  2. 1. Statistical Properties of Preliminary Test Estimators

    Author : Nicklas Korsell; Rolf Larsson; Johan Lyhagen; Tore Schweder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Statistics; Linear regression; Preliminary test; Model selection; Test for homoscedasticity; Variance components; Truncated estimators; Inertia of matrices; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the statistical properties of preliminary test estimators of linear models with normally distributed errors. Specifically, we derive exact expressions for the mean, variance and quadratic risk (i.e. the Mean Square Error) of estimators whose form are determined by the outcome of a statistical test.

  4. 2. Extensions of the kernel method of test score equating

    Author : Gabriel Wallin; Marie Wiberg; Jenny Häggström; Anton A. Béguin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Test equating; Nonequivalent groups; Standard error of equating; bandwidth selection; log-linear models; item response theory; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis makes contributions within the area of test score equating and specifically kernel equating. The first paper of this thesis studies the estimation of the test score distributions needed in kernel equating. READ MORE

  5. 3. Contributions to generalized Wilcoxon rank tests

    Author : Marie-Louise Öhman; Hans Nyquist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Censored data rank sum tests; Gehan s test; Generalized Wilcoxon test; Jackknifing; Two sample problem; Simulation; Survival data; Variance estimation; Influence function; Gross error sensitivity; Sensitivity curve; Misclassification; Statistics; computer and systems science; Statistik; data- och systemvetenskap; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : In unbalanced small sample size problems with right censorings, the variance estmators of linear rank statistics, may be biased. This is the case with the commonly applied variance estimators for the generalized Wilcoxon rank test statistics of Gehan and Prentice. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of adaptive mesh refinement in the spectral element method

    Author : Nicolas Offermans; Philipp Schlatter; Ananias Tomboulides; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Error estimators; mesh refinement; adaptivity; spectral element method; algebraic multigrid method; NACA4412; periodic hill case.; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the improvement of the efficiency of numerical simulations in computational fluid dynamics. Some of the limitations of current algorithms on future exascale supercomputers are addressed with the main goal of using adaptive mesh refinement for the simulation of turbulent and three-dimensional flows.
