  1. 1. Weather Factors and E. coli Concentration in Barnviken, Malmö - A Linear Mixed Model Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Elias Gullberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Linear Mixed Models; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Barnviken in Malmö has persistently encountered challenges associated with elevated concentrations of Escherichia coli (E. coli) without a discernible source of contamination. READ MORE

  2. 2. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

  3. 3. Using NeRF- and Mesh-Based Methods to Improve Visualisation of Point Clouds

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Vilma Ylvén; Oscar Montelin; [2024]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : In recent years, the field of generating synthetic images from novel view points has seen some major improvements. Most importantly with the publication of Neural Radiance Fields allowing for extremely detailed and accurate 3D novel views. READ MORE

  4. 4. A temporal Hawkes process model for shooting occurrences in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Sara Kopelman; [2024]
    Keywords : Point processes; stochastic processes; statistics; conditional intensity; crime; shootings; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. READ MORE

  5. 5. Exploring the Impact of Pseudo and Quasi Random Number Generators on Monte Carlo Integration of the Multivariate Normal Distribution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Marcus Stolz; Jonathan Christopher; [2024]
    Keywords : Monte Carlo integration; Quasi monte carlo integration; Random number generation; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the effects of pseudo and quasi-random number generators on the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo Integration in the case of the multivariate normal distribution. The study compares the performance of the Mersenne Twister (a pseudo-random number generator) with Sobol and Halton sequences (quasi-random number generators). READ MORE
