11. Essays on forecasting and Bayesian model averaging
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which consists of four chapters, focuses on forecasting in a data-rich environment and related computational issues. Chapter 1, “An embarrassment of riches: Forecasting using large panels” explores the idea of combining forecasts from various indicator models by using Bayesian model averaging (BMA) and compares the predictive performance of BMA with predictive performance of factor models.

12. Estimating particle size distributions based on machine vision
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the field of machine vision and the theory of the sampling of particulate material on conveyor belts. The objective is to address sources of error relevant to surface-analysis techniques when estimating the sieve-size distribution of particulate material using machine vision. LÄS MER
13. Optimal portfolios in the high-dimensional setting : Estimation and assessment of uncertainty
Sammanfattning : Financial portfolios and diversification go hand in hand. Diversification is one of, if not, the best risk mitigation strategy there is. If an investment performs poorly, then it will not impact the performance of the portfolio much due to diversification. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is a framework for constructing diversified portfolios. LÄS MER
14. Inference and Online Learning in Structured Stochastic Systems
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the field of stochastic online learning problems, with a collection of six papers each addressing unique aspects of online learning and inference problems under specific structures. The first four papers focus on exploration and inference problems, uncovering fundamental information-theoretic limits and efficient algorithms under various structures. LÄS MER
15. Efficient design and analysis of extended case-control studies
Sammanfattning : The nested case-control design is widely used in epidemiology for its efficiency, as it combines the advantages of both cohort and case-control designs. This design is an extension of the matched case-control design, where the matching variable is the time of occurrence of the outcome. LÄS MER
