  1. 1. Zero Coupon Yield Curve Construction Methods in the European Markets

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Andreas Möller; [2022]
    Keywords : Zero coupon; Yield curve construction; Forward monotone convex spline; Cubic spline; Nelson Siegel; Nelson Siegel Svensson; Hedge; Interpolation; Parameterization; Evaluation; Principal component; Nollkupong; Yieldkurva; Forward monotone convex spline; Kubisk spline; Nelson Siegel; Nelson Siegel Svensson; Interpolering; Parameterisering; Utvärdering; Principalkomponent; Hedge;

    Abstract : In this study, four frequently used yield curve construction methods are evaulated on a set of metrics with the aim of determining which method is the most suitable for estimating yield curves from European zero rates. The included curve construction methods are Nelson-Siegel, Nelson-Siegel-Svensson, cubic spline interpolation and forward monotone convex spline interpolation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identification and network analysis of candidate microRNA biomarkers in neuroblastoma : A meta-analysis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andreas Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma constitutes roughly 8% of all childhood cancers where 95% of all neuroblastoma cases occur before the age of 10. The survival rate of infants and young children is very poor, which alone contributes to research novel biomarkers for classification methods, improved diagnosis and better anti-tumor therapies.

  4. 3. Forsake Thy Art, Forsake Thyself : A Lacanian Reading of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Engelska

    Author : Andreas Svensson; [2020]
    Keywords : Mirror Stage; Imaginary; Symbolic; Psychoanalysis; The Picture of Dorian Gray;

    Abstract : This essay argues, with the help of Lacanian psychoanalysis, that Dorian Gray, the protagonist in Oscar Wilde’s novel, fails to abide by the rules governed by the culture of society. It is argued that Lacan’s theories about the mirror stage develop Dorian’s character and his realizations of his true self as part of the culture which shapes him. READ MORE

  5. 4. 6DOF Object Recognition and Positioning for Robotics Using Next Best View Heuristics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Andreas Svensson; Alexander Ganslandt; [2018]
    Keywords : Robotics; point clouds; object identification; pose estimation; localization; point cloud merging; hint system; next best view; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The accuracy and portability of depth cameras have increased by a lot in recent years, which allows for advanced 3D scanning of the environment for robotic applications. In this thesis we have developed a system that uses a depth camera mounted on a robot arm to identify and localize arbitrary objects, and give hints on how to move the camera to get better localization results.
