1. Decision Trees for Classification of Repeated Measurements
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakultetenAbstract : Classification of data from repeated measurements is useful in various disciplines, for example that of medicine. This thesis explores how classification trees (CART) can be used for classifying repeated measures data. READ MORE

2. Robustness Against Non-Normality : Evaluating LDA and QDA in Simulated Settings Using Multivariate Non-Normal Distributions
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : Evaluating classifiers in controlled settings is essential for empirical applications, as extensive knowledge on model-behaviour is needed for accurate predictions. This thesis investigates robustness against non-normality of two prominent classifiers, LDA and QDA. READ MORE

3. Predicting the size of a company winning a procurement: an evaluation study of three classification models
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : In this thesis, the performance of the classification methods Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forests (RF), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) are compared using procurement data to predict what size company will win a procurement. This is useful information for companies, since bidding on a procurement takes time and resources, which they can save if they know their chances of winning are low. READ MORE

4. Predicting the outcome of IVF treatments using forward selection regression and linear discriminant analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : As more and more In Vitro Fertilizaiton (IVF) treatments are performed each year, there is a need to better predict the outcomes of different stages of the treatment and hence get a better understanding of which hormonal and physical parameters affect the treatment outcome and in what way. In this study, the effect of interaction between baseline AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) and DFI (DNA fragmentation index) on the chance of obtaining at least one good quality embryo was investigated, but no significance was found.

5. Forecast-based AI Decisions for Winter Road Maintenance
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : In countries with freezing temperatures, proper road maintenance is an important intervention to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities and improves road passability. While de-icing using road salt can be an effective intervention, it may also lead to harmful side effects such as damage to vehicles, groundwater contamination and plant stress. READ MORE
