Extensions to Gaussian copula models

Creator:: Fang, Yan
Abstract:: A copula is the representation of a multivariate distribution. Copulas are used to model multivariate data in many fields. Recent developments include copula models for spatial data and for discrete marginals. We will present a new methodological approach for modeling discrete spatial processes and for predicting the process at unobserved...

Extensions for paired comparisons models

Creator:: Kolsky, James D.
Abstract:: The Thurstone-Mosteller and Bradley-Terry Models are commonly used to rank items from paired comparisons experiments in which one item in each pair "wins," and to assess the importance of time-independent explanatory variables on such rankings. The first part of this thesis clarifies the use of probit and logistic regression models...

A study of the effectiveness of using distance education to present training programs to Extension Service Master Gardener trainees

Creator:: Rost, Robert C.
Abstract:: Despite the availability of distance education technology, Oregon State University Extension Service educators have made limited use of this equipment for delivery of educational programs to clients of the state's 36 county Extension Service offices. Some Extension educators may be hesitant to use distance technology because they are unsure whether...

The Deschutes Formation: evidence of extension-enhanced explosivity in the early High Cascades

Creator:: Pitcher, Bradley W.
Abstract:: The eruptive history of the Quaternary Cascades arc has been relatively well characterized. However, much less is known about the frequency and sizes of explosive eruptions produced by earlier stages of the arc. The Late Neogene Deschutes Formation of Central Oregon preserves a remarkable record of heightened pyroclastic activity during...

Extension and volcanism : tectonic development of the northwestern margin of the Basin and Range Province in southern Oregon

Creator:: Scarberry, Kaleb C.
Abstract:: The northwestern corner of the Basin and Range Province (NWBR) lies in southeast Oregon where extensive Late Miocene, mafic to bimodal basalt-rhyolite volcanism and extensional faults dominate a stark and arid landscape. Near Lake Abert, the Late Miocene volcanic section abuts Early Miocene, dominantly intermediate composition volcanoes at the Coleman...

Extensions of the proportional hazards loglikelihood for censored survival data

Creator:: Derryberry, DeWayne R.
Abstract:: The semi-parametric approach to the analysis of proportional hazards survival data is relatively new, having been initiated in 1972 by Sir David Cox, who restricted its use to hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for fixed effects in a regression setting. Practitioners have begun to diversify applications of this model, constructing...

Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

Creator:: Saini, Gaurav
Abstract:: This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...

Examining the Contribution of Self-Regulation and Executive Function Skills to School Readiness and Longer-Term Achievement Gaps: A Replication and Extension in Statewide and National Datasets

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation in early childhood encompasses higher-order executive function processes and lower-order emotional responses that enable children to navigate the classroom environment. Although self-regulation and executive functions are overlapping constructs, self-regulation represents a broad assessment of children’s ability to call upon executive function processes in order to meet contextual demands. Prior...

Novel Extensions and New Applications for Nonparametric Self-Exciting Point Processes

Creator:: Boyd, Peter C.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I will demonstrate a novel application of self-exciting point process models to mass shooting data. I will also introduce two adaptations to the traditional nonparametric Hawkes process modeling framework. One such modification allows for the estimation of the additional productivity introduced by an event that is not...

Extension of fuel burnup in light water reactors by using a strict in-out refueling scheme

Creator:: Yen, Julian Yu-liang
Abstract:: To utilize energy resources as efficiently as possible has become a necessity today. The purpose of this study is to see how this can be done by extending burnup in a light water reactor. Specifically, an in-out refueling scheme might extract the maximum energy from nuclear fuel during its redidence...
