  1. 1. MODELING INPUT VARIABLE AGE IN SEPSIS PREDICTION USING TREE-BASED MODELS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Oscar Wastesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; decision trees; sepsis; classification;

    Abstract : Last observation carried forward (LOCF) is a common imputation method, regularly used for clinical data. It is based on the principle that the most recent observation that is known is carried forward to replace missing values. READ MORE

  2. 2. 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).

  3. 3. Silicon Drift Detector Simulations for Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy in Scanning Electron Microscopy

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Sebbe Blokhuizen; [2023]
    Keywords : X-ray spectroscopy; Silicon drift detector; Scanning Electron Microscopy; Detector Simulation;

    Abstract : Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) is a widely applied elemental microanalysis method. The integration of silicon drift detectors (SDDs) has notably enhanced EDS performance, enabling precise elemental identification due to its large sensitive area and low output capacitance.
