11. Searches for Particle Dark Matter : Dark stars, dark galaxies, dark halos and global supersymmetric fits
Sammanfattning : The identity of dark matter is one of the key outstanding problems in both particle and astrophysics. In this thesis, I describe a number of complementary searches for particle dark matter. LÄS MER
12. Conceptualizing and Measuring Well-Being Using Statistical Semantics and Numerical Rating Scales
Sammanfattning : How to define and measure individuals’ well-being is important, as this has an impact on both research and society at large. This thesis concerns how to define and measure the self-reported well-being of individuals, which involves both theorizing as well as developing and applying empirical and statistical methods in order to gain a better understanding of well-being.

13. Text Harmonization Strategies for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation
Sammanfattning : In this thesis I aim to improve phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) in a number of ways by the use of text harmonization strategies. PBSMT systems are built by training statistical models on large corpora of human translations. This architecture generally performs well for languages with similar structure. LÄS MER
14. Four contributions to statistical inference in econometrics
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which consists of four chapters, focuses on three topics: discriminating between stationary and nonstationary time series, testing the constancy of the error covariance matrix of a vector model, and estimating density functions over bounded domains using kernel techniques. In Chapter 1, “Testing the unit root hypothesis against the logistic smooth transition autoregressive model”, and Chapter 2, “A nonlinear alternative to the unit root hypothesis”, the joint hypothesis of unit root and linearity allows one to distinguish between random walk processes, with or without drift, and stationary nonlinear processes of the smooth transition autoregressive type.

15. Some Contributions to Statistical Disclosure Control
Sammanfattning : An important issue associated with the release of statistical data, is the possibility of disclosing individual information about respondents. Statistical disclosure control (SDC), is the discipline that deals with methods of producing statistical data that are safe enough to be released while retaining its analytical value and also methods of assessing the disclosures risks.
