1. ## 1. Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference : Estimating Diversification Rates from Reconstructed Phylogenies

Abstract : Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary relationship between species. Inference of phylogeny relies heavily on statistical models that have been extended and refined tremendously over the past years into very complex hierarchical models. READ MORE

2. ## 2. Learning of probabilistic inference tasks : effects of uncertainty and function form

Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; Inference; learning; cognition;

Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the problem of how people learn to use uncer­tain information for making judgments. The general framework for the thesis is Social Judgment Theory (SJT). First the S3T paradigm, and some research conducted within the paradigm, is briefly described, and a series of four empirical studies is summarized. READ MORE

3. ## 3. Percolation: Inference and Applications in Hydrology

Abstract : Percolation theory is a branch of probability theory describing connectedness in a stochastic network. The connectedness of a percolation process is governed by a few, typically one or two, parameters. READ MORE

4. ## 4. Inference in a Partially Observed Percolation Process

Abstract : In this licentiate thesis, inference in a partially oberved percolation process living on a graph, is considered. Each edge of the graph is declared open with probability $\theta$ and closed with probability $1-\theta$ independently of the states of all other edges. READ MORE

5. ## 5. Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference

Abstract : In this thesis we consider two very different topics in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. The first paper, "Inferring speciation and extinction rates under different sampling schemes" by Sebastian Höhna, Tanja Stadler, Fredrik Ronquist and Tom Britton, focuses on estimating the rates of speciation and extinction of species when only a subsample of the present day species is available.
