The economics of addiction: an experimental investigation by Hofmeyr, Andre Karl

“…This thesis challenges some of the maintained assumptions in the addiction literature; e.g., that the probability discounting and hyperbolic discounting models best characterise choice under risk and over time, respectively. …”

Estimating value at risk and expected shortfall: a kalman filter approach by Van Der Lecq, Maximilian

“…A Kalman filter is used for the first time to estimate both VaR (and ES) to provide an alternative technique to existing industry methods. Modelling the volatility of asset returns as a stochastic process, the Kalman filter uses Bayesian statistics to forecast unobservable data by identifying underlying patterns required to predict future values. …”

Temperature reconstruction and acoustic time of flight determination for boiler furnace exit temperature measurement by Raikes, Geoff

“…The furnace exit gas temperature (FEGT) is one of the fundamental parameters necessary to determine the energy balance of the boiler in a coal-fired power plant, and is thus beneficial to the production of reliable thermo-fluid models of its operation and the operation of the systems down and upstream. …”

Study of Capital and Operation Costs for Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plants by Mohamed, Habiba Mahdy

“…In contrast, site-specific elements like civil works and intake systems were handled using user inputs and simple regression models based on available cost data. A detailed cost analysis was conducted on selected SWRO plants for which reliable data was accessible, accompanied by sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of critical variables on total costs. …”

Understanding blood pressure dynamics in the South African population: a latent variables approach to the analysis and comparison of data from multiple surveys by Cois, Annibale

“…Second, structural equation modelling (and, within this general framework, multiple group modelling, normal‐censored regression, mixture analysis with skew‐normal distributions and the use of additional parameters and phantom variables) represent a viable and advantageous alternative to current methods of comparative analysis of blood pressure data. …”
