1. Structural Models of Network Contacts Between Actors Governed by Activity and Attraction
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five papers on the subject of statistical modeling of stochastic networks. The NG-model proposed in Paper I combines a block structure with parameters that capture the identities of vertices and thus the new approach stresses the concept of ego-nets, which describes the structure around identified vertices.

2. Income Generation in the African and Coloured Population: Three essays on the origins of household incomes in South Africa
Sammanfattning : The dissertation comprises three empirical analyses focusing on the origins of South African households? income sources. The income sources are categorized to reflect the households? varying extent of economic core sector integration. LÄS MER
3. Estimation of wood fibre length distributions from censored mixture data
Sammanfattning : The motivating forestry background for this thesis is the need for fast, non-destructive, and cost-efficient methods to estimate fibre length distributions in standing trees in order to evaluate the effect of silvicultural methods and breeding programs on fibre length. The usage of increment cores is a commonly used non-destructive sampling method in forestry. LÄS MER
4. On Methods for Real Time Sampling and Distributions in Sampling
Sammanfattning : This thesis is composed of six papers, all dealing with the issue of sampling from a finite population. We consider two different topics: real time sampling and distributions in sampling. The main focus is on Papers A–C, where a somewhat special sampling situation referred to as real time sampling is studied. 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.
