Estimation of the order of an autoregressive time series : a Bayesian approach

Creator:: Robb, Loretta J.
Abstract:: Finite order autoregressive models for time series are often used for prediction and other inferences. Given the order of the model, the parameters of the models can be estimated by least squares, maximum likelihood, or the Yule-Walker method. The basic problem is estimating the order of the model. A number...

Estimation of the feedback parameters in a closed-loop system : a geophysical problem

Creator:: Cid, Luis Serrano
Abstract:: The presence of feedback in an inputoutput system associated with an oceanographic phenomenon is determined. A testing procedure to determine the presence of feedback is given. The ordinary transfer function model is determined not to be appropriate in modeling the system. The two and three stage least squares methods are...

Diagnostics for the evaluation of spatial linear models

Creator:: Thompson, Caryn M. (Caryn Marie)
Abstract:: Geostatistical linear interpolation procedures such as kriging require knowledge of the covariance structure of the spatial process under investigation. In practice, the covariance of the process is unknown, and must be estimated from the available data. As the quality of the resulting predictions, and associated mean square prediction errors, depends...

Spatiotemporal Distributions of Bacteria in the Cheddar Production Environment

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Given the many significant roles that bacteria play in modern food manufacturing, it is crucial that we have a fundamental understanding of how bacterial communities assemble and behave in the food manufacturing environment. The focus of this dissertation was to investigate both the spatial and temporal distributions of microbial communities...

“We’ll Be That Kid That You Think We Are” : The Influences of Stigma and Interactions with Important Adults on Youth Identity Development in a Rural Context

Creator:: Lile, Joy R.
Abstract:: Adolescence is a developmental stage marked by crystallization in individuals’ sense of identity (Erikson, 1994; Harter, 1999). Research on positive youth development stresses the ways in which thriving trajectories during adolescence contribute to positive lifelong outcomes (Lerner & Overton, 2008; Scales, Benson, & Roehlkepartain, 2011) A symbolic interactionism perspective (Mead,...

Unspoken realities : white, female teachers discuss race, students, andachievement in the context of teaching in a majority black elementary school

Creator:: Williams, Joy K.
Abstract:: The purpose of this ethnographic study was to explore White, female teachers’ attitudes and perspectives towards their African American students, the Black/White Achievement Gap, and their teaching practice in regards to their students’ achievement, through the use of focus group discussions. The target group for this study was White, female...

Hydrological consequences of two native shrubs in semi-arid Senegal : patterns, processes, concepts and methods

Creator:: Kizito, Fred
Abstract:: Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these water-limited ecosystems....

Spatial visualization abilities of Central Washington State College prospective elementary and secondary teachers of mathematics

Creator:: Martin, Bernard Loyal
Abstract:: This investigation was designed to determine the extent to which students who are completing planned curricula in mathematics education are proficient in spatial visualization abilities and possess mathematical understandings. The effects of mathematics curricula upon the development of these abilities and understandings and the relationships between these abilities and understandings...

The effect of human relations-sensitivity training on the self concept of low income high school students

Creator:: Saporito, Fred Joseph
Abstract:: The principle purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of human relations-sensitivity training on the self concept of low income high school students. The sample group consisted of 47 low income high school students attending the 1978 Summer Upward Bound program at Oregon State University. Participants were randomly...

Factors affecting bird counts and their influence on density estimates

Creator:: McCracken, Marti L.
Abstract:: Variable area surveys are used in large geographic regions to estimate the density of birds distributed over a region. If some birds go undetected, a measure of the effective area surveyed, the amount of area occupied by the birds detected, is needed. The effective area surveyed is determined by observational,...
