6. Testing the unit root hypothesis in nonlinear time series and panel models
Sammanfattning : The thesis contains the four chapters: Testing parameter constancy in unit root autoregressive models against continuous change; Dickey-Fuller type of tests against nonlinear dynamic models; Inference for unit roots in a panel smooth transition autoregressive model where the time dimension is fixed; Testing unit roots in nonlinear dynamic heterogeneous panels. In Chapter 1 we derive tests for parameter constancy when the data generating process is non-stationary against the hypothesis that the parameters of the model change smoothly over time. LÄS MER
7. Stat på villovägar : Resultatstyrningens framväxt i ett historisk-institutionellt perspektiv
Sammanfattning : I avhandlingen diskuteras framväxten av den rationalistiska styrmodell - resultatstyrning - som i dag är tänkt att tillämpas i staten. Dels diskuteras denna politiska institutions historiska närvaro i staten. Den spåras tillbaka till den programbudgeteringen. LÄS MER
8. Flower Cues for Hawkmoths: Colour, Place and Odour
Sammanfattning : Flowers use different cues to attract pollinators including colour and odour. How do hawkmoths use these cues to find the flowers? This question was investigated in two species of hawkmoth, the diurnal species, Macroglossum stellatarum, and the nocturnal species, Deilephila elpenor. Both species have colour vision and D. LÄS MER
9. Four contributions to statistical inference in econometrics
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which consists of four chapters, focuses on three topics: discriminating between stationary and nonstationary time series, testing the constancy of the error covariance matrix of a vector model, and estimating density functions over bounded domains using kernel techniques. In Chapter 1, “Testing the unit root hypothesis against the logistic smooth transition autoregressive model”, and Chapter 2, “A nonlinear alternative to the unit root hypothesis”, the joint hypothesis of unit root and linearity allows one to distinguish between random walk processes, with or without drift, and stationary nonlinear processes of the smooth transition autoregressive type.

10. Studies of occlusal adjustment therapy in patients with craniomandibular disorders
Sammanfattning : In the first part of this thesis, measurement and registration procedures of occlusal interferences and their inter and intraobserver variability were evaluated. In the second part of this thesis, the short and long-term effect of occlusal adjustment therapy was prospectively assessed in a controlled clinical trial in a selected group of 50 patients with myogeneous craniomandibular disorders (CMD).
