2. 1. Parameter Estimation : Towards Data-Driven and Privacy Preserving Approaches

   Author : Braghadeesh Lakshminarayanan; Cristian R. Rojas; Simone Garatti; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Parameter estimation; System identification;

   Abstract : Parameter estimation is a pivotal task across various domains such as system identification, statistics, and machine learning. The literature presents numerous estimation procedures, many of which are backed by well-studied asymptotic properties. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring Software Cost Estimation Inaccuracy

   Author : Ana Magazinius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; organizational politics; estimation inhibitors; project management; software cost and effort estimation; learning in organizations; informal use of estimates;

   Abstract : The inaccuracy of software cost estimates has for long been a source of frustration to software practitioners and cost estimation researchers. Despite huge efforts to improve this important practice, estimation accuracy is still low. This thesis uses empirical and theoretical evidence to investigate why this problem persists. READ MORE

5. 3. Cost Optimization of Aircraft Structures

   Author : Markus Kaufmann; Dan Zenkert; Malin Åkermo; Per Wennhage; Erik Lund; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aircraft structures; optimization; cost estimation; manufacturing cost; direct operating cost; multiobjective optimization; multidisciplinary optimization; composites; airframe design; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. Due to the higher process complexity and the high material cost, however, the low weight often comes with a significant increase in production cost. The application of cost-effective design strategies is one mean to meet this challenge. READ MORE

6. 4. Risk Management in Tunneling Projects : Estimation and Planning

   Author : Mohammad Mohammadi; Johan Spross; Fredrik Johansson; Stefan Larsson; Anna Kadefors; Amund Bruland; KTH; []
   Keywords : Cost overrun; Transport infrastructure projects; Time and cost estimation; Probabilistic approaches; Tunneling; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : Cost overruns and schedule delays are frequently observed occurrences in the construction of transport infrastructure projects. Such phenomena lead to the mismanagement of significant amounts of both public and private resources. READ MORE

7. 5. On Parameter Estimation : Applications in Radio Astronomy and Power Networks

   Author : Jonas Lundbäck; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Parameter estimation; Antenna arrays; FMCW-radar; Polarization estimation; Fault locator;

   Abstract : Signal processing is a common part of the modern society used to obtain high functionality in a vast number of applications. As the development of advanced electronics and powerful computers continue, the limit of the functionality in many systems is increased. READ MORE
