1. Applied Adaptive Optimal Design and Novel Optimization Algorithms for Practical Use
Sammanfattning : The costs of developing new pharmaceuticals have increased dramatically during the past decades. Contributing to these increased expenses are the increasingly extensive and more complex clinical trials required to generate sufficient evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of the drugs. LÄS MER
2. Multivariate Aspects of Phylogenetic Comparative Methods
Sammanfattning : his thesis concerns multivariate phylogenetic comparative methods. We investigate two aspects of them. The first is the bias caused by measurement error in regression studies of comparative data. We calculate the formula for the bias and show how to correct for it. LÄS MER
3. Multicriteria optimization for managing tradeoffs in radiation therapy treatment planning
Sammanfattning : Treatment planning for radiation therapy inherently involves tradeoffs, such as between tumor control and normal tissue sparing, between time-efficiency and dose quality, and between nominal plan quality and robustness. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods that can facilitate decision making related to such tradeoffs. LÄS MER
4. Optimization Algorithms for System Analysis and Identification
Sammanfattning : Optimization is a powerful and frequently used tool in many fields of research. In this thesis two relevant and important problems from robust control system analysis and system identification are solved using optimization algorithms. LÄS MER
5. Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations in Optimal Design
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the approximation of optimally controlled partial differential equations for inverse problems in optimal design. Important examples of such problems are optimal material design and parameter reconstruction. In optimal material design the goal is to construct a material that meets some optimality criterion, e.g. LÄS MER
