With increasing model complexity, sampling from the posterior distribution in a Bayesian context becomes challenging. The reason might be that the likelihood function is analytically unavailable or computationally costly to evaluate. In this thesis a fairly new scheme called approximate Bayesian computation is studied which, through simulations from the likelihood function, approximately simulates

En anledning till det stora intresset för värde-pappersmarknader är bland annat att det internationella inslaget har ökat kraf-tigt. MyAs the financial markets grow and their importance increases, so has public interest. The financial markets in Sweden have a turnover of several billion Swedish kronor which goes some way to explain the current interest. Other reasons for the increasing public interest are the expanding transnational trade and the rapid evolution of trade technology. Illegal insider trading (insider dealing) is
The focus of this paper is the dialectal usage and divergence of the Japanese verb kuru ‘to come’ found in Kyushu, Okinawa, Toyama, Ishikawa, northern Gifu and Shimane. In said areas kuru is used in the same way as the verb iku ‘to go’ in standard Japanese. A survey concerning this aspect of the different dialects has been carried out. The results are examined to find possible differences between
