  2. 21. Essays on Estimation Methods for Factor Models and Structural Equation Models

    Author : Shaobo Jin; Fan Yang-Wallentin; Rolf Larsson; Li Cai; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shrinkage; factor rotation; penalized maximum likelihood; pseudo-maximum likelihood; multi-group analysis; ordinal data; robustness; Statistics; Statistik;

    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

  4. 22. Mass Transport in Apple Tissue: Effects of Tissue Structure and Osmotic Processing Conditions

    Author : Nikolaos Mavroudis; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; drying; porosity; shrinkage; cell vitality; apple structure; apple; osmotic processing; mass transport; mass transport mechanisms;

    Abstract : Osmotic processing can be a very useful processing step in today’s food industry enabling the production of high quality natural food ingredients out of plant tissues. The maintenance of high product quality is quite product specific with regard to quality attributes. These attributes include fresh/like appearance, taste, texture and composition. READ MORE

  6. 24. Control of Cracking due to Imposed Strains in Concrete Structures

    Author : Dan Pettersson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; Friction.; Restraint; Shrinkage; Imposed deformations; Minimum reinforcement; Crack widths; Reinforced concrete; Crack development; Crack control; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with crack control due to imposed deformations in concrete structures. The objective of crack control may either be to prevent cracking or to limit the crack widths. The aim here is to increase the knowledge in both fields for some common structures. Five papers are included and the three last concern crack development. READ MORE

  7. 25. Improved pharmacometric model building techniques

    Author : Radojka Savic; Mats Karlsson; Siv Jönsson; Matt Hutmacher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Model building; Absorption model; Transit compartment model; Nonparametric method; Extended grid method; Semiparametric; Distribution transformation; Shrinkage; Model diagnostics;

    Abstract : Pharmacometric modelling is an increasingly used method for analysing the outcome from clinical trials in drug development. The model building process is complex and involves testing, evaluating and diagnosing a range of plausible models aiming to make an adequate inference from the observed data and predictions for future studies and therapy.
