  1. 11. Do athletes' individual salaries depend on the performance of their peers? Prototype heuristic in wage bargaining in the NBA

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Marian Schwinner; [2017]
    Keywords : Prototype heuristic; Wage bargaining; NBA; Behavioral Economics of Organization; Prototype wage;

    Abstract : This thesis analyzes the link between relative market value of representative subsets of athletes in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and individual wages. NBA athletes are categorized with respect to multiple performance characteristics utilizing the k-means algorithm to cluster observations and a group's market value is calculated by averaging real annual salaries.

  3. 12. Comparisons between different multi-criteria decision analysis techniques for disease susceptibility mapping

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shuzhi Dong; [2016]
    Keywords : TOPSIS; multi-criteria decision analysis; AHP; OWA; disease susceptibility mapping; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; geomatics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Geographic information system multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) procedure can combine criterion maps together and associated the criterion weights to acquire an overall value for each spatial location in the research area. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Ordered Weighted averaging (OWA) are three generic algorithms of multi-criteria decision analysis.

  4. 13. Modelling Pedestrian-Induced Vertical Vibrations of Footbridges

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Emma Zäll; [2015]
    Keywords : Footbridge; Pedestrian-induced; Vertical vibrations; Pedestrian-footbridge interaction; Structural dynamics; Crowd simulations.;

    Abstract : A pedestrian crowd walking on a footbridge causes the footbridge to vibrate. These vibrations become an issue of serviceability and can give rise to discomfort for the pedestrians, whereby they should, to as large extent as possible, be prevented. READ MORE

  5. 14. Calculation of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall under model uncertainty

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Alexandra Böttern; [2015]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the concept of calculation of Value-at-Risk and Ex- pected Shortfall when the choice of model is uncertain. The method used for solving the problem is chosen to be Bayesian Model Averaging, using this method will reduce the model risk by taking several models into ac- count. READ MORE

  6. 15. Source Term Estimation in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer : Using the adjoint of the Reynolds Averaged Scalar Transport equation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Brännvall Tobias; [2015]
    Keywords : CFD; Source; Source term; STE; RANS; k epsilon; Adjoint; Adjoint equation; Reynolds transport equation; transport equation; adjoint of transport equation; Adjoint duality;

    Abstract : This work evaluates whether the branch of Reynolds Averaging in Computational Fluid Dynamics can be used to, based on real field measurements, find the source of the measured gas in question. The method to do this is via the adjoint to the Reynolds Averaged Scalar Transport equation, explained and derived herein. READ MORE
