Dementia in the Czech Republic: development, projection and risk factors
Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee) ; Růžková, Jiřina (referee)
Doctoral thesis deals with dementia, which social, health and economic impacts are alarming worldwide. Expected dramatic increase in the number of people with cognitive impairment will put high demands on health and social care. Population aging and the increase of elderly persons aged 65+ evoked a need to address this issue, since age is the major risk factor for dementia. Conflicting conclusions of the European and international studies confirm the difficulty of quantifying the disease. Different definitions and measurement methods lead to different results. In the Czech Republic, in comparison with other developed European countries, there is no relevant research on the expected increase in the number of people with dementia or trends and determinants of severe cognitive impairment. Available estimates of the prevalence of dementia in the Czech Republic are based exclusively on the international prevalence studies EURODEM and Eurocode. Dissertation provides an estimate of the number of people with dementia in the Czech Republic to 2050 based on the construction of life tables for demented people. The thesis also includes analysis of risk factors of severe cognitive impairment based on socio-demographic and health variables. This knowledge is very important for the development and maintenance of effective policies and programs responsive to the needs of individuals living with cognitive impairment in the Czech Republic.

Unemployment Duration in the Czech Republic Through the Lens of Survival Analysis
Čabla, Adam ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Komárková, Lenka (referee) ; Popelka, Jan (referee)
In the presented thesis the aim is to apply methods of survival analysis to the data from the Labour Force Survey, which are interval-censored. With regard to this type of data, I use specific methods designed to handle them, especially Turnbull estimate, weighted log-rank test and the AFT model. Other objective of the work is the design and application of a methodology for creating a model of unemployment duration, depending on the available factors and its interpretation. Other aim is to evaluate evolution of the probability distribution of unemployment duration and last but not least aim is to create more accurate estimate of the tail using extreme value theory. The main benefits of the thesis can include the creation of a methodology for examining the data from the Labour Force Survey based on standard techniques of survival analysis. Since the data are internationally comparable, the methodology is applicable at the level of European Union countries and several others. Another benefit of this work is estimation of the parameters of the generalized Pareto distribution on interval-censored data and creation and comparison of the models of piecewise connected distribution functions with solution of the connection problem. Work brought empirical results, most important of which is the comparison of results from three different data approaches and specific relationship between selected factors and time to find a job or spell of unemployment.

Statistical tests power analysis
Kubrycht, Pavel ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Bílková, Diana (referee)
This Thesis deals with the power of a statistical test and the associated problem of determining the appropriate sample size. It should be large enough to meet the requirements of the probabilities of errors of both the first and second kind. The aim of this Thesis is to demonstrate theoretical methods that result in derivation of formulas for minimum sample size determination. For this Thesis, three important probability distributions have been chosen: Normal, Bernoulli, and Exponential.

Consequences of assumption violations of selected statistical methods
Marcinko, Tomáš ; Blatná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee) ; Lukáš, Ladislav (referee)
Classical parametric methods of statistical inference and hypothesis testing are derived under fundamental theoretical assumptions, which may or may not be met in real world applications. However, these methods are usually used despite the violation of their underlying assumptions, while it is argued, that these methods are quite insensitive to the violation of relevant assumptions. Moreover, alternative nonparametric or rank tests are often overlooked, mostly because these methods may be deemed to be less powerful then parametric methods. The aim of the dissertation is therefore a description of the consequences of assumption violations concerning classical one-sample and two-sample statistical methods and a consistent and comprehensive comparison of parametric, nonparametric and robust statistical techniques, which is based on extensive simulation study and focused mostly on a normality and heteroscedasticity assumption violation. The results of the simulation study confirmed that the classical parametric methods are relatively robust, with some reservations in case of outlying observations, when traditional methods may fail. On the other hand, the empirical study clearly proved that the classical parametric methods are losing their optimal properties, when the underlying assumptions are violated. For example, in many cases of non-normality the appropriate nonparametric and rank-based methods are more powerful, and therefore a statement, that these methods are unproductive due to their lack of power may be considered a crucial mistake. However, the choice of the most appropriate distribution-free method generally depends on the particular form of the underlying distribution.

Data-Snooping Biases in Backtesting
Krpálek, Jan ; Bašta, Milan (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee)
In this paper, we utilize White's Reality Check, White (2000), and Hansen's SPA test, Hansen (2004), to evaluate technical trading rules while quantifying the data-snooping bias. Secondly, we discuss the result with Probability of Backtest Overfitting framework, introduced by Bailey et al. (2015). Hence, the study presents a comprehensive test of momentum trading across the US futures markets from 2004 to 2016. The evidence indicates that technical trading rules have not been pro?table in the US futures markets after correcting for the data snooping bias.

Comparison of the basic life quality indicators of the population older than fifty years in the Czech Republic and Spain
Kadlecová, Michaela ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Bílková, Diana (referee)
The work's content is an analysis of basic indicators of quality of life and their comparison between Czech Republic and Spain. The first section is focuses on the SHARE project (health research, aging and retirement in Europe). The data in the practical section were obtained through the SHARE project. The following four variables are considered: age, education, number of children and life happiness. These variables are visualised through contingency tables, bar charts and histograms that show the answer frequency. The work's ultimate goal is to find out the result differences between the mentioned countries, as well as to explain their causes.

Distribution of elderly people's finance into investment instruments
Klhůfková, Barbora ; Malá, Ivana (advisor) ; Blatná, Dagmar (referee)
The target of my bachelor thesis is to introduce the SHARE project, which examines people older than fifty years, to the readers. SHARE project is really extensive and it operates in several countries of the world. Participating respondents answers different kinds of questions. Questions concerns general information, information about marital status, health condition, social, geographic and also economic information. For my thesis I have chosen four economic variables, for which I am going to make basic descriptive statistics and analysis. I am going to deal with current accounts, stocks, bonds and mutual funds. These are financial instruments, where people frequently save up or deposit their money. Because answering the question regarding financial situation is uncomfortable to many respondents, we have only limited number of answers, with which we are going to work. I will define all of these four variables and make basic descriptive statistics for them. Then I will make an analysis of the financial situation of respondents according to the gender for each variable separately. For the next analysis I have chosen a subjective question regarding respondent´s satisfaction with life depending on their financial situation. At the conclusion of this thesis i will try to evaluate each analysis individualy and to summarize the contribution of this thesis.

Incomes in the Czech Republic and wealth distribution in the Czech Republic and abroad
Dobšová, Kateřina ; Bílková, Diana (advisor) ; Malá, Ivana (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyze the wealth and income situation in the Czech Republic and abroad. Particularly to point out on extremely unequal distribution of income and wealth in the world. All data used in this academic piece of work had been processed by utilizing a variety of both Czech and foreign credible sources and by collecting various statistical indicators and numerous tables so the resulting graphs are clearly constructed to show their significant characteristics relevant to the topic. It was found that the highest incomes in the Czech Republic receive men aged 30-39 years with a university degree and that the richest Cech is Petr Kellner. Wealth Czech Republic represents 0.1% of total world wealth. The Biggest share of world wealth is in the United States. There are the most dollar millionaires in the world including the richest man of the planet Bill Gates. After reading this thesis a reader should gain deeper knowledge of the income situation problematic and be able to evaluate and compare incomes in the Czech Republic from different aspects and also become more aware of distribution of wealth in the world.
