Ahmad, Amna (author)The Bayesian approach is a very important approach for tackling problems in statistics. It involves choosing a distribution that reflects the prior knowledge and thus takes all knowledge into account in contrast to the frequentist approach. It also assumes that the parameters (the regression coefficients) follow a distribution called the...bachelor thesis 2023

Ummels, Raphael (author)Inland waterway transport is a low CO2 emission alternative to road transport. A shift towards more inland waterway transport could also help reduce road congestion and noise pollution. Infrastructure bottlenecking, particularly at locks, is part of the reasons preventing this shift. Congestion is leading to delays. Locks can be physically...master thesis 2023
