  2. 1. Biophysical chemistry of the ALS-associated protein SOD1 : Implications for folding, aggregation and in-cell behaviour

    Author : Fan Yang; Mikael Oliveberg; Per Jemth; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SOD1 ALS folding in-cell NMR aggregation; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Biophysical chemistry deals with the structural behavior, properties and molecular function of biological macromolecules. A long-standing challenge is here to establish how these macromolecular features change upon transfer from simplified conditions in vitro to the crowded and molecularly complex environment of live cells.

  5. 3. Contributions to Kernel Equating

    Author : Björn Andersson; Fan Yang-Wallentin; Marie Wiberg; Alina A. von Davier; Jorge González; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; observed-score test equating; item response theory; R; equipercentile equating; asymptotic standard errors; non-equivalent groups with anchor test design; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : The statistical practice of equating is needed when scores on different versions of the same standardized test are to be compared. This thesis constitutes four contributions to the observed-score equating framework kernel equating. READ MORE

  6. 4. Essays on Estimation Methods for Factor Models and Structural Equation Models

    Author : Shaobo Jin; Fan Yang-Wallentin; Rolf Larsson; Li Cai; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shrinkage; factor rotation; penalized maximum likelihood; pseudo-maximum likelihood; multi-group analysis; ordinal data; robustness; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis which consists of four papers is concerned with estimation methods in factor analysis and structural equation models. New estimation methods are proposed and investigated.In paper I an approximation of the penalized maximum likelihood (ML) is introduced to fit an exploratory factor analysis model. READ MORE

  7. 5. Composite Likelihood Estimation for Latent Variable Models with Ordinal and Continuous, or Ranking Variables

    Author : Myrsini Katsikatsou; Fan Yang-Wallentin; Irini Moustaki; Karl Gustav Jöreskog; Ruggero Bellio; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; latent variable models; factor analysis; structural equation models; Thurstonian model; item response theory; composite likelihood estimation; pairwise likelihood estimation; maximum likelihood; weighted least squares; ordinal variables; ranking variables; lavaan; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : The estimation of latent variable models with ordinal and continuous, or ranking variables is the research focus of this thesis. The existing estimation methods are discussed and a composite likelihood approach is developed. READ MORE
