1. Bayesian networks: exact inference and applications in forensic statistics
Sammanfattning : Exact inference on Bayesian networks has been developed through sophisticated algorithms. One of which, the variable elimination algorithm, identifies smaller components of the network, called factors, on which local operations are performed. In principle this algorithm can be used on any Bayesian network. LÄS MER
2. Exact inference in Bayesian networks and applications in forensic statistics
Sammanfattning : Bayesian networks (BNs) are commonly used when describing and analyzing relationships between interacting variables. Approximate methods for performing calculations on BNs are widely used and well developed. LÄS MER
3. Methods for improving covariate balance in observational studies
Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to the field of causal inference, where the main interest is to estimate the effect of a treatment on some outcome. At its core, causal inference is an exercise in controlling for imbalance (differences) in covariate distributions between the treated and the controls, as such imbalances otherwise can bias estimates of causal effects.

4. On two methods for identifying dynamic errors-in-variables systems
Sammanfattning : Identification of dynamic errors-in-variables systems, where both inputs and outputs are affected by errors (measurement noises), is a fundamental problem of great interest in many areas, such as process control, econometrics, astronomical data reduction, image processing, etc. This field has received increased attention within several decades.

5. Design and Analysis of Diagnosis Systems Using Structural Methods
Sammanfattning : In complex and automated technological processes the effects of a fault can quickly propagate and lead to degradation of process performance or even worse to a catastrophic failure. This means that faults have to be found as quickly as possible and decisions have to be made to stop the propagation of their effects and to minimize process performance degradation. LÄS MER
