  2. 1. Cost efficency of nonresponse rate reduction efforts : an evaluation approach

    Author : Sara Westling; Bengt Swensson; Risto Lehtonen; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonresponse bias; follow-ups; response distribution; resource allocation; cost efficiency; evaluation; nonresponse error; Monte Carlo simulations; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : Nonresponse, the failure to obtain complete measurement on all sample elements, is an increasing problem in sample surveys. Efforts to reduce the nonresponse rate are expensive and their effect may not be as desired. READ MORE

  4. 2. Approximation of Infinitely Divisible Random Variables with Application to the Simulation of Stochastic Processes

    Author : Magnus Wiktorsson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operations research; Statistics; aktuariematematik; Stochastic differential equation; Infinitely divisible distribution; Type G distribution; Lévy process; Stochastic integral; Mathematical Statistics; Matematik; Mathematics; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers A, B, C and D. Paper A and B treats the simulation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The research presented therein was triggered by the fact that there were not any efficient implementations of the higher order methods for simulating SDEs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Feature Informativeness, Curse-of-Dimensionality and Error Probability in Discriminant Analysis

    Author : Tatjana Pavlenko; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; Matematik; Mathematics; feature selection; Discriminant analysis; feature informativeness; growing dimension assymptotics; operations research; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; Multivariate analysis; MATHEMATICS;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on four papers on high-dimensional discriminant analysis. Throughout, the curse-of-dimensionality effect on the precision of the discrimination performance is emphasized. A growing dimension asymptotic approach is used for assessing this effect and the limiting error probability are taken as the performance criteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aggregating Case Studies of Vehicle Crashes by Means of Causation Charts : An Evaluation and Revision of the Driving Reliability and Error Analysis Method

    Author : Jesper Sandin; Per Lövsund; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Accident; Cause; Classification; Characteristics; Driver; Error; 81 Road: Accidents; 81 Road: Accidents; 841 Road: Road user behaviour; 841 Road: Road user behaviour;

    Abstract : There is a need for increased knowledge about causes to motor-vehicle crashes and their prevention. Multidisciplinary in-depth case studies can provide detailed causation data that is otherwise unattainable. Such data might allow the formulation of hypotheses of causes and causal relationships for further study. READ MORE

  7. 5. Estimating Interviewer Effects in Sample Surveys : Some Contributions

    Author : Peter Lundquist; Stig Danielsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Response variance; survey nonsampling error; interviewer effects; interpenetration; power; Statistics; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on measurement errors that could be ascribed to the interviewers. To study interviewer variability a measurement error model is formulated which makes a clear distinction between three sources of randomness: the sample selection, interviewer assignment, and interviewing.
