1. Contributions to the theory of unequal probability sampling
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five papers related to the theory of unequal probability sampling from a finite population. Generally, it is assumed that we wish to make modelassisted inference, i.e. the inclusion probability for each unit in the population is prescribed before the sample is selected. LÄS MER
2. Monte Carlo Simulations of the Equilibrium Properties of Semi-stiff Polymer Chains : Efficient Sampling from Compact to Extended Structures
Sammanfattning : Polymers is a class of molecules which can have many different structures due to a large number of degrees of freedom. Many biopolymers, e.g. DNA, but also synthetic macromolecules have special structural features due to their backbone stiffness. LÄS MER
3. Semi Markov chain Monte Carlo
Sammanfattning : The first paper introduces a new simulation technique, called semi Markov chain Monte Carlo, suitable for estimating the expectation of a fixed function over a distribution π, Eπf(χ). Given a Markov chain with stationary distribution p, for example a Markov chain corresponding to a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, an embedded Markov renewal process is used to divide the trajectory into different parts.

4. Hierarchical Variance Reduction Techniques for Monte Carlo Rendering
Sammanfattning : Ever since the first three-dimensional computer graphics appeared half a century ago, the goal has been to model and simulate how light interacts with materials and objects to form an image. The ultimate goal is photorealistic rendering, where the created images reach a level of accuracy that makes them indistinguishable from photographs of the real world. LÄS MER
5. On Bayesian graphical model determination
Sammanfattning : A graphical model specifies a graph representation of the independence structure of a multivariate distribution, where nodes represent variables and edges association between variables.This thesis introduces methodology for determination of graphical models for multivariate distributions within the exponential family.
