  2. 6. Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference : Estimating Diversification Rates from Reconstructed Phylogenies

    Author : Sebastian Höhna; Tom Britton; Fredrik Ronquist; Ziheng Yang; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phylogenetics; Bayesian inference; Graphical Models; Birth-Death Process; Diversification; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    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

  4. 7. Stochastic epidemic models in heterogeneous communities

    Author : David Lindenstrand; Tom Britton; Åke Svensson; Denis Mollison; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : The aim of Paper I is to explain where randomness should be taken into account when modelling epidemic spread, i.e. when a stochastic model is preferable to a deterministic counterpart. READ MORE

  6. 9. Stochastic Epidemic Models : Different Aspects of Heterogeneity

    Author : Mathias Lindholm; Tom Britton; Maria Deijfen; Gianpaolo Scalia Tomba; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the study of stochastic epidemic models for infectious diseases in heterogeneous populations. All diseases treated are of SIR type, i.e. individuals are either Susceptible, Infectious or Recovered (and immune). READ MORE

  7. 10. Empirical Bayes Methods for DNA Microarray Data

    Author : Ingrid Lönnstedt; Allan Gut; Tom Britton; Mette Langaas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical statistics; two-channel microarrays; differential expression; replication; empirical Bayes; factorial design; interaction; time trends; hierarchical Bayes; MCMC simulations; ANOVA; F-statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : cDNA microarrays is one of the first high-throughput gene expression technologies that has emerged within molecular biology for the purpose of functional genomics. cDNA microarrays compare the gene expression levels between cell samples, for thousands of genes simultaneously.
