1. Essays on Estimation Methods for Factor Models and Structural Equation Models
Abstract : This thesis which consists of four papers is concerned with estimation methods in factor analysis and structural equation models. New estimation methods are proposed and investigated.In paper I an approximation of the penalized maximum likelihood (ML) is introduced to fit an exploratory factor analysis model. READ MORE

2. Predicting Xenon Oscillations in PWRs using Intrusive Reduced Order Modelling
Abstract : The increasing presence of intermittent energy sources in the Swedish electricity grid necessitates a transition of Swedish nuclear reactors from constant base load operation to load-following mode. However, such changes in power can induce xenon oscillations, a phenomenon that poses operational challenges and the risk of fuel damage. READ MORE

3. Some Aspects on Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Ordinal Variables and Generating Non-normal Data
Abstract : This thesis, which consists of five papers, is concerned with various aspects of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of ordinal variables and the generation of non-normal data. The first paper studies the performances of different estimation methods used in CFA when ordinal data are encountered. READ MORE

4. Power Reactor Noise Studies and Applications
Abstract : The present thesis deals with the neutron noise arising in power reactor systems. Generally, it can be divided into two major parts: first, neutron noise diagnostics, or more specifically, novel methods and algorithms to monitor nuclear industrial reactors; and second, contributions to neutron noise theory as applied to power reactor systems.

5. From market orientation to orientation towards international marjets (OIM) of born global firms : evaluating the impact of OIM on born global firms' performance
Abstract : Although there is a considerable amount of research on market orientation, research on this concept in the context of born global firms is still lacking a precise definition and full operationalization. This research aims to investigate how the market orientation (MO) concept could be understood for a specific type of firm: the born global firm. READ MORE
