• Multi-fractal stochastic modeling of the auroral electrojet index 

      Sund, Martin Jong Yul Shon (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-12-15)
      In this thesis we have analyzed the Auroral Electrojet (AE) Index over the years 2000 to 2005, a time series consisting of over 3 000 000 data points. The aim is to describe this data as a multi-fractal stochastic process. We first introduce a class of random multiplicative measures, which provide the multi-fractality in the stochastic processes that will be defined later. We also review the ...
    • Overlevelsesanalyse med tidsavhengige forklaringsvariabler med bruk av Cox proporsjonal hasard regresjonsmodell 

      Nilsen, Irmelin Kristin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-12-15)
      I denne mastergradsoppgaven ble det brukt overlevelsesanalyse med tidsavhengige variabler til å estimere en Cox proporsjonal hasard regresjonsmodell. Variablene stammet fra forskningsprosjektet ''Kvinner og kreft'' (The Norwegian Women and Cancer post genome cohort study - NOWAC) ved universitetet i Tromsø og besto av 57 561 kvinner. Modellen ble brukes til lage en modell av hasard raten til kvinnene ...
    • Two models of population genetics 

      Skancke, Jørgen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-02)
      The production of proteins in a cell is a regulated process. This means that the cell will only produce a type of protein when that type is needed. A fundamental step where this regulation occurs is at gene transcription. It is observed that transcription is regulated differently for different genes, and the question is therefore asked: why has evolution come up with different modes of transcriptional ...
