2. 1. Calibration Adjustment for Nonresponse in Sample Surveys

   Author : Bernardo João Rota; Thomas Laitila; Sune Karlsson; Risto Lehtonen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Auxiliary variables; Calibration; Nonresponse; principal com-ponents; regression estimator; response probability; survey sampling; two-step estimator; variance estimator; weighting; Statistics; Statistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we discuss calibration estimation in the presence of nonresponse with a focus on the linear calibration estimator and the propensity calibration estimator, along with the use of different levels of auxiliary information, that is, sample and population levels. This is a fourpapers- based thesis, two of which discuss estimation in two steps. READ MORE

4. 2. Reinforcement Learning Using Local Adaptive Models

   Author : Magnus Borga; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the theory of reinforcement learning is described and its relation to learning in biological systems is discussed. Some basic issues in reinforcement learning, the credit assignment problem and perceptual aliasing, are considered. The methods of temporal difference are described. READ MORE

5. 3. Learning Multidimensional Signal Processing

   Author : Magnus Borga; Hans Knutsson; Josef Kittler; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : The subject of this dissertation is to show how learning can be used for multidimensional signal processing, in particular computer vision. Learning is a wide concept, but it can generally be defined as a system’s change of behaviour in order to improve its performance in some sense. READ MORE

6. 4. Adaptive analysis of functional MRI data

   Author : Ola Friman; William M. Wells III; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is a recently developed neuroimaging technique with capacity to map neural activity with high spatial precision. To locate active brain areas, the method utilizes local blood oxygenation changes which are reflected as small intensity changes in a special type of MR images. READ MORE

7. 5. Modern landfill leachates – quality and treatment

   Author : Hanna Modin; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heavy metals; European Landfill Directive; Biodegradation; Landfill leachate; Leaching tests; Multivariate data analysis; Organic matter; Sorption filters;

   Abstract : Waste management in Europe has changed, mainly as a result of stricter regulations, most notably the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. In Sweden, landfill tax and a ban on the landfilling of waste with total organic carbon content over 10 % have diverted large amounts of waste from landfills. READ MORE
