  1. 1. Prostate cancer incidence, treatment and mortality : Empirical longitudinal register-based studies and methods for handling missing data

    Författare :Marcus Westerberg; Rolf Larsson; Hans Garmo; Pär Stattin; Jimmy Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; statistics; mathematics; prostate cancer; missing data; survival analysis; longitudinal models; incidence; treatment; mortality; Mathematical Statistics; Matematisk statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Urologi; Urology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : The diagnostic activity for prostate cancer has increased substantially in Sweden, primarily due to increased use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in asymptomatic men, and this has led to a large increase in diagnoses. There have also been changes in the diagnostic workup, guidelines, treatment strategies, and more effective treatments have been introduced in different phases of the disease. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Some properties of measures of disagreement and disorder in paired ordinal data

    Författare :Hans Högberg; Elisabeth Svensson; Sture Holm; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agreement; augmented ranks; categorical data; disorder; jackknife; paired ordinal data; rating scales; sample size; sampling distribution; simulation; U-statistics; variance; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik;

    Sammanfattning : The measures studied in this thesis were a measure of disorder, D, and a measure of the individual part of the disagreement, the measure of relative rank variance, RV, proposed by Svensson in 1993. The measure of disorder is a useful measure of order consistency in paired assessments of scales with a different number of possible values. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Extensions of the kernel method of test score equating

    Författare :Gabriel Wallin; Marie Wiberg; Jenny Häggström; Anton A. Béguin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Test equating; Nonequivalent groups; Standard error of equating; bandwidth selection; log-linear models; item response theory; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis makes contributions within the area of test score equating and specifically kernel equating. The first paper of this thesis studies the estimation of the test score distributions needed in kernel equating. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Approximation of Infinitely Divisible Random Variables with Application to the Simulation of Stochastic Processes

    Författare :Magnus Wiktorsson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operations research; Statistics; aktuariematematik; Stochastic differential equation; Infinitely divisible distribution; Type G distribution; Lévy process; Stochastic integral; Mathematical Statistics; Matematik; Mathematics; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers A, B, C and D. Paper A and B treats the simulation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The research presented therein was triggered by the fact that there were not any efficient implementations of the higher order methods for simulating SDEs. LÄS MER
