1. Monotonic and Semiparametric Regression for the Detection of Trends in Environmental Quality Data
Sammanfattning : Natural fluctuations in the state of the environment can long conceal or distort important trends in the human impact on our ecosystems. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in statistical normalisation techniques that can clarify the anthropogenic effects by removing meteorologically driven fluctuations and other natural variation in time series of environmental quality data.

2. Principle-based non-monotonic reasoning - from humans to machines
Sammanfattning : A key challenge when developing intelligent agents is to instill behavior into computing systems that can be considered as intelligent from a common-sense perspective. Such behavior requires agents to diverge from typical decision-making algorithms that strive to maximize simple and often one-dimensional metrics. LÄS MER
3. Monotonic regression for large multivariate datasets
Sammanfattning : Monotonic regression is a non-parametric statistical method that is designed especially for applications in which the expected value of a response variable increases or decreases in one or more explanatory variables. Such applications can be found in business, physics, biology, medicine, signal processing, and other areas. LÄS MER
4. NML3 : a non-monotonic formalism with explicit defaults
Sammanfattning : The thesis is a study of a particular approach to defeasible reasoning based on the notion of an information state consisting of a set of partial interpretations constrained by an information ordering. The formalism proposed, called NML3, is a non-monotonic logic with explicit defaults and is characterized by the following features: (1) The use of the strong Kleene three-valued logic as a basis.

5. A three-valued approach to non-monotonic reasoning
Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is the formalization of a type of non-monotonic reasoning using a three-valued logic based on the strong definitions of Kleene. Non-monotonic reasoning is the rule rather than the exception when agents, human or machine, must act where information about the environment is uncertain or incomplete. LÄS MER
