it. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimization of truck tyres selection

    Author : Zuzana Nedelkova; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; radial basis function; categorical variables; truck tyres; simulation-based optimization; surrogate model; approximately optimal solution; efficient solution; rolling resistance coefficient; vehicle dynamics; simulation-based optimization;

    Abstract : This thesis, which consists of an introduction and five appended papers, concerns the optimal selection of tyres for a variety of vehicle configurations as well as operating environments. The selection problem stems from a project cooperation between Chalmers University of Technology and Volvo Group Trucks Technology. READ MORE

  5. 3. Product Configuration from a Mathematical Optimization Perspective

    Author : Peter Lindroth; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimization; multiple objectives; platform-based products; heavy-duty trucks; configuration management; categorical variables; global optimization; robustness; categorical variables;

    Abstract : The optimal truck configuration for a certain customer is very specific and depends on for what transport mission and in which operating environment the truck is to be used. In addition, the customers normally specify other feature requirements ranging from visual appearance to advanced driver support systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pharmacometric Methods and Novel Models for Discrete Data

    Author : Elodie L Plan; Mats O Karlsson; Laura Sargentini-Maier; Armel Stockis; Christian Laveille; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; pharmacodynamics; disease progression; modelling; discrete data; count; ordered categorical; repeated time-to-event; RTTCE; RCEpT; NONMEM; FOCE; LAPLACE; SAEM; AGQ; pain scores; epilepsy seizures; gastroesophageal symptoms; statistical power; simulations; diagnostics; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : Pharmacodynamic processes and disease progression are increasingly characterized with pharmacometric models. However, modelling options for discrete-type responses remain limited, although these response variables are commonly encountered clinical endpoints. Types of data defined as discrete data are generally ordinal, e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Some properties of measures of disagreement and disorder in paired ordinal data

    Author : Hans Högberg; Elisabeth Svensson; Sture Holm; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agreement; augmented ranks; categorical data; disorder; jackknife; paired ordinal data; rating scales; sample size; sampling distribution; simulation; U-statistics; variance; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : The measures studied in this thesis were a measure of disorder, D, and a measure of the individual part of the disagreement, the measure of relative rank variance, RV, proposed by Svensson in 1993. The measure of disorder is a useful measure of order consistency in paired assessments of scales with a different number of possible values. READ MORE
