  2. 1. The Heart and Soul of the Party : Candidate Selection in Ghana and Africa

    Author : Magnus Öhman; Axel Hadenius; Jan Teorell; Lars Svåsand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political science; political parties; party organisation; candidate selection; clientelism; neopatrimonialism; parliamentary candidates; parliamentary turnover; Africa; Ghana; Statsvetenskap; Political science; Statsvetenskap; statskunskap; statskunskap;

    Abstract : The ambition of this book is to shed light on the power dynamics within African political parties through studying how different parties select their candidates for parliamentary elections. Having control over who should represent the party in elections is often considered an important factor in the distribution of power. READ MORE

  4. 2. Model Selection

    Author : Yngve Selén; Peter Stoica; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling;

    Abstract : Before using a parametric model one has to be sure that it offers a reasonable description of the system to be modeled. If a bad model structure is employed, the obtained model will also be bad, no matter how good is the parameter estimation method. There exist many possible ways of validating candidate models.

  5. 3. Regressor and Structure Selection : Uses of ANOVA in System Identification

    Author : Ingela Lind; Lennart Ljung; Torsten Söderström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System identification; Regressor selection; Analysis of variance; Nonlinear systems; Structure selection; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Identification of nonlinear dynamical models of a black box nature involves both structure decisions (i.e., which regressors to use and the selection of a regressor function), and the estimation of the parameters involved. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tracing selection and adaptation along an environmental gradient in Populus tremula

    Author : David Hall; Pär Ingvarsson; Thomas Bataillon; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Local adaptation; Selection; genetic differentiation; QST; FST; Association study; frequency spectra; recurrent hitchhiking; selective sweep; Tree; Populus; natural selection; quantitative genetics; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestrisk ekologi; Population Biology; populationsbiologi; genetik; Genetics;

    Abstract : The distribution of the expressed genotype is moved around in the population over time byevolution. Natural selection is one of the forces that act on the phenotype to change the patterns ofnucleotide variation underlying those distributions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Model Selection and Sparse Modeling

    Author : Yngve Selén; Peter Stoica; Jean-Jacques Fuchs; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; model selection; model order selection; model averaging; nested models; sparse models; Bayesian inference; MMSE estimation; MAP estimation; ML estimation; AIC; BIC; GIC; RAKE receivers; pulse compression; radar; linear models; linear regression models; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

    Abstract : Parametric signal models are used in a multitude of signal processing applications. This thesis deals with signals for which there are many candidate models, and it is not a priori known which model is the most appropriate one. READ MORE
