  2. 16. In search of information systems value : a case study of the EHR benefits realisation efforts of three Swedish hospitals

    Author : John Jeansson; Christer Carlsson; Matti Rossi; Finland Åbo Akademi University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Informatik; Information Systems;

    Abstract : The Swedish public health care organisation could very well be undergoing its most significant change since its specialisation during the late 19th and early 20th century. At the heart of this change is a move from using manual patient journals to electronic health records (EHR). READ MORE

  4. 17. Moment Estimation Using Extreme Value Methods

    Author : Joachim Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pareto distribution; mean estimation; heavy tailed distributions; telecommunication; m -dependence; superpopulation sampling; peaks over threshold; telecommunication;

    Abstract : The thesis is composed of three papers, all dealing with the application of extreme value methods to the problem of moment estimation for heavy-tailed distributions. In Paper A, an asymptotically normally distributed estimate for the expected value of a positive random variable with infinite variance is introduced. READ MORE

  5. 18. Some Contributions to Description and Validation of the Extreme Value Distribution

    Author : MirNabi PirouziFard; Statistiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; weighted least squares estimator.; probability plot; power of tests; extreme value distribution; variances and covariances; goodness-of-fit tests; order statistics; Approximations of means;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters.

  6. 19. Value assessment capabilities in early PSS development : a study in the aerospace industry

    Author : Alessandro Bertoni; Christian Kowalkowski; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development; Produktinnovation; Product Innovation;

    Abstract : Providing added value to standalone products by adding services is at the core of product service systems (PSS) offered in manufacturing industries. Providing PSS requires a change not only in the way products are sold, but also in the way they are designed and developed. READ MORE

  7. 20. What is a life worth? : methodological issues in estimating the value of a statistical life

    Author : Mikael Svensson; Lars Hultkrantz; Magnus Johannesson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Value of a statistical life; scale bias; cognitive ability; hypothetical bias; cost-benefit analysis; calibration; certainty approach; attitude theory; seat belt use; bicycle helmet use; altruism; mortality rates; acute myocardial infarction; unemployment.; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses methodological issues in estimating the value of a statistical life (VSL). Two main approaches have been used to estimate the VSL, the indirect and direct methods; the indirect method is based on revealed preferences, such as the wage premium demanded for a risky job.
