1. Models for Additive and Sufficient Cause Interaction
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to develop and explore models in, and related to, the sufficient cause framework, and additive interaction. Additive interaction is closely connected with public health interventions and can be used to make inferences about the sufficient causes in order to find the mechanisms behind an outcome, for instance a disease.

2. Approximations of Bayes Classifiers for Statistical Learning of Clusters
Sammanfattning : It is rarely possible to use an optimal classifier. Often the classifier used for a specific problem is an approximation of the optimal classifier. Methods are presented for evaluating the performance of an approximation in the model class of Bayesian Networks. LÄS MER
3. Continuous time Graphical Models and Decomposition Sampling
Sammanfattning : Two topics in temporal graphical probabilistic models are studied. The topics are treated in separate papers, both with applications in finance. The first paper study inference in dynamic Bayesian networks using Monte Carlo methods. A new method for sampling random variables is proposed. LÄS MER
4. Inference in Temporal Graphical Models
Sammanfattning : This thesis develops mathematical tools used to model and forecast different economic phenomena. The primary starting point is the temporal graphical model. Four main topics, all with applications in finance, are studied. LÄS MER
5. Nonparametric Statistical Inference for Entropy-type Functionals
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we study statistical inference for entropy, divergence, and related functionals of one or two probability distributions. Asymptotic properties of particular nonparametric estimators of such functionals are investigated. We consider estimation from both independent and dependent observations. LÄS MER
