1. Studies of distributions in physics using maximum entropy and scaling methods
Sammanfattning : The maximum entropy method (MEM) is applied in the analysis of equilibrium systems. Some general properties of the MEM and how to choose constraints as well as moments are discussed. A numerically stable algorithm is developed and implemented. Distributions arising from physical processes are studied. LÄS MER
2. Maximum spacing methods and limit theorems for statistics based on spacings
Sammanfattning : The maximum spacing (MSP) method, introduced by Cheng and Amin (1983) and independently by Ranneby (1984), is a general estimation method for continuous univariate distributions. The MSP method, which is closely related to the maximum likelihood (ML) method, can be derived from an approximation based on simple spacings of the Kullback-Leibler information. LÄS MER
3. On unequal probability sampling designs
Sammanfattning : The main objective in sampling is to select a sample from a population in order to estimate some unknown population parameter, usually a total or a mean of some interesting variable. When the units in the population do not have the same probability of being included in a sample, it is called unequal probability sampling. LÄS MER
4. Efficiency Improvements in Waste-to-Energy Combustion Processes : Method Development and Evaluation
Sammanfattning : is the energy recovery method. The electrical efficiency of this technology, however, is generally low when compared with other solid fuel-fired combustion plants as a result of low steam properties. Furthermore, there is lack of efficient methods to evaluate the performance of this system. LÄS MER
5. Structural Studies of Flexible Biomolecules and a DNA-binding Protein
Sammanfattning : The knowledge of the three-dimensional structures of proteins and polypeptides is essential to understand their functions. The work shown in this thesis has two objectives. LÄS MER
