      The governing equations for waves propagating in water are derived by use of conservation laws. The equations are then cast onto dimensionless form and two important parameters are obtained. Approximations by use of ...
    • Automatic Parametrisation and Block pseudo Likelihood Estimation for binary Markov random Fields 

      Toftaker, Håkon (Master thesis, 2008)
      Discrete Markov random fields play an important role in spatial statistics, and are applied in many different areas. Models which consider only pairwise interaction between sites such as the Ising model often perform well ...
    • Bandwidth Selection in Kernel Density Estimation 

      Kile, Håkon (Master thesis, 2010)
      In kernel density estimation, the most crucial step is to select a proper bandwidth (smoothing parameter). There are two conceptually different approaches to this problem: a subjective and an objective approach. In this ...
    • Bayesian Inversion of Well Log Data into Facies Units based on a Spatially Coupled Model 

      Vigsnes, Maria (Master thesis, 2006)
      Through a study of cored wells from the Statfjord Formation in the Tampen Area, we derive a spatially coupled classification model for facies units. We consider a Bayesian framework for the problem. A likelihood model is ...
    • Bayesian Seismic Lithology/Fluid Inversion Constrained by Rock Physics Depth Trends 

      Rimstad, Kjartan (Master thesis, 2008)
      In this study we consider 2D seismic lithology/fluid inversion constrained by rock physics depth trends and a prior lithology/fluid Markov random field. A stochastic relation from porosity and lithology/fluid to seismic ...
    • Bayesian Text Categorization 

      Næss, Arild Brandrud (Master thesis, 2007)
      Natural language processing is an interdisciplinary field of research which studies the problems and possibilities of automated generation and understanding of natural human languages. Text categorization is a central ...
    • Bayesianske metodar relevant for jernbanevedlikehald 

      Nilsen, Jens Morten (Master thesis, 2008)
      Jernbaneverket ønskjer å utnytte ressursane dei har til vedlikehald best mogleg. Systematisering og lagring av data om svikt og tilstand på dei utallege komponentane som utgjer det norske jernbanenettet i databasen BaneData ...
    • Bayesianske nettverk kontra Monte Carlo simulering for estimering av produksjonsregularitet 

      Børsting, Aud (Master thesis, 2009)
      Denne masteroppgaven omhandler hvordan Bayesianske nettverk og Monte Carlo simulering kan bli brukt til å estimere produksjonsregulariteten til et system. De to metodene blir også sammenlignet med hverandre. Sammenligningen ...
    • Bruk av DGT og HR-ICP-MS for studier av metallers døgn- og sesongvariasjoner i vassdrag 

      Belsaas, Kristin (Master thesis, 2010)
      To vassdrag, Søra i Trondheim kommune og Vorma i Orkdal kommune, er blitt studert med hensyn på konsentrasjoner av oppløste metaller over en periode på fem-seks måneder fra oktober 2009 til april 2010. Det ble funnet ...
    • C*-crossed products 

      Wanvik, Martin Kristen Reed (Master thesis, 2008)
      We define and study the so-called C*-crossed product construction, primarily from the point of view of C*-dynamical systems, but we will also look at how crossed products (by commutative C*-algebras) arise as C*-algebras ...
