The estimation of transition probabilities in a student flow model

Creator:: Chiu, Wu-yan
Abstract:: This study was concerned with the estimation of transition probabilities in a finite state Markov-type student flow model. Goals setting for this study were three in number: (1) Study of the methods which will provide conclusions that (a) the transition probabilities are stationary or nonstationary and (b) the process is...

Full Text:: started with the investigation of the probability distributions and the limiting distributions of the

An atom approach to assessing the outlier properties of probability models

Creator:: Hanlen, Richard C.
Abstract:: This thesis is concerned with the problem of developing a method to categorize probability models by their outlier properties. There have been two such categorization methods proposed in the literature. Neyman and Scott (1971) classify an entire family of distributions into the outlier properties outlier-prone completely (OPC) and outlier resistant....

Nonparametric estimation of distributions using orthogonal expansions

Creator:: Crain, Bradford Robert
Abstract:: Methods of approximation and estimation of the density and the cumulative distribution function of a distribution over a finite interval are investigated. Goodness of the methods is measured pointwise and in terms of mean integrated squared error (MISE). If the density obeys certain regulatory conditions, i. e. , continuous, positive,...

Computational Approaches for Understanding Combinatorial Gene Regulation

Creator:: Ansariola, Mitra
Abstract:: Gene regulation is a complex mechanism that controls the spatial and temporal expression of genes in a living cell. My dissertation studies focus on two problems. First, tissue-specific gene expression prediction from DNA sequence and chromatin state, and second, the accurate discovery of small over-represented regulatory circuits in gene regulatory...

Inference procedures for pairs of distributions with proportional failure rate functions

Creator:: McRae, Kenneth Bruce
Abstract:: Some nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation procedures are developed for the class of pairs of distributions which have proportional failure rate functions. Special consideration is given to the case in which the shape of the failure rate functions are assumed to be either increasing or decreasing. Estimators of the proportionality constant,...

Branching random walk and probability problems from physics and biology

Creator:: Johnson, Torrey
Abstract:: This thesis studies connections between disorder type in tree polymers and the branching random walk and presents an application to swarm site-selection. Chapter two extends results on tree polymers in the infinite volume limit to critical strong disorder. Almost sure (a.s.) convergence in the infinite volume limit is obtained for...
