6. Communication technology and travel demand models
Sammanfattning : Transportation planners have traditionally focused onphysical travel only, and disregarded the fact that other modesof communication may influence travel demand. However, moderntelecommunications are rapidly increasing the accessibility toactivities that previously only could be reached by physicaltransportation. LÄS MER
7. Cognitive abilities - aspects of structure, process and measurement
Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of the thesis is to describe the development of the Swedish system of measuring cognitive abilities applied at enlistment of conscripts. The Enlistment Battery has been used for more than fifty years to classify 18-year old men into military positions for their compulsory service. LÄS MER
8. Latent variable models for multivariate survival and count data
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three papers on multivariate frailty models and one paper on the use of latent class models in genetic association studies. The common theme through the four papers is the use of latent variables to capture complex dependence structures in the data. LÄS MER
9. Risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease and overall mortality
Sammanfattning : Prediction or prognostication is at the core of modern evidence-based medicine. Prediction of overall mortality and cardiovascular disease can be improved by a systematic evaluation of measurements from large-scale epidemiological studies or by using nested sampling designs to discover new markers from omics technologies.

10. Dynamics in Random Boolean Networks
Sammanfattning : There are many examples of complex networks in science. It can be genetic regulation in living cells, computers on the Internet, or social and economic networks. In this context, Boolean networks provide simplistic models that are relatively easy to handle using computer simulations and mathematical methods. LÄS MER
