  1. 1. Algorithms for the Weighted Orthogonal Procrustes Problem and other Least Squares Problems

    Författare :Thomas Viklands; Per-Åke Wedin; Lars Eldén; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Procrustes; weighted; orthogonal; algorithms; global optimization.; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we present algorithms for local and global minimization of some Procrustes type problems. Typically, these problems are about rotating and scaling a known set of data to fit another set with applications related to determination of rigid body movements, factor analysis and multidimensional scaling.

  3. 2. Adaptive finite element methods for parameter estimation problems in partial differential equations

    Författare :Tao Feng; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; parameter estimation; ¯nite element approximation; adaptive ¯nite element methods; a posteriori error estimates; least squares.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Sammanfattning : Physical and chemical phenomena are often described by a system of partial di®erential equations. These equations usually involve unknown parameters, which cannot be measured directly but which can be adjusted to make the model predictions match the observed data. LÄS MER

    Författare :Göran Sporre; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Interior method; primal-dual interior method; linear programming; quadratic programming; nonlinear programming; semidefinite programming; weighted least-squares problems; central path;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four independent papers concerningdifferent aspects of interior methods for optimization. Threeof the papers focus on theoretical aspects while the fourth oneconcerns some computational experiments. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Estimation Using Low Rank Signal Models

    Författare :Kaushik Mahata; Torsten Söderström; Mats Viberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; parameter estimation; separable least squares; statistical analysis; viscoelasticity; subspace algorithms; spectrum estimation; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

    Sammanfattning : Designing estimators based on low rank signal models is a common practice in signal processing. Some of these estimators are designed to use a single low rank snapshot vector, while others employ multiple snapshots. This dissertation deals with both these cases in different contexts. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Some Contributions to Description and Validation of the Extreme Value Distribution

    Författare :MirNabi PirouziFard; Statistiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; weighted least squares estimator.; probability plot; power of tests; extreme value distribution; variances and covariances; goodness-of-fit tests; order statistics; Approximations of means;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters.
