Home Information System
Knyrevich, Michail ; Matějka, Pavel (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis involves the development of the Informational system for home, especially its Energy module. Some existing informational systems of this topic are analyzed there. Further, there is a formal concept of self Energy module , which is based on gained information. The part of this concept is prediction system of energetic expenses, which uses a weather monitoring. Realization and testing with usage of web technologies (especially the Zend Framework) are placed at the end of my thesis.

Computer Identification Based on Packet's Timestamps
Krba, Martin ; Košař, Vlastimil (referee) ; Kaštil, Jan (advisor)
Basic way how to identify a device in computer network is by MAC address and IP address. Main goal of this work is to create an application capable of clear identification of devices in computer network regardless change of their MAC address or IP address. This is done by exploiting tiny deviations in hardware clock known as clock skew. They appear in every clock based on quartz oscillator. Using clock skew is beneficial, because there is no need of any changes in fingerprinted device nor their cooperation. Accessing these values is done by capturing packets with timestamps included. Application of this method is very wide, for example computer forensics, tracking the device using different access points or counting devices behind router with NAT.

ADVANCED REGRESSION MODELS
Rosecký, Martin ; Popela, Pavel (referee) ; Bednář, Josef (advisor)
This thesis summarizes latest findings about municipal solid waste (MSW) modelling. These are used to solve multivariable version of inverse prediction problem. It is not possible to solve such problem analytically, so heuristic framework using regression models and data reconciliation was developed. As a side product, models for MSW modelling using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and LM (Linear Model) were created. These were compared with heuristic model called RF (Random Forest). Both of these models were also used for per capita MSW modelling. Theoretical parts about generalized linear models, data reconciliation and nonlinear programming are also included.

Statistical Method Selection Matters: Vanilla Methods in Regression May Yield Misleading Results
Kalina, Jan
The primary aim of this work is to illustrate the importance of the choice of the appropriate methods for the statistical analysis of economic data. Typically, there exist several alternative versions of common statistical methods for every statistical modeling task\nand the most habitually used (“vanilla”) versions may yield rather misleading results in nonstandard situations. Linear regression is considered here as the most fundamental econometric model. First, the analysis of a world tourism dataset is presented, where the number of international arrivals is modeled for 140 countries of the world as a response of 14 pillars (indicators) of the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index. Heteroscedasticity is clearly recognized in the dataset. However, the Aitken estimator, which would be the standard remedy in such a situation, is revealed here to be very inappropriate. Regression quantiles represent a much more suitable solution here. The second illustration with artificial data reveals standard regression quantiles to be unsuitable for data contaminated by outlying values. Their recently proposed robust version turns out to be much more appropriate. Both\nillustrations reveal that choosing suitable methods represent an important (and often difficult) part of the analysis of economic data.

The 2022 Election in the United States: Reliability of a Linear Regression Model
Kalina, Jan ; Vidnerová, Petra ; Večeř, M.
In this paper, the 2022 United States election to the House of Representatives is analyzed by means of a linear regression model. After the election process is explained, the popular vote is modeled as a response of 8 predictors (demographic characteristics) on the state-wide level. The main focus is paid to verifying the reliability of two obtained regression models, namely the full model with all predictors and the most relevant submodel found by hypothesis testing (with 4 relevant predictors). Individual topics related to assessing reliability that are used in this study include confidence intervals for predictions, multicollinearity, and also outlier detection. While the predictions in the submodel that includes only relevant predictors are very similar to those in the full model, it turns out that the submodel has better reliability properties compared to the full model, especially in terms of narrower confidence intervals for the values of the popular vote.

Sparse Representation for Classification of Posture in Bed
Mesárošová, Michaela ; Mihálik, Ondrej
Redundant dictionaries, also known as frames, offera non–orthogonal representation of signals, which leads to sparsityin their representative coefficients. As this approach providesmany advantageous properties it has been used in various applicationssuch as denoising, robust transmissions, segmentation,quantum theory and others. This paper investigates the possibilityof using sparse representation in classification, comparing theachieved results to other commonly used classifiers. The differentmethods were evaluated in a real-world classification task inwhich the position of a lying patient has to be deduced basedon the data provided by a pressure mattress of 30×11 sensors.The investigated method outperformed most of the commonlyused classifiers with accuracy exceeding 92%, while being lessdemanding on design and implementation complexity.
