21. Bayesian Modeling of Conditional Densities
Sammanfattning : This thesis develops models and associated Bayesian inference methods for flexible univariate and multivariate conditional density estimation. The models are flexible in the sense that they can capture widely differing shapes of the data. The estimation methods are specifically designed to achieve flexibility while still avoiding overfitting. LÄS MER
22. Seasonal Adjustment and Dynamic Linear Models
Sammanfattning : Dynamic Linear Models are a state space model framework based on the Kalman filter. We use this framework to do seasonal adjustments of empirical and artificial data. A simple model and an extended model based on Gibbs sampling are used and the results are compared with the results of a standard seasonal adjustment method. LÄS MER
23. On the Asymptotics of Increasing Dimension Models : Methods for Complete or Incomplete Data
Sammanfattning : In some multivariate contexts there is a close relation between the number of parameters (p) and the number of observations (n). In a situation where p grows with n it frequently happens that the statistic does not converge to its true parameter. LÄS MER
24. Contributions to Kernel Equating
Sammanfattning : The statistical practice of equating is needed when scores on different versions of the same standardized test are to be compared. This thesis constitutes four contributions to the observed-score equating framework kernel equating. LÄS MER
25. Some Aspects on Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Ordinal Variables and Generating Non-normal Data
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which consists of five papers, is concerned with various aspects of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of ordinal variables and the generation of non-normal data. The first paper studies the performances of different estimation methods used in CFA when ordinal data are encountered. LÄS MER
