2. 11. Two Problems on Existence and Approximation Related to the Boltzmann Equation

   Author : Vladislav Panferov; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Boltzmann equation; Povzner type models; diffuse reflection; discrete-velocity models; existence for large data; weak compactness; consistency; convergence; diffuse reflection;

   Abstract : In this thesis, two different types of problems related to the Boltzmann equation of kinetic theory are studied. The first part is devoted to establishing consistency and convergence for discrete-velocity models of the Boltzmann equation. For a new such model, introduced by the author jointly with A. READ MORE

4. 12. Nonparametric Statistical Inference for Entropy-type Functionals

   Author : David Källberg; Oleg Seleznjev; Timo Koski; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; entropy estimation; Rényi entropy; divergence estimation; quadratic density functional; U-statistics; consistency; asymptotic normality; Poisson convergence; stationary m-dependent sequence; inter-point distances; entropy maximizing distribution; two-sample problem; approximate matching; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we study statistical inference for entropy, divergence, and related functionals of one or two probability distributions. Asymptotic properties of particular nonparametric estimators of such functionals are investigated. We consider estimation from both independent and dependent observations. READ MORE

5. 13. Percolation: Inference and Applications in Hydrology

   Author : Oscar Hammar; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; percolation; inference; consistency; Markov chain Monte Carlo; hydrology; consistency;

   Abstract : Percolation theory is a branch of probability theory describing connectedness in a stochastic network. The connectedness of a percolation process is governed by a few, typically one or two, parameters. READ MORE

6. 14. Restoring Consistency after Network Partitions

   Author : Mikael Asplund; Simin Nadjm-Tehrani; Paul Ezhilchelvan; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distributed systems; fault tolerance; network partitions; dependability; integrity constraints; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : The software industry is facing a great challenge. While systems get more complex and distributed across the world, users are becoming more dependent on their availability. As systems increase in size and complexity so does the risk that some part will fail. READ MORE

7. 15. Improving the transparency and predictability of environmental risk assessments of pharmaceuticals

   Author : Marlene Ågerstrand; Christina Rudén; Cynthia de Wit; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; environmental risk assessment; pharmaceuticals; transparency; predictability; accuracy; consistency; voluntary initiatives; reliability evaluation; non-standard test data.; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Abstract : The risk assessment process and the subsequent risk management measures need tobe constantly evaluated, updated and improved. This thesis contributes to that workby considering, and suggesting improvements, regarding aspects like userfriendliness,transparency, accuracy, consistency, data reporting, data selection anddata evaluation.
