  1. 1. Some binary response situations : theory and applications

    Author : Karin Dahmström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In a binary response situation we are studying an event which either occurs or does not occur. Such situations are treated in the following five reports. In report I, there is a review of different statistical models and analysis methods for, in particular, nonexperimental surveys. READ MORE

  2. 2. Brain Emotional Learning-Inspired Models

    Author : Mahboobeh Parsapoor; Bertil Svensson; Urban Bilstrup; Christian Balkenius; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis the mammalian nervous system and mammalian brain have been used as inspiration to develop a computational intelligence model based on the neural structure of fear conditioning and to extend the structure of the previous proposed amygdala-orbitofrontal model. The proposed model can be seen as a framework for developing general computational intelligence based on the emotional system instead of traditional models on the rational system of the human brain.

  3. 3. Topics in optimal design of experiments

    Author : Sofia Normark; Hans Nyquist; Johan Lyhagen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimal design; factorial experiments; minimax designs; efficiency; locally optimal designs; generalized linear models; binary data; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to optimal design of experiments in situations where the optimal design depends on unknown parameters. Such situations often occur when the response variable does not have normal distribution, as is the case with many generalized linear models (GLM) and many models for binary response. READ MORE

  4. 4. 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. 5. A Non-Stationary perspective on the European and Swedish Business Cycle

    Author : Louise Holm; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business cycles; business cycle dating; non-parametric smoothing; non-stationarity; recession prediction; interest rate spread; binary respons models; Business and economics; Ekonomi; Humanities and Social sciences; Humaniora-samhällsvetenskap; Business cycles; business cycle dating; non-parametric smoothing; non-stationarity; recession prediction; interest rate spread; binary response models.;

    Abstract : Business cycles, the ups and downs observed somewhat simultaneously in numerous macroeconomic variables in an economy and often measured using real GDP, are important and, despite much economic research, still incom- pletely understood. Dating the business cycle has always been of interest in macroeconomic research. READ MORE
