1. Identifying factors of importance for chick quality and traits that may predict chick quality
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and ManagementAbstract : In the hatcheries today, the eggs that have cracks are sorted out before incubation. When hatched the chicks are graded as saleable or unsaleable, and salable chicks are transported to the farm. First week mortality (FWM) is a common way to assess chick quality and performance at the farm and it varies among flocks. READ MORE

3. An Empirical Investigation of the Merits of a Class of Analytically Tractable Matern Covariance Structures in Spatial Data Analysis
University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/MikrodataanalysAbstract : I investigate, using the R package spaMM, the effect of misspecification of the smoothing parameter, Q, of the Matern covariance structure on the mean part of hierarchical generalised linear models (HGLMs) with spatially correlated Gaussian Matern random effects. In particular, by restricting Q to the set {0.5, 1.5, 2. READ MORE

4. MOVING TOWARDS BEST PRACTICE FOR BIRD MORTALITY MITIGATION IN WIND POWER PLANNING, SWEDEN
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : This thesis investigates the potential for moving towards a best practice for bird mortality mitigation within wind power planning in Sweden. Best practice in this sense involves stakeholder collaboration and consensus on methods for reducing the risk of bird mortality at wind farms in Sweden in line with current legislation. READ MORE

5. On Calibrating an Extension of the Chen Model
University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistikAbstract : There are many ways of modeling stochastic processes of short-term interest rates. One way is to use one-factor models which may be easy to use and easy to calibrate. Another way is to use a three-factor model in the strive for a higher degree of congruency with real world market data. Calibrating such models may however take much more effort. READ MORE
