  3. 22. A Causal Analysis of Cat Bond Markets

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Tim Matheis; [2023]
    Keywords : Cat bonds; Insurance-linked securities; Causal machine learning; Random forests;

    Abstract : This work is a contribution to the causal analysis of the catastrophe bond market, which has generated high excess returns over the last two decades. Since these excess returns remain partially unexplainable and the interest in catastrophe bonds is increasing, the causal study of the factors affecting their premiums is of high relevance.

  4. 23. Implementing SAE Techniques to Predict Global Spectacles Needs

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Yuxue Zhang; [2023]
    Keywords : small area estimation; area-level model; empirical best linear unbiased prediction EBLUP ; generalized linear mixed models; Conditional Autoregressive; spatial correlation; spectacle needs; assistive products; auxiliary data; hglm; relative standard error; simulation;

    Abstract : This study delves into the application of Small Area Estimation (SAE) techniques to enhance the accuracy of predicting global needs for assistive spectacles. By leveraging the power of SAE, the research undertakes a comprehensive exploration, employing arange of predictive models including Linear Regression (LR), Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (EBLUP), hglm (from R package) with Conditional Autoregressive (CAR), and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM).

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Wilhelm Öberg; Sam Shahriari; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Quantum computing has recently shown promise for improving the efficiency of some classical algorithms. However, quantum computing suffers from issues in reliability due to the fundamental problem of quantum mechanics called decoherence. READ MORE

  6. 25. Identifying effects of adrenaline and dopamine binding on the beta2-adrenergic receptor structure and function using machine learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Joar Gunnarsson; Leon Bergner; [2023]
    Keywords : beta2-adrenergic receptor; GPCR; adrenaline; dopamine; Machine learning; Molecular dynamics simulation;

    Abstract : The beta2-adrenergic receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor, involved in several physiological processes, which enables signaling through the cell membrane. To study the effect of dopamine and adrenaline binding on the receptor structure and function, we used machine learning methods applied to data from molecular dynamics simulations. READ MORE
