  • Statistical methods for assessing the likelihoods of fault rupture scenarios in earthquakes

    Creator:
    Tallan, Katherine S.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake rupture scenarios are important tools for understanding the nature of plate movement and patterns in seismic activity. The creation and assessment of these rupture scenarios rely heavily on geologic reasoning and principles applied to earthquake event data. This reliance introduces a certain amount of subjectivity to the rupture scenario...

  • An Analysis of Surveys to Determine the Effectiveness of Bias in Question Wording as a Method of Skewing Reported Opinions

    Creator:
    Sharkansky, Benjamin I.
    Abstract:
    Clear and unbiased question wording is important to obtaining consistent and accurate survey results. However, if the goal is not to obtain accurate results but instead to obtain a specific result, then altering question wording may be effective. To examine this possibility, we created a survey with 9 different versions...

  • Music Generation and Evaluation Using R

    Creator:
    Lanz, Andrea L.
    Abstract:
    The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...

  • Neurostatistical Mapping: A Review and Unique Application Proposal, Exploration

    Creator:
    Haffner, Michael L.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in neurological data capturing and mapping have provided scientists with exponentially more information, allowing for more detailed analysis of neurological behaviors and their translations to cognitive, emotional, and physical function. Inspired by the diffculty in diagnosing brain damage, this project seeks to leverage statistical modeling with EEG data to...
