• A threshold cointegration analysis of Norwegian interest rates 

      Larsen, Berner (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-04)
      In this thesis we generalize the Hansen and Seo test in the R package tsDyn, which tests a linear cointegration model against a two-regime threshold cointegration model, to the case of three regimes in the alternative hypothesis. As the Lagrange Multiplier test statistic used in the Hansen and Seo test in tsDyn is different from the LM statistic described in Hansen and Seo (2002), we generalize ...
    • Trans-dimensional inference over Bayesian neural networks 

      Berezowski, Jonathan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-03)
      Trans-dimensional Bayesian inference for multi-layer perceptron architectures of varying size by reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo is developed and examined for its theoretical and practical merits and considerations. The algorithm features the No-U-Turn Sampler and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for within-dimension moves, and makes use of a delayed-rejection sampler while exploring a variety of ...
    • Unsupervised segmentation of skin lesions 

      Møllersen, Kajsa (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-11-15)
      During the last decades, the incidence rate of cutaneous malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer developing from melanocytic skin lesions, has risen to alarmingly high levels. As there is no effective treatment for advanced melanoma, recognizing the lesion at an early stage is crucial for successful treatment. A trained expert dermatologist has an accuracy of around 75 % when diagnosing melanoma, ...
