  4. 2. Modeling of Electron Cooling : Theory, Data and Applications

    Author : Karin Rathsman; Tord Johansson; Pia Thörngren; Dieter Prasuhn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electron cooling; Beam dynamics; Vlasov technique; Nonlinear damping; Monte Carlo simulations; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Nuclear Physics; Kärnfysik;

    Abstract : The Vlasov technique is used to model the electron cooling force. Limitations of the applicability of the method is obtained by considering the perturbations of the electron plasma. READ MORE

  5. 3. Estimators of semiparametric truncated and censored regression models

    Author : Maria Karlsson; Thomas Laitila; Göran Broström; Kenneth Carling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; LTRC; consistency; asymtotic normality; bootstrap; interpurchase intervals; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes in several ways to the existing knowledge on estimation of truncated, censored, and left truncated right censored (LTRC) regression models. Three new semiparametric estimators are proposed, allowing for asymmetric error distributions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Different Aspects of Inference for Spatio-Temporal Point Processes

    Author : Ottmar Cronie; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptotic normality; Consistency; Edge correction; Immigration-death process; Least squares estimation; Maximum likelihood estimation; Spatio-temporal marked point process; Transition probability.; Consistency;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with inference problems related to the Renshaw-Särkkä growth interaction model (RS-model). It is a continuous time spatio-temporal point process with time dependent interacting marks, in which the immigrationdeath process (a continuous time Markov chain) controls the arrivals of new marked points as well as their potential life-times.

  7. 5. Challenging consistency : effects of brand-incongruent communications

    Author : Fredrik Törn; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This is a thesis on how established brands can enhance their strength, interestingness, and vitality. A threat to contemporary established brands is that they may in fact be too well established to be interesting and stimulate curiosity among consumers. READ MORE
