1. Observed score equating with covariates
Sammanfattning : In test score equating the focus is on the problem of finding the relationship between the scales of different test forms. This can be done only if data are collected in such a way that the effect of differences in ability between groups taking different test forms can be separated from the effect of differences in test form difficulty.

2. Time-domain Reconstruction Methods for Ultrasonic Array Imaging : A Statistical Approach
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with reconstruction techniques for ultrasonic array imaging based on a statistical approach. The reconstruction problem is posed as the estimation of an image consisting of scattering strengths. LÄS MER
3. Asymptotic Analysis of Hedging Errors Induced by Discrete Time Hedging
Sammanfattning : The first part of this thesis deals with approximations of stochastic integrals and discrete time hedging of derivative contracts; two closely related subjects. Paper A considers the problem of approximating the value of a Wiener process. LÄS MER
4. Aspects of analysis of small-sample right censored data using generalized Wilcoxon rank tests
Sammanfattning : The estimated bias and variance of commonly applied and jackknife variance estimators and observed significance level and power of standardised generalized Wilcoxon linear rank sum test statistics and tests, respectively, of Gehan and Prentice are compared in a Monte Carlo simulation study. The variance estimators are the permutational-, the conditional permutational- and the jackknife variance estimators of the test statistic of Gehan, and the asymptotic- and the jackknife variance estimators of the test statistic of Prentice.

5. On the convergence of discrete time hedging schemes
Sammanfattning : In the first part of this thesis discrete time hedging is considered. In paper A an adaptive hedging scheme where the hedge portfolio is re-balanced when the hedge ratios differ by some amount, here denoted eta, is investigated. An expression of the normalized expected mean squared hedging error as eta tends to zero is derived. LÄS MER
