Machine learning has acquired a lot of attention in the economic forecasting literature in recent years. In this thesis we forecast Swedish energy consumption and compare the forecasting performance of a machine learning technique with that of more traditional time series models. In fact, the LSTM neural network is compared with ARIMA and VAR forecasts. We conclude that in our setting, while these

Psykiska besvär är vanliga hos barn och ungdomar och gör det svårare att fungera i vardagen. Tidigare forskning visar flera samband mellan olika typer av psykiska besvär (symptomdimensioner) och funktionsområden (exempelvis skola, socialt), men det finns få studier som har undersökt flera symptomdimensioner och flera funktionsområden samtidigt. Den här uppsatsen undersökte samband mellan tre symptMental health problems are prevalent and impairing in childhood and adolescence. Earlier research shows multiple links between different mental health symptom dimensions and different areas of everyday functioning (e.g., school, friends), but there is a dearth of studies investigating multiple symptoms dimensions and multiple areas of functioning at the same time.

Att lära en högupplöst radar känna igen människor inomhus: övervakning med integritet i åtanke Ett problem med övervakning med videokameror är att det kan vara integritetskränkande. Från en bild kan man både identifiera personer och se exakt vad de gör, vilket kan vara befogat i offentliga miljöer men inte i den privata bostaden. Här kan högupplöst radar vara en lösning. Med en radar går det inteVideo cameras are the primary equipment used for indoor surveillance. There are however areas where alternatives are needed as the use of cameras is sensitive or forbidden, e.g. in homes, bathrooms or dressing rooms. A more privacy-preserving method is using a radar. The interest in radar-based surveillance indoors has increased in recent years with the development of high resolution radar sensors
