  2. 11. Genetic variation in structured populations

    Author : Marina Rafajlovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genetic variation; varying population size; effective population size; mutation; recombination; migration; multiple paternity; geographic structure; tests of neutrality; gene tree; species tree;

    Abstract : It is widely acknowledged that the process of speciation in the presence of gene flow between different ecotypes is common in nature. However, the mechanisms underlying speciation are not understood. READ MORE

  4. 12. Some Extensions of Fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Model : Arbitrage and Other Applications

    Author : José Igor Morlanes; Andriy Andreev; Hans Nyquist; Henrik Hult; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process; insider information; simulation embedding method; jump times; least-squares estimator; likelihood process; Ito calculus; Malliavin calculus; stochastic calculus; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis endeavors to extend probability and statistical models using stochastic differential equations. The described models capture essential features from data that are not explained by classical diffusion models driven by Brownian motion.New results obtained by the author are presented in five articles.

  5. 13. Topics in Mean-Field Control and Games for Pure Jump Processes

    Author : Salah Eddine Choutri; Boualem Djehiche; Marco Fuhrman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis is the collection of four papers addressing topics in stochastic optimal control, zero-sum games, backward stochastic differential equations, Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle and relaxed stochastic optimal control.In the first two papers, we establish existence of Markov chains of mean-field type, with countable state space and unbounded jump intensities.

  6. 14. Four applications of stochastic processes : Contagious disease, credit risk, gambling and bond portfolios

    Author : Patrik Andersson; Andreas Nordvall Lagerås; Håkan Andersson; Stewart N. Ethier; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic processes; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers on applications of stochastic processes. In Paper I we study an open population SIS (Susceptible - Infective - Susceptible) stochastic epidemic model from the time of introduction of the disease, through a possible outbreak and to extinction. The analysis uses coupling arguments and diffusion approximations. READ MORE

  7. 15. Spatial Statistics and Ancestral Recombination Graphs with Applications in Gene Mapping and Geostatistics

    Author : Linda Werner Hartman; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetik; Genetics; cytogenetics; cytogenetik; genetic association analysis; ancestral recombination graph Generalized linear mixed models; kriging; bilinear interpolation; Gaussian Markov random fields; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis explores models and algorithms in geostatistics and gene mapping. The first part deals with the use of computationally effective lattice models for inference of data with a continuous spatial index. READ MORE
