  1. 1. Branching Out with Mixtures: Phylogenetic Inference That’s Not Afraid of a Little Uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ricky Molén; [2023]
    Keywords : Phylogeny; Bayesian analysis; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Variational inference; Mixture of proposal distributions; Fylogeni; Bayesiansk analys; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Variationsinferens; Mixturer av förslagsfördelningar;

    Abstract : Phylogeny, the study of evolutionary relationships among species and other taxa, plays a crucial role in understanding the history of life. Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a widely used approach for inferring phylogenetic trees, but it suffers from slow convergence in higher dimensions and is slow to converge.

  3. 2. Stock market analysis with a Markovian approach: Properties and prediction of OMXS30

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Max Aronsson; Anna Folkesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Markov chain; OMXS30; Markov chain properties; voting ensemble model; markovkedja; OMXS30; egenskaper hos markovkedjor; ensemble-modell;

    Abstract : This paper investigates how Markov chain modelling can be applied to the Swedish stock index OMXS30. The investigation is two-fold. Firstly, a Markov chain is based on index data from recent years, where properties such as transition matrix, stationary distribution and hitting time are studied. READ MORE

  4. 3. Paying the Piper : The Consequences of Including Generic Prices in Reimbursement Decisions for Prescription Pharmaceuticals

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Nationalekonomi; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Anton Klockhoff; Wilmer Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : pharmaceutical reimbursement; genericization; endogenous pricing; treatment displacement; cost-effectiveness analysis; R D incentives;

    Abstract : Objectives: The Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) is responsible for deciding which prescription pharmaceuticals should be subsidized in Sweden. Cost-effectiveness analyses are fundamental to its decision-making, but future price reductions following patent expiry are excluded from these analyses. READ MORE

  5. 4. GPU-Based Path Optimization Algorithm in High-Resolution Cost Map with Kinodynamic Constraints : Using Non-Reversible Parallel Tempering

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Daniel Greenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces a GPU-accelerated algorithm for path planning under kinodynamic constraints, focusing on navigation of flying vehicles within a high-resolution cost map. The algorithm operates by creating dynamically feasible initial paths, and a non-reversible parallel tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme to optimize the paths while adhering to the nonholonomic kinodynamical constraints.

  6. 5. A Markovian Approach to Financial Market Forecasting

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Kevin Sun Wang; William Borin; [2023]
