21. Statistical modeling in international large-scale assessments
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the area of research based on large-scale educational assessments, focusing on the application of multilevel models. The role of sampling weights, plausible values (response variable imputed multiple times) and imputation methods are demonstrated by simulations and applications to TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data.

22. On Statistical Modeling of Social Networks
Sammanfattning : A social network is formed by a collection of individuals and the contacts or relations between them. The focus is here on relations defined by sociometric choices, implying that the individuals in the network have been required to choose among the other individuals in the group according to some criteria.

23. Finite element methods for multiscale/multiphysics problems
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we focus on multiscale and multiphysics problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates for a one way coupled multiphysics problem, using the dual weighted residual method. LÄS MER
24. Computerized achievement tests : sequential and fixed length tests
Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to describe how a computerized achivement test can be constructed and used in practice. Throughout this dissertation the focus is on classifying the examinees into masters and non-masters depending on their ability. However, there has been no attempt to estimate their ability. LÄS MER
25. The Uncertain Dichotomous Choice Model - Some Results
Sammanfattning : A probabilistic framework used in studying collective decision making is the uncertain dichotomous choice model. The model is essentially characterized by two components: the organizational structure and the voting process. LÄS MER
