    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Markov decision processes; Reinforcement learning; Control; Building; Indoor comfort; Occupant; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Over half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a trend which is expected to only grow as we move further into the future. With this increasing trend in urbanisation, challenges are presented in the form of the management of urban infrastructure systems. READ MORE

  4. 12. Optimization heuristic solutions, how good can they be? : With empirical applications in location problems

    Author : Xiangli Meng; Kenneth Carling; Christoph Flath; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Combinatorial optimization problems, are one of the most important types of problems in operational research. Heuristic and metaheuristics algorithms are widely applied to find a good solution. READ MORE

  5. 13. On predictions, measurement, and causal inference : Essays on statistical correlations and statistical applications in labor market economics and criminology

    Author : Petra Ornstein; Johan Lyhagen; Per Johansson; Kenneth Carling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; risk marker studies; correlation measures; identification; field experiments; observational studies; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers covering a broad range of statistical themes, from prediction via correlation measures to causal inference.Paper I uses a nationally representative survey of separated Swedish women to examine whether men who strive to control their partners during their relationships are more likely to stalk or assault their ex-partners after separation.

  6. 14. Essays on the Assumption of Proportional Hazards in Cox Regression

    Author : Inger Persson; Kenneth Carling; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Informatics; computer and systems science; Proportional hazards; Cox regression; Proportionality assumption; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers about the assumption of proportional hazards for the Cox model in survival analysis. The first paper compares the hazard ratio estimated from the Cox model to an exact calculation of the geometric average of the hazard ratio when the underlying assumption of proportional hazards is false, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 15. Human mobility behavior : Transport mode detection by GPS data

    Author : Paria Sadeghian; Johan Håkansson; Xiaoyun Zhao; Kenneth Carling; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transport mode detection; Machine learning; Statistical learning; Rule-based method; Data labeling;

    Abstract : GPS tracking data are widely used to understand human travel behavior and to evaluate the impact of travel. A major advantage with the usage of GPS tracking devices for collecting data is that it enables the researcher to collect large amounts of highly accurate and detailed human mobility data. READ MORE
