Classification based on longitudinal observations
Bandas, Lukáš ; Komárek, Arnošt (advisor) ; Kulich, Michal (referee)
The concern of this thesis is to discuss classification of different objects based on longitudinal observations. In the first instance the reader is introduced to a linear mixed-effects model which is useful for longitudinal data modeling. Description of discriminant analysis methods follows. These methods ares usually used for classification based on longitudinal observations. Individual methods are introduced in the theoretic aspect. Random effects approach is generalized to continuous time. Subsequently the methods and features of the linear mixed-effects model are applied to real data. Finally features of the methods are studied with help of simulations.

The influence of spectral resolution on land cover classification in Krkonoše Mts. tundra
Palúchová, Miroslava ; Červená, Lucie (advisor) ; Kupková, Lucie (referee)
The influence of spectral resolution on land cover classification in Krkonoše Mts. tundra Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis was to specify the spectral resolution requirements for classification and to identify the most important spectral bands to discriminate classes of the predefined legend. Aerial hyperspectral data acquired by AisaDUAL sensor were used. The method applied for the selection of the important bands was discriminant analysis performed in IBM SPSS Statistics. The most discriminative bands were found in intervals 1500-1750 nm (beginning of SWIR), 1100- 1300 nm (longer wavelengths of NIR), 670-760 (red-edge) and 500-600 nm (green light). The classification of the selected bands was realized in ENVI 5.4 using the Support Vector Machine classifier, achieving overall accuracy of 80,54 %, Kappa coefficient 0,7755. The suitability of available satellite data for the classification of tundra vegetation in Krkonoše mountains based on spectral resolution was evaluated as well. Keywords: tundra, Krkonoše, classification, spectral resolution, class separability, discriminant analysis, hyperspectral data

Selected problems and methods in multivariate data analysis
Goduľová, Lenka ; Zichová, Jitka (advisor) ; Hurt, Jan (referee)
Title: Selected problems and methods in multivariate data analysis Author: Lenka Goduľová Department: Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics Supervisor: RNDr. Jitka Zichová, Dr. Abstract: The bachelor thesis deals with processing multidimensional data. The task was to apply selected methods on financial data. The thesis is composed of the theoretical section and the analysis of a particular database. The first four chapters deal with basic relations and definitions concerning random vector and variable, multidimensional data and the independence test in a contingency table. The following section is devoted to defining the particular methods selected: cluster analysis and discriminant analysis. In the practical section these methods are applied to a database of clients of a German bank. Keywords: random vector, multivariate distribution, multivariate random variable, contingency table, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis.

Detection of atrial fibrillation in short-term ECG
Ambrožová, Monika ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Ronzhina, Marina (advisor)
Atrial fibrillation is diagnosed in 1-2% of the population, in next decades, it expects a significant increase in the number of patients with this arrhythmia in connection with the aging of the population and the higher incidence of some diseases that are considered as risk factors of atrial fibrillation. The aim of this work is to describe the problem of atrial fibrillation and the methods that allow its detection in the ECG record. In the first part of work there is a theory dealing with cardiac physiology and atrial fibrillation. There is also basic descreption of the detection of atrial fibrillation. In the practical part of work, there is described software for detection of atrial fibrillation, which is provided by BTL company. Furthermore, an atrial fibrillation detector is designed. Several parameters were selected to detect the variation of RR intervals. These are the parameters of the standard deviation, coefficient of skewness and kurtosis, coefficient of variation, root mean square of the successive differences, normalized absolute deviation, normalized absolute difference, median absolute deviation and entropy. Three different classification models were used: support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and discriminant analysis classification. The SVM classification model achieves the best results. Results of success indicators (sensitivity: 67.1%; specificity: 97.0%; F-measure: 66.8%; accuracy: 92.9%).

Bankruptcy Prediction Modelling in Construction Business
Srbová, Pavla ; Kuběnka,, Michal (referee) ; Karas, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis is aimed at creating a bankruptcy model for companies of the construction industry in the Czech Republic by using discriminant analysis. In the theoretical part, the concept of bankruptcy model is defined; this part is focused on the inclusion of bankruptcy models in economics, a look into their history, a description of selected models and a brief characteristic of the construction industry. In the practical part, the reliability of selected bankruptcy models is counted and a new bankruptcy model is built.

Role of Behavioral Finance in Portfolio Investment Decisions: Evidence from India
Subash, Rahul ; Báťa, Karel (advisor) ; Jandík, Tomáš (referee)
I Role of Behavioral Finance in Portfolio Investment Decisions: Evidence from India Abstract Extreme volatility has plagued financial markets worldwide since the 2008 Global Crisis. Investor sentiment has been one of the key determinants of market movements. In this context, studying the role played by emotions like fear, greed and anticipation, in shaping up investment decisions seemed important. Behavioral Finance is an evolving field that studies how psychological factors affect decision making under uncertainty. This thesis seeks to find the influence of certain identified behavioral finance concepts (or biases), namely, Overconfidence, Representativeness, Herding, Anchoring, Cognitive Dissonance, Regret Aversion, Gamblers' Fallacy, Mental Accounting, and Hindsight Bias, on the decision making process of individual investors in the Indian Stock Market. Primary data for analysis was gathered by distributing a structured questionnaire among investors who were categorized as (i) young, and (ii) experienced. Results obtained by analyzing a sample of 92 respondents, out of which 53 admitted to having suffered a loss of at least 30% because of the crisis, revealed that the degree of exposure to the biases separated the behavioral pattern of young and experienced investors. Gamblers' Fallacy, Anchoring and...

Gender schematization in self-description
Vranka, Marek ; Bahbouh, Radvan (advisor) ; Šulová, Lenka (referee)
This thesis critically analyzes some measures of masculinity and femininity. Special attention is paid primarily to a BSRI (Bem Sex-Role Inventory), which is the most widespread but completely invalid instrument for measuring gender identity. At the same time, there is presented an alternative approach to the topic of gender identity based on an application of statistical discriminant analysis technique to generally shared stereotypical evaluations of typical men and women. In empirical part, proposed approach is successfully tested in practice by creating an index of masculinity / femininity. Results of analyzes of relations between the determined gender identity and various other components of gender belief system (cognitive gender schematization, an explicit M / F and gender attitudes) suggest the validity of this approach. Between feminity (regardless of sex) and a measure of traditional gender attitudes has been found small but significant negative correlation (rs = -0.3). Keywords: masculinity, feminity, discriminant analysis, critique of BSRI
