  2. 1. Testing for Rationality, Separability and Efficiency

    Author : Per Hjertstrand; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Revealed preference; Regional convergence; Rationality; Nonparametric; NONPAR test; LP test; GARP; Efficiency; Data Envelopment Analysis DEA ; Afriat’s Theorem; Bootstrap; Swofford and Whitney test; Weak separability;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to propose, evaluate and apply test procedures for rationality, weak separability and efficiency. In particular, it focuses on nonparametric revealed preference procedures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Estimation and Inference for Quantile Regression of Longitudinal Data : With Applications in Biostatistics

    Author : Andreas Karlsson; Johan Lyhagen; Ulf Olsson; Kenneth Carling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Statistics; Bias correction; Bootstrap; Dependent errors; Hypothesis testing; Nonlinear model; Simulation study; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers dealing with estimation and inference for quantile regression of longitudinal data, with an emphasis on nonlinear models.The first paper extends the idea of quantile regression estimation from the case of cross-sectional data with independent errors to the case of linear or nonlinear longitudinal data with dependent errors, using a weighted estimator.

  5. 3. Chemometric methods for analysis of spectroscopic data from batch process monitoring

    Author : Erik Furusjö; KTH; []
    Keywords : in situ spectroscopy; reaction monitoring; organic synthesis; solubility; crystallization; multivariate calibration; curve resolution; kinetic model; reaction rate constant; activation energy; target testing; bootstrap;

    Abstract : Understanding of a process is essential for processdevelopment, optimisation and scale-up. In situ spectroscopy isan attractive measurement technique that can increase processunderstanding, since samples need not be retrieved from theprocess mixture. READ MORE

  6. 4. Monte Carlo Results for Bootstrap Tests in Systems with Integrated-Cointegrated Variables

    Author : Panagiotis Mantalos; Statistiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actuarial mathematics; programming; operations research; Statistics; Granger-causality; Monte Carlo; Cointegration; Bootstrap; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : When we study the properties of a test procedure, two aspects are of prime importance. Firstly, we wish to know if the actual size of the test (i.e., the probability of rejecting the null when true) is close to the nominal size (used for calculating the critical values). READ MORE

  7. 5. Testing Homogeneity and Unit Root Restrictions in Panels

    Author : Johan Blomquist; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Non-stationary panels; Panel unit root tests; Cross-sectional dependence; Homogeneity testing;

    Abstract : This thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first part contains three chapters, co-authored with Joakim Westerlund, that deal with the analysis of unit root testing, and the second part consists of two chapters on slope homogeneity testing. READ MORE
