2. 1. 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

4. 2. Semi Markov chain Monte Carlo

   Author : Håkan Ljung; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Adaptive simulation; error-in-the-variables; Kullback-Leibler divergence; Markov chain simulation; Markov chain Monte Carlo; semi-regenerative; MATEMATIK; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

   Abstract : The first paper introduces a new simulation technique, called semi Markov chain Monte Carlo, suitable for estimating the expectation of a fixed function over a distribution π, Eπf(χ). Given a Markov chain with stationary distribution p, for example a Markov chain corresponding to a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, an embedded Markov renewal process is used to divide the trajectory into different parts.

5. 3. Models for capturing the penetration of a diffusant concentration into rubber : Numerical analysis and simulation

   Author : Surendra Nepal; Adrian Muntean; Nadja Ray; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transport of diffusants; moving-boundary problem; finite element method; a priori and a posteriori error estimates; random walk method; two-scale coupled system; Matematik; Mathematics;

   Abstract : Understanding the transport of diffusants into rubber plays an important role in forecasting the material's durability. In this regard, we study different models, conduct numerical analysis, and present simulation results that predict the evolution of the penetration front of diffusants. READ MORE

6. 4. Survey models for a vehicle speed survey

   Author : Annica Isaksson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; frame error; missing data; error model; optimum allocation; total error; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : The impact of some errors, associated with a road traffic survey, is examined. The survey aims at evaluating efforts to reduce the speeds on Swedish roads. It covers both state and urban roads, but we consider only the latter. From these roads, observational sites are selected by a three-stage sampling procedure. READ MORE

7. 5. The Skorohod problem and weak approximation of stochastic differential equations in time-dependent domains

   Author : Thomas Önskog; Kaj Nyström; Leif Persson; Johan Tysk; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Skorohod problem; weak approximation; time-dependent domain; stochastic differential equations; parabolic partial differential equations; oblique reflection; stopped diffusions; Euler scheme; adaptive methods; sensitivity analysis; financial derivatives; Greeks ; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Mathematics; matematik;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of a summary and four scientific articles. All four articles consider various aspects of stochastic differential equations and the purpose of the summary is to provide an introduction to this subject and to supply the notions required in order to fully understand the articles.
