1. 1. Families of young children with autism spectrum disorder in Sweden: The role of culture and intergenerational support

   Författare :Rano Zakirova Engstrand; Lise Roll-Pettersson; Mara Westling Allodi; Tatja Hirvikoski; Richard Hastings; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; young children with autism; system-theory perspective; culturally diverse families; parents’ explanatory models of autism; grandparents’ needs; cultural formulation; Swedish support system; specialpedagogik; Special Education;

   Sammanfattning : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have shown high variability in learning outcomes in response to evidence-based interventions, suggesting a need for individualization of intervention programmes for each child and his/her family. To explain this variability and develop effective intervention strategies research suggested focusing on identification of important contextual factors that might influence the effectiveness of a specific intervention for each child such as family cultural characteristics and characteristics of service settings and systems.

3. 2. Accelerating Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian inference in dynamical models

   Författare :Johan Dahlin; Thomas B. Schön; Fredrik Lindsten; Richard Everitt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational statistics; Monte Carlo; Markov chains; Particle filters; Machine learning; Bayesian optimisation; Approximate Bayesian Computations; Gaussian processes; Particle Metropolis-Hastings; Approximate inference; Pseudo-marginal methods;

   Sammanfattning : Making decisions and predictions from noisy observations are two important and challenging problems in many areas of society. Some examples of applications are recommendation systems for online shopping and streaming services, connecting genes with certain diseases and modelling climate change. LÄS MER

4. 3. Random Loewner Chains

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Loewner differential equation; Schramm-Loewner evolution; loop-erased random walk; Hastings-Levitov model; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contains four papers and two introductory chapters. It is mainly devoted to problems concerning random growth models related to the Loewner differential equation. LÄS MER

5. 4. Computational methods for Bayesian inference in macroeconomic models

   Författare :Ingvar Strid; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The New Macroeconometrics may succinctly be described as the application of Bayesian analysis to the class of macroeconomic models called Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. A prominent local example from this research area is the development and estimation of the RAMSES model, the main macroeconomic model in use at Sveriges Riksbank. LÄS MER

7. 5. Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods and Applications in Neuroscience

   Författare :Federica Milinanni; Pierre Nyquist; Mark Clements; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Large deviations; Subcellular pathway models; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Stora avvikelser; Subcellular pathway models; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

   Sammanfattning : An important task in brain modeling is that of estimating model parameters and quantifying their uncertainty. In this thesis we tackle this problem from a Bayesian perspective: we use experimental data to update the prior information about model parameters, in order to obtain their posterior distribution.
