  2. 1. Radiation Therapy Patient Scheduling: An Operations Research Approach

    Author : Sara Frimodig; Per Enqvist; Jan Kronqvist; Mats Carlsson; Willem-Jan van Hoeve; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiation therapy scheduling; patient scheduling; multi-appointment scheduling; operations research; integer programming; constraint programming; column generation; Schemaläggning; strålterapi; operationsanalys; heltalsprogrammering; villkorsprogrammering; kolumngenerering; Optimeringslära och systemteori; Optimization and Systems Theory;

    Abstract : The manual scheduling of patients for radiation therapy is difficult and labor-intensive. With the increase in cancer patient numbers, efficient resource planning is an important tool to achieve short waiting times and equal right to care. This thesis studies an operations research approach to the radiation therapy scheduling problem.

  4. 2. On Parameter Estimation and Control of Time-Varying Stochastic Systems

    Author : Bengt Lindoff; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; Adaptive Predictive Control; Adaptive Stochastic Control; Dual Control; Convergence Analysis; Quadratic Forms; Forgetting Factor; Recursive Least Squares; Recursive Estimation; Linear Systems; Time-Varying Stochastic Systems; operations research; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : This thesis is about parameter estimation and control of time-varying stochastic systems. It can be divided into two parts. The first part deals with an estimation algorithm commonly used when estimating parameters in time-varying stochastic systems, the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm with forgetting factor.

  5. 3. Statistical Analysis of Crests and Maxima in Gaussian Seas

    Author : Jesper Rydén; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; programmering; aktuariematematik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi; Statistik; operationsanalys; actuarial mathematics; programming; Statistics; operations research; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : An important problem in ocean engineering is to find distributions for characteristic wave parameters. For wind-generated water waves at deep water, a Gaussian distribution for the wave-surface elevation is considered a reasonable model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Statistical Modeling of Diffusion Processes with Financial Applications

    Author : Erik Lindström; Finansiell matematik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operations research; programming; Option pricing; Model validation; Recursive estimation; Diffusion processes; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers (Paper A-E) on statistical modeling of diffusion processes. Two papers (Paper A & D) consider Maximum Likelihood estimators for non-linear diffusion processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Space-Time Prediction of Ocean Winds

    Author : Anders Malmberg; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; operations research; image warping; thin-plate splines.; near-surface ocean winds; variogram parameters; Space-time Kalman filtering; real-time assimilation; residual wind speed; actuarial mathematics; programming; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : The topic of this thesis is inspired by an experiment in which a vessel, laying a submarine cable, was provided with forecasts overlaid with satellite observations of significant wave height. During the operation, the vessel was close to an adverse weather area and the personnel on board could confirm that the forecast was not as close to the "ground truth" as the satellite observation was.
