The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the usability of self-organizing maps and some other methods of computational intelligence in analysing and modelling problems of environmental informatics and bioinformatics. The concepts of environmental informatics, bioinformatics, computational intelligence and data mining are first defined. There follows an introduction to the data processing chain of...

We study a regression problem where for some part of the data we observe both label variable (Y) and predictors (X), while other only are given. Such arises, example, when observations costly may require skilled human agent. When conditional expectation E[Y|X] is not exactly linear, one can consider best linear approximation to expectation, which be estimated consistently by least-square estima...

We detail several methods used in the production of pseudorandom numbers for scalable systems. We will focus on methods based on parameterization, meaning that we will not consider splitting methods. We describe parameterized versions of the following pseudorandom number generation: 1. linear congruential generators 2. linear matrix generators 3. shift-register generators 4. lagged-Fibonacci ge...
