1. Fatigue Assessment and Extreme Response Prediction of Ship Structures
Abstract : In this thesis, a simplified narrow-band approximation model is proposed to estimate fatigue damage of ship structures, and an efficient method for extreme response predictions is also developed using upcrossing spectrums of ship responses. The proposed fatigue model includes two main parameters, significant stress range hs and zero upcrossing frequency fz. READ MORE

2. Statistical analysis of non-Gaussian environmental loads and responses
Abstract : The thesis deals mainly with offshore engineering related problems where the dominant source of uncertainty is related to the loading. Loads arise from environmental random processes; e.g. waves, currents and winds. READ MORE

3. Probabilistic modeling in sports, finance and weather
Abstract : In this thesis, we build mathematical and statistical models for a wide variety of real world applications. The mathematical models include applications in team sport tactics and optimal portfolio selection, while the statistical modeling concerns weather and specifically precipitation. READ MORE

4. Reconstruction of Past European Land Cover Based on Fossil Pollen Data : Gaussian Markov Random Field Models for Compositional Data
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to develop statistical models to reconstruct past land cover composition and human land use based on fossil pollen records over Europe for different time periods over the past 6000 years. Accurate maps of past land cover and human land use are needed when studying the interaction between climate and land surface, and the effects of human land use on past climate. READ MORE

5. On time-frequency analysis and pseudo-differential operators for vector-valued functions
Abstract : This thesis treats different aspects of time-frequency analysis and pseudodifferential operators, with particular emphasis on techniques involving vector-valued functions and operator-valued symbols. The vector (Banach) space is either motivated by an application as in Paper I, where it is a space of stochastic variables, or is part of a general problem as in Paper II, or arises naturally from problems for scalar-valued operators and function spaces, as in Paper V.
