  • Limiting Behavior of Stochastic Processes Involving Martingale Structures

    Creator:
    Mukherjee, Arpita
    Abstract:
    A stochastic process is given by a family of random variables indexed by elements of a set. We have considered stochastic processes of three different types, each involving an associated martingale structure. Martingale is a sequence of random variables for which the conditional expectation at a certain time point given...

  • Higher-level Analysis of RNA-Seq Experiment: Multiple Data Sets and Multiple Genes

    Creator:
    Zhuo, Bin
    Abstract:
    Differential expression (DE) analysis is a key task in gene expression study, because it uncovers the association between expression levels of a gene and the covariates of interest. This dissertation pertains to two particular aspects of DE analysis—identifying stably expressed genes for count normalization and accounting for correlation between DE...

  • Fluorescence Spectrometry to Quantify Percent Wood Failure in Adhesive Bonds

    Creator:
    Rueppel, Talbot B.
    Abstract:
    Structural engineered wood manufacturers need a quantitative measurement technique to determine the ratio of wood to adhesive failure in their shear specimens. Visual estimation of percent wood failure has long stood as an extremely subjective quality control approach according to ASTM D5266 – Standard Practice for Estimating the Percentage of...

  • Modeling Task Prioritization Behaviors in a Time-Pressured Multitasking Environment

    Creator:
    Toma, Takeaki
    Abstract:
    Funk’s (1991) cockpit task management (CTM) theory is structurally consistent with cognitive multitasking models: it addresses managing multiple and concurrent tasks in three stages: situation awareness, response selection, and response execution. Based on CTM theory, Colvin, Funk and Braune (2005) hypothesized that the following six factors may affect task prioritization:...
