  1. 1. Improved pharmacometric model building techniques

    Författare :Radojka Savic; Mats Karlsson; Siv Jönsson; Matt Hutmacher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Model building; Absorption model; Transit compartment model; Nonparametric method; Extended grid method; Semiparametric; Distribution transformation; Shrinkage; Model diagnostics;

    Sammanfattning : Pharmacometric modelling is an increasingly used method for analysing the outcome from clinical trials in drug development. The model building process is complex and involves testing, evaluating and diagnosing a range of plausible models aiming to make an adequate inference from the observed data and predictions for future studies and therapy.

  3. 2. Local Polynomial Regression with Application on Lidar Measurements

    Författare :Torgny Lindström; Matematisk statistik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Matematik; differential equations; Funktioner; differentialekvationer; variance-function estimation.; spatial dependence; nonparametric; local polynomial regression; local bandwidth selection; lidar; heteroscedasticity; Bivariate estimation; differential absorption; Functions;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the problem of estimating a function or one of its derivatives from a set of measurements, mainly of a bivariate or spatial nature which is so common in environmental applications. In this work particular attention has been on the lidar (light detection and ranging) application which is a versatile technique for measurement of among other things atmospheric trace gases.

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to propose, evaluate and apply test procedures for rationality, weak separability and efficiency. In particular, it focuses on nonparametric revealed preference procedures. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development and Application of Uncertainty Analysis Approaches for MELCOR Simulations of Severe Accidents

    Författare :Wanhong Wang; Weimin Ma; Florian Fichot; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Severe accident; MELCOR; uncertainty analysis; Wilks’ method; Bootstrapped artificial neural network; deterministic sampling method; 95 95 tolerance limit.; Svåra haverier; MELCOR; osäkerhetsanalys; Wilks’ metod; artificiella neuronnät; deterministiska urvalsmetoder; 95 95-toleransgränser.;

    Sammanfattning : The contemporary needs in advancing safety analysis methods and the increasing stringency in light water reactor (LWR) safety in the post-Fukushima era require more advanced and systematical approaches for severe accident analyses. The best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) methods are among such approaches and have been widely used for deterministic safety analysis (DSA) of design basis accidents (DBAs). LÄS MER
