1. Learning local predictive accuracy for expert evaluation and forecast combination
Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers that study several topics related to expert evaluation and aggregation. Paper I explores the properties of Bayes factors. Bayes factors, which are used for Bayesian hypothesis testing as well as to aggregate models using Bayesian model averaging, are sometimes observed to behave erratically. READ MORE

Abstract : Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are the only two curative treatments for patients with laryngeal cancer (LC). RT has the advantage that it offers a possibility to preserve a functioning larynx and hence a functioning normal voice. The response of tumors to RT is heterogeneous, even within the same tumor stage. READ MORE

Abstract : The understanding of anomalous transport mechanisms in magnetically confined plasmas is one of the most central issues for the achievement of controlled thermonuclear fusion. Even though this problem has been given a very high priority since the very beginning of the magnetic fusion research programs, there are several outstanding issues that remain to be resolved.
