Kontrollerade experiment (t.ex. A/B test) används av många företag med användarintensiva produkter för att förbättra mjukvara med hjälp av användardata. Några företag anammar ett experimentdrivet tillvägagångssätt för mjukvaruutveckling med kontinuerliga experiment (KE). Med KE så utvärderas alla förändringar som påverkar användare med ett experiment och det finns specialiserade roller som aktivt Controlled experiments (i.e. A/B tests) are used by many companies with user-intensive products to improve their software with user data. Some companies adopt an experiment-driven approach to software development with continuous experimentation (CE). With CE, every user-affecting software change is evaluated in an experiment and specialized roles seek out opportunities to experiment with functiona

In stochastic time-frequency analysis, the covariance function is often estimated from only one observed realization with the use of a kernel function. For processes in continuous time, this can equivalently be done in the ambiguity domain, with the advantage that the mean square error optimal ambiguity kernel can be computed. For processes in discrete time, several ambiguity domain definitions ha

Gaussian models are frequently used for road profiles. However, these models are often only valid for short sections of the road. Here we present a comprehensive approach to describe various aspects of road surface/elevation by using extensions of Gaussian models arising from random gamma distributed variances. These random variances result in the Laplace distribution and thus we refer to the so d

Abstract in UndeterminedIn this paper, a number of channel estimation algorithms for iterative receivers are compared for the case of an up-link orthogonal frequency division multiplexing interleave division multiple access (OFDM-IDMA) system. Both pilot based algorithms, used to obtain an initial estimate, as well as semi-blind decision-directed algorithms working as a component of the iterative

We study geometric reconstruction problems in one-dimensional retina vision. In such problems, the scene is modeled as a two-dimensional plane, and the camera sensor produces one-dimensional images of the scene. Our main contribution is an efficient method for computing the global optimum to the structure and motion problem with respect to the L-infinity norm of the reprojection errors. One-dimens

Popular Abstract in Swedish Senpleistocen nedisningshistoria på Nordöstgrönland: kosmogen exponeringsdatering, isutbredning och isdynamik Under den senaste istiden var periodvis stora delar av landmassorna på norra halvklotet istäckta. Idag är den Grönländska inlandsisen den enda större återstoden av detta, men likväl binder den tillsammans med isen i Antarktis och jordens mindre glaciärer väldigtThe aim of this thesis was to use cosmogenic exposure dating to investigating whether highly weathered landscapes in the Northeast Greenland fjord zone have developed during prolonged ice free conditions or have been preserved beneath cold-based ice. Previous work along the Northeast Greenland coast has presented two conflicting hypotheses for the extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last

The problem of fitting models to measured data has been studied extensively, not least in the field of computer vision. A central problem in this field is the difficulty in reliably find corresponding structures and points in different images, resulting in outlier data. This thesis presents theoretical results improving the understanding of the connection between model parameter estimation and pos

We deal with the construction of optimal channel shortening, also known as combined linear Viterbi detection, algorithms for ISI and MIMO channels. In the case of MIMO channel shortening, the tree structure to represent MIMO signals is replaced by a trellis. The optimization is performed from an information theoretical perspective and the achievable information rates of the shortened models are de

Popular Abstract in Swedish De ökande kraven på högre datahastigheter inom trådlös kommunikation ställer allt högre krav på både radiosändare och mottagare, då dessa behöver utnyttja fler frekvensband med större bandbredd vid högre frekvenser. Fokus i denna avhandling ligger på högfrekvensdelen av radiomottagaren, som består av lågbrusförstärkare, blandare, och oscillatorer vid mikrovågsfrekvenserThe increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems is increasing the requirements on the transceiver front-ends, as they are pushed to utilize more and wider bands at higher frequencies. The work in this thesis is focused on receiver front-ends composed of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Mixers, and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating at microwave frequencies. Tra

Throughout the past decade, neural network-based vision has been increasingly integrated into robots. It is well-known, however, that neural networks can be unreliable, especially when faced with inputs that differ from their training data. With the goal of making neural network-based vision more reliable for robotic applications, this thesis explores uncertainty estimation, and adaptability.A

The rapidly evolving domain of network systems poses complex challenges, especially when considering scalability and transient behaviors. This thesis aims to address these challenges by offering insights into the transient analysis and control design tailored for large-scale network systems. The thesis consists of three papers, each of which contributes to the overarching goal of this work.The fir

Background: The modern style of goalkeeping in ice hockey is thought to predispose athletes to hip and groin problems. However, little is known about the magnitude of these problems in elite goalkeepers.Purpose: To describe the incidence, prevalence, and severity of hip and groin problems in elite ice hockey goalkeepers over the course of a single season.Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology stud

The vehicle-estimation problem is approached by fusing measurements from wheel encoders, an inertial measurement unit, and (optionally) a global positioning system in a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter. In total 14 states are estimated, including key variables in active safety systems, such as longitudinal velocity, roll angle, and wheel slip for all four wheels. The method only relies on kinemat

Exposure to airborne particulate matter is associated with a number of negative health effects ranging from respiratory diseases to systemic effects and cancer. One important factor for understanding the health effects is the individual variation in the respiratory tract deposition of inhaled particles. In this study, we describe an experimental set-up for size-resolved measurements of the lung de

The present study examined the agreement between single and multiple sample plasma clearance of iohexol, a non-ionic contrast agent, in renal failure. Sixty-five patients with varying degree of renal insufficiency received 10 ml iohexol (300 mg I/ml) i.v. and plasma samples were collected four times during the following 3-24 h. Plasma-iodine concentrations were determined by X-ray fluorescence. Pr

Gaussian models are frequently used for road elevations. However, these models are often only valid for short sections of the road. Here we present a comprehensive approach to describe various aspects of road surface/elevation by using extensions of Gaussian models arising from random gamma distributed variances.

Autonomous vehicle is being developed for widespread deployment. Its reliability and safety are critically dependent on advanced wireless technologies, e.g., vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The frontend of a V2X system needs an antenna module that enables the vehicle to reliably connect to all other networks. Designing V2X antenna is challenging due to the complex in-vehicle environment
