  • Testing equality of two regressions

    Creator:
    Pugh, James Donald
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses the problem of deciding whether or not two disjoint random samples that are fitted by the same regression equation emanate from the same parental population. Two situations are considered. The first situation is where the two disjoint samples are individually fitted with the regression equation. The second...

  • Sheppard's correction : moment relationships and correction terms

    Creator:
    Jumani, Vishnu Balchand
    Abstract:
    This thesis is concerned with the detailed derivation of Sheppard's Correction Formula relating the true to the raw moments by the use of Euler-MacLaurin formula. Special moment relationships have been derived using different special functions, whose application is made to derive correction formula for the semi-invariants. Special investigation is carried...

  • It's in the blood : the varieties of Linus Pauling's work on hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia

    Creator:
    Gormlet, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
    Abstract:
    Linus Pauling incorporated hemoglobin and a disease of the blood, sickle cell anemia, into many of his researches between the mid-1930s and mid-1970s. In the early 1930s Pauling became interested in organic chemistry and named hemoglobin as one of the first biochemical substances that he planned to analyze. In 1935...

  • Theoretical physics takes root in America : John Archibald Wheeler as student and mentor

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    John Archibald Wheeler (09 July 1911- ) is a familiar name to physicists and historians of physics alike. Among his many contributions to the corpus of knowledge, in 1939 John Wheeler and Niels Bohr co-authored the first paper on the generalized mechanism of nuclear fission. Beyond that seminal work, Wheeler...

  • Statistics and metrics generator for web-based software installation

    Creator:
    Guruprasad, Arvind
    Abstract:
    Statistics and Metrics Generator (SMG), is a software tool that gathers, stores and reports performance and execution metrics for a web-based software installation process. The purpose of this project was to develop a software utility that provides feedback about software download and installation process efficiency. A web-based software installation is...

  • Positive graphical lasso estimation of sparse inverse covariance matrices

    Creator:
    Logan, Paul
    Abstract:
    We explore the possibility of estimating sparse inverse covariance matrices when for scientific reasons the covariance matrix is restricted to be a non-negative matrix. The process mirrors the graphical lasso process developed by Friedman and others(2008) that did not have this additional constraint.Accordingly, the Lasso procedure is done through coordinate...

  • On Some Methods for Smoothing Distribution Functions

    Creator:
    Asante, Emmanuel
    Abstract:
    Methods that are applied to smooth distribution functions are useful in many applications. Areas of application include economics, financial markets and survival analysis. The empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf) is unbiased and its asymptotic distribution is normal. However, the jump discontinuities of $\frac{1}{n}$ are undesirable in estimation because it makes...

  • Sampling inspection plans for attributes derived for the lumber industry

    Creator:
    Markham, Terrence Floyd
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to derive a set of sampling plans to be used by the Western Wood Products Association for the reinspection of shipped lumber. Reinspection of a shipment of lumber occurs when a claim of grade is made by the buyer. Each sampling plan is derived...

  • On Declustering the Global Earthquake Catalog

    Creator:
    Shastry, Suhas
    Abstract:
    Earthquakes are complicated processes varying in time, space and magnitude. The occurrence of a major earthquake event called mainshock is preceded and followed in time by diminishing seismic activities known as foreshocks and aftershocks respectively. The process of identifying mainshocks, aftershocks, and foreshocks in a given earthquake catalog is known...

  • A computerized approach to finding the minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans

    Creator:
    Sylvester, Lancelot G.
    Abstract:
    Much has been written concerning the determination of a single sampling plan given two points on the operating characteristic (OC) curve. A computer program is presented which will provide minimum sample size for single sample attribute sampling plans. The program provides sampling plans based on the binomial distribution. It incorporates...
