  1. 1. Calibration Adjustment for Nonresponse in Sample Surveys

    Författare :Bernardo João Rota; Thomas Laitila; Sune Karlsson; Risto Lehtonen; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Auxiliary variables; Calibration; Nonresponse; principal com-ponents; regression estimator; response probability; survey sampling; two-step estimator; variance estimator; weighting; Statistics; Statistik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we discuss calibration estimation in the presence of nonresponse with a focus on the linear calibration estimator and the propensity calibration estimator, along with the use of different levels of auxiliary information, that is, sample and population levels. This is a fourpapers- based thesis, two of which discuss estimation in two steps. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Spatial sampling and prediction

    Författare :Lina Schelin; Sara Sjöstedt-de Luna; Silvelyn Zwanzig; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Auxiliary variables; Censoring; Inclusion probabilities; Kriging; Local pivotal method; Minimum detection limit; Prediction intervals; Representative sample; Spatial process; Spatial sampling; Semiparametric bootstrap; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis discusses two aspects of spatial statistics: sampling and prediction. In spatial statistics, we observe some phenomena in space. Space is typically of two or three dimensions, but can be of higher dimension. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A covariance structure analysis approach to the errors-in-variables estimation problem

    Författare :David Kreiberg; Fan Yang-Wallentin; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; System identification; errors-in-variables models; structural equation modeling; confirmatory factor analysis; minimum distance estimator; separable nonlinear least squares; Statistics; Statistik;

    Sammanfattning : It is a well-known fact that standard regression techniques, when applied to errors-in-variables (EIV) models, lead to biased and inconsistent parameter estimation. The work presented in this thesis address the EIV estimation problem using covariance structure analysis (CSA). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Rood of groen? De interne woordvolgorde in tweeledige werkwoordelijke eindgroepen met een voltooid deelwoord en een hulpwerkwoord in bijzinnen

    Författare :Mona Arfs; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; red and green word order; variation; auxiliary - past participle; bipartite verb cluster; subordinate clause; hat model; rhythmical structure of the past participle; stress balance; preferences; divergences; recurrent patterns;

    Sammanfattning : The internal word order in bipartite verb clusters including a past participle in Dutch subordi-nate clauses shows considerable variation. Dutch allows the so-called red word order (auxil-iary - past participle) as in: ‘Ik geloof niet dat hij het heeft gedaan’ as well as the so-called green word order (past participle - auxiliary) as in: ‘Ik geloof niet dat hij het gedaan heeft’.

  7. 5. Multiple Kernel Imputation : A Locally Balanced Real Donor Method

    Författare :Nicklas Pettersson; Daniel Thorburn; Susanne Rässler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian Bootstrap; Boundary Effects; External Information; Kernel estimation features; Local Balancing; Pólya Sampling; statistik; Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : We present an algorithm for imputation of incomplete datasets based on Bayesian exchangeability through Pólya sampling. Each (donee) unit with a missing value is imputed multiple times by observed (real) values on units from a donor pool. The donor pools are constructed using auxiliary variables. LÄS MER
