  1. 1. An Analysis of Markov Regime-Switching Models for Weather Derivative Pricing

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Fredrik Gerdin Börjesson; [2021]
    Keywords : Weather derivatives; temperature modeling; Markov switching models; Lévy processes; expectation-maximization algorithm; generalized hyperbolic distributions; Monte Carlo simulation;

    Abstract : The valuation of weather derivatives is greatly dependent on accurate modeling and forecasting of the underlying temperature indices. The complexity and uncertainty in such modeling has led to several temperature processes being developed for the Monte Carlo simulation of daily average temperatures. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methods of high-dimensional statistical analysis for the prediction and monitoring of engine oil quality

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Fredrik Berntsson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Engine oils fill important functions in the operation of modern internal combustion engines. Many essential functions are provided by compounds that are either sacrificial or susceptible to degradation. The engine oil will eventually fail to provide these functions with possibly unrepairable damages as a result. READ MORE

  4. 3. Constructing a Scheduling Algorithm For Multidirectional Elevators

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Joakim Edlund; Fredrik Berntsson; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With this thesis we aim to create an efficient scheduling algorithm for elevators that can move in multiple directions and establish if and when the algorithm is efficient in comparison to algorithms constructed for traditional elevator algorithms. To measure efficiency, a simulator is constructed to simulate an elevator system implementing different algorithms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Regression Analysis on NBA Players Background and Performance using Gaussian Processes : Can NBA-drafts be improved by taking socioeconomic background into consideration?

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Ludvig Persson Lejon; Fredrik Berntsson; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the modern society it is well known that an individual’s background matters in his career, but should it be taken into consideration in a recruiting process in general and a recruiting process of NBA-players in particular? Previous research shows that white basketball players from high-income families have a 75% higher chance of becoming an NBA player compared to a white basketball player from a low-income family. In this paper, we have examined whether there is a connection between NBA-player background and the chances of succeeding in the NBA given that the player has been picked in the NBA-draft. READ MORE
