  1. 41. Branching Out with Mixtures: Phylogenetic Inference That’s Not Afraid of a Little Uncertainty

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ricky Molén; [2023]
    Keywords : Phylogeny; Bayesian analysis; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Variational inference; Mixture of proposal distributions; Fylogeni; Bayesiansk analys; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Variationsinferens; Mixturer av förslagsfördelningar;

    Abstract : Phylogeny, the study of evolutionary relationships among species and other taxa, plays a crucial role in understanding the history of life. Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a widely used approach for inferring phylogenetic trees, but it suffers from slow convergence in higher dimensions and is slow to converge.

  3. 42. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

  4. 43. Does the Level of Swedish Economic Policy Uncertainty Help Forecast Excess Returns on the Swedish Stock Market?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Gustav Jacobsson; Oscar Klersell; [2023]
    Keywords : Economic Policy Uncertainty EPU ; Excess stock returns; Out-of-sample forecasting; Random walk; Sweden;

    Abstract : This thesis examines whether the level of Swedish economic policy uncertainty (EPU) can predict excess returns on the Swedish stock market. We run out-of-sample forecasting using an EPU-based predictive model constructed with the official Swedish EPU index developed by Armelius et al. (2017). READ MORE

  5. 44. Collaborative Mapping with Drone Swarms Utilizing Relative Distance Measurements

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Johan Forsman; Carl Tidén; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The field of use for unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, has completely exploded in the last decade. Today they are used for surveillance missions and inspecting places that are difficult for people to access. To increase the efficiency and robustness in the execution of these types of missions, swarms of cooperating drones can be used. READ MORE

  6. 45. Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Agent Strategy Synthesis Using Higher-Order Knowledge

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

    Author : Gustav Forsell; Shamoun Gergi; [2023]
    Keywords : Higher Order Knowledge; Imperfect Information; Reinforcement Learning; Deep Q- networks; Knowledge Representation; Pursuit Evasion Games;

    Abstract : Imagine for a moment we are living in the distant future where autonomous robots are patrollingthe streets as police officers. Two such robots are chasing a robber through the city streets. Fearingthe thief might listen in to any potential transmission, both robots remain radio silent and are thuslimited to a strictly visual pursuit. READ MORE
