  2. 1. Testing for Periodicity and Trend in Long-Memory Processes

    Author : Abdullah Almasri; Statistiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; temperature data.; sunspots data; wind speed data; varve data; Siegel’s test; Fisher’s test; periodogram; Fractional difference process; Discrete wavelet transform; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; Wavelets; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents methods of testing the periodicity and trend for the time series, which exhibit dependence over long periods of time. Many such processes can be modeled by a class of models called fractionally differenced processes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Climatic signals and frequencies in the Swedish Time Scale, River Ångermanälven, Central Sweden

    Author : Mikkel Sander; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; geomorphology; Physical geography; winter precipitation; climate change; central Sweden; last 2000 year; discharge; varve;

    Abstract : Any future climate variation forced by human activities will be superimposed on the background of natural climate variation. Therefore, before interpreting the present climate and addressing future climate scenarios some knowledge of past climate is necessary. READ MORE

  5. 3. Combining limnology and paleolimnology : a refined understanding of environmental sediment signal formation in a varved lake

    Author : Dominique Béatrice Maier; Christian Bigler; Sebastian Diehl; Jasmine E. Saros; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; varved lake sediments; diatom sediment signal formation; sequential sediment trap; seasonal process timing; ice thinning; varve compaction; climate impact; catchment properties; Earth Sciences with Specialization Environmental Analysis; geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys;

    Abstract : Paleoclimatic archives, such as lake sediments, extend our understanding of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem dynamics in relation to climate variability beyond the period covered by instrumental data. In this context, annually laminated (i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Varved lake sediments and diagenetic processes

    Author : Veronika Gälman; Ingemar Renberg; Daniel Conley; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Varved annually laminated lake sediment; diagenesis; varve appearance; iron; sulfur; chemical speciation; iron cycling; carbon; nitrogen; stabile isotopes; δ13C; δ15N; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Varved (annually laminated) sediments are of great interest for inference of past environmental conditions, as they provide dated records with high time resolution. After deposition, the sediment varves are affected by diagenesis; i.e., chemical, physical and biological changes that occur within the sediment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Functional clustering methods and marital fertility modelling

    Author : Per Arnqvist; Sara Sjöstedt de Luna; Leif Nilsson; Helle Sørensen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; censoring; Coale-Trussell model; EM-algorithm; functional data analysis; functional clustering; marital fertility; normal approximation; Poisson process; varved lake sediments; warping; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of two parts.The first part considers further development of a model used for marital fertility, the Coale-Trussell's fertility model, which is based on age-specific fertility rates. A new model is suggested using individual fertility data and a waiting time after pregnancies. READ MORE
