The ALHAMBRA survey: evolution of galaxy clustering since z∼1
2014
We study the clustering of galaxies as function of luminosity and redshift in the range $0.35 < z < 1.25$ using data from the Advanced Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift Astronomical (ALHAMBRA) survey. The ALHAMBRA data used in this work cover $2.38 \mathrm{deg}^2$ in 7 independent fields, after applying a detailed angular selection mask, with accurate photometric redshifts, $��_z \lesssim 0.014 (1+z)$, down to $I_{\rm AB} < 24$. Given the depth of the survey, we select samples in $B$-band luminosity down to $L^{\rm th} \simeq 0.16 L^{*}$ at $z = 0.9$. We measure the real-space clustering using the projected correlation function, accounting for photometric redshifts uncert…

A photometric study of Be stars located in the seismology fields of COROT
2007
Context: In preparation for the COROT mission, an exhaustive photometric study of Be stars located in the seismology fields of the COROT mission has been performed. The very precise and long-time-spanned photometric observations gathered by the COROT satellite will give important clues of the origin of the Be phenomenon. Aims: The aim of this work is to find short-period variable Be stars located in the seismology fields of COROT and to study and characterise their pulsational properties. Methods: Light curves obtained at the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada together with data from Hipparcos and ASAS-3 of a total of 84 Be stars have been analysed in order to search for short-term variations. W…
Statistical analysis of the relation between metallic microstructures and mechanical properties
2020
This thesis aims at the development of physical relations between the intricate 3D features of metallic microstructures and the mechanical properties of the material. For understanding which are the microstructural determinants of the resultingmechanical behaviour of metals, a deep quantitative characterisation of the microstructure is needed. The main steps of quantitative characterisation of the microstructures are: identification of the phases distribution and their chemical composition, study of the microstructure morphology (geometrical arrangement of grains, grain boundaries, grain orientations, grain size and grain shape). An accurate description of the microstructure features enrich…
Agreement and disagreement between expectations and realizations
1990
The objective of the paper is to measure the intensity of the relation between expectations and realizations for strategic variables of firms, such as production, demand or prices. An anticipation error reveals a disagreement which can be associated with the rational expectations hypothesis. The agreement coefficient between classifications, given by COHEN (1968) and LIGHT (1971) and calculated from a probability matrix, is used to define a direct measure of the disagreement between classifications. Comparison of the coefficients is used to test the rational expectations hypothesis.The coefficients are applied to business survey data of INSEE for France between 1974 and 1986.
Recursive estimators 1
1991
In this paper, we present first the recursive estimation of parameters of linear regression models and we show the link between a matrix of projection and a matrix of gain. Two cases are examined : constant parameters and parameters changing over time. In the second part the recursion formulae for the two stage least squares are given.
Des capacités de choix aux probabilités de choix (un théorème de conversion)
1992
Une partie importante de la théorie des choix discrets concerne les développements du modèle de Luce 1959]. Cette place privilégiée provient sans nul doute de l’extrême élégance de PAxiome du Choix qui permet d’une part, d’introduire une sorte de rationalité imparfaite du comportement en autorisant la construction de probabilités de choix et d’autre part, de décrire un processus de choix qui semble raisonnablement réaliste : en effet, il est suggéré que l’agent faisant face à un ensemble fini d’actions, choisit dans un premier temps un sous-ensemble, puis finalement, à l ’intérieur de ce sous-ensemble, une action. Il existe de nombreuses versions de ce modèle ( Yellot [1977], Strauss [1980]…
La combinaison de prévisions multiples en présence d'objectifs multiples
1989
L'idée de combiner plusieurs prédicteurs pour générer des prévisions combinées plus fiables semble ne dater que de 1969, date de la publication de l'article de Bâtes et Granger (1969). Depuis lors on a constaté un foisonnement de publications tant théoriques qu'empiriques dans ce domaine et l'utilité pratique de la combinaison de prévisions individuelles y a été amplement démontrée.
Statystyka, programowanie i co jeszcze? : o wyzwaniach współczesnego językoznawstwa
2020
This chapter offers a refl ection on the state-of-the-art and the future of linguistics. In the light of rapid development and growing popularity of quantitative, statistical research methods, the author refl ects upon their impact on contemporary linguistics (notably corpus linguistics), notably as regards methodology and linguistic data analysis. An attempt is also made in this paper to ruminate over the skills required from linguists regarding current publication standards in top-notch journals and research quality requirements. The discussion focuses on statistics and programming skills as more and more studies make ample use of various statistical metrics and computational tools. The a…
Cultural surveys and Finnish cultural policy
2017
The following thesis revolves around the research question what is the role of cultural surveys in Finnish cultural policy? In order to try to answer this question, elements were taken into consideration involving the relationship between these types of surveys and trends followed in Finnish cultural policy. Among the elements analysed were: the model of cultural policy in Finland and its shifts, the main cultural surveys carry out in Finland, the cultural surveys at a local level using as an example the case of Helsinki, and the adoption of indicators as measurements for effectiveness in public policy. The research methods used were a combination of a revision of official documents, togeth…
