Turbine Induced Bird and Bat Fatalities at Wind Projects : Statistical Methods for Mortality Estimation Using Road and Pad Carcass Surveys

Creator:: Maurer, Joseph D.
Abstract:: Turbines at wind projects pose a threat to birds and bats flying at altitudes within the rotor swept area. These animals die from colliding with the turbine blades. Estimating mortality, or the total number of bird or bat fatalities at a wind project, is critical to understanding environmental impacts of...

Statistics in Education: Contributions to Teaching and Data Analysis

Creator:: Totty, Njesa
Abstract:: In this dissertation we present a compilation of the research conducted during the author’s doctoral program. In the first part, we discuss a case study regarding the impact of scholar-ships on student success at Oregon State University (OSU). Specifically, we look at the grad-uation and retention rates and aim to...

A Normal Approximation to N-mixture Models with Applications in Large Abundance Estimation and Disease Surveillance

Creator:: Brintz, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: N-mixture models provide a structure for making inference about a local population size while accounting for imperfect detection. Using a binomial likelihood, they assume prior distributions on the size parameters and then integrate those parameters out of the full likelihood. For large population sizes, the established frequentist methods have exhibited...

Hybrid Statistical and Engineering Optimization Architectures in Early Multidisciplinary Designs of Resilience and Expensive Black-box Complex Systems

Creator:: Biswas, Arpan
Abstract:: Practical engineering design problems are generally multi-disciplinary with limited budget and high risk in terms of life loss, economic resources, etc. In the early phase of such problems, selection of true efficient designs is desired while minimizing overall design cost by avoiding expensive search processes. However, the task is difficult...

A Linear Mixed Model Framework for Spatio-Temporal Random Processes using the Separable and Product-Sum Covariance Structures

Creator:: Dumelle, Michael J.
Abstract:: We describe spatio-temporal random processes using linear mixed models and discuss estimation, inference, and prediction under this formulation. We show how many commonly used covariances are special cases of this more general framework and pay special attention to the separable and product-sum covariances. The linear mixed model formulation facilitates straightforward...

Survival Assessment, Inactivation Kinetics Models, and Farm-to-Table Quantitative Risk Analysis of Food Pathogens

Creator:: Deng, Kai
Abstract:: About 48 million cases of Foodborne illnesses (FBIs) are estimated to occur every year in the US. These are diseases caused by contamination of foods with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites and toxic chemicals. Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) are an important health-care and community associated problem. Since C. difficile spores have...

Automation-Aided Collaborative Strategies in Signal Detection Tasks

Creator:: Duncan-Reid, Jackson
Abstract:: Automated systems have become increasingly important to human decision making and task performance in a wide variety of complex fields and situations. Decision aids, a specific form of automation, assist human operators in making complex decisions under conditions of uncertainty, such as air traffic control or combat identification. When humans...
