1. The Effect of Online Advertising in a Digital World : Predicting Website Visits with Dynamic Regression
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionenSammanfattning : The goal of the thesis is to accurately predict future values of a company’s website visits and to estimate the uncertainty of those predictions. To achieve this, a dynamic regression model with an ARIMA error term is considered, using advertisement spending with lags and dummy variables for Black Friday and weekdays as predictors. LÄS MER
2. Weight of evidence transformation in credit scoring models: How does it affect the discriminatory power?
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionenSammanfattning : Weight of evidence (WOE) transformation has been used for several decades in the credit industry. However, despite its widespread use, it has, surprisingly, been an overlooked approach in published literature. In this paper, we, therefore, investigate what effect WOE transformation has on the discriminatory power of a credit-scoring model. LÄS MER
3. Comparing Variable Selection Algorithms On Logistic Regression – A Simulation
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionenSammanfattning : When we try to understand why some schools perform worse than others, if Covid-19 has struck harder on some demographics or whether income correlates with increased happiness, we may turn to regression to better understand how these variables are correlated. To capture the true relationship between variables we may use variable selection methods in order to ensure that the variables which have an actual effect have been included in the model. LÄS MER
4. Machine Learning-based Quality Prediction in the Froth Flotation Process of Mining : Master’s Degree Thesis in Microdata Analysis
Master-uppsats, Högskolan Dalarna/MikrodataanalysSammanfattning : In the iron ore mining fraternity, in order to achieve the desired quality in the froth flotation processing plant, stakeholders rely on conventional laboratory test technique which usually takes more than two hours to ascertain the two variables of interest. Such a substantial dead time makes it difficult to put the inherent stochastic nature of the plant system in steady-state. LÄS MER
5. Variable selection techniques for the Cox proportional hazardsmodel: A comparative study
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistikSammanfattning : In statistics different models are used to emulate real world processes. Variable selection refers to reduction of the number of parameters in the models in order to increase interpretability and model effectiveness. LÄS MER
