Performance of some tests for bivariate independence, interchangeability, and equality of distributions of ratios

Creator:: Ferguson, Nancy Lo
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to derive and compare asymptotic performances of certain tests of independence, interchangeability and equality of the distributions of_ratios Y/X for positive variates and Y with joint c.d.f. H(x,y) of particular forms. Three bivariate families, Morgenstern, Plackett, and Moran, are considered which permit marginal c.d.f.'s...

A quadratic programming algorithm for deriving efficient farm plans in a risk setting

Creator:: Bauer, Leonard
Abstract:: The main focus was on developing an algorithm and supporting computer programs for use by extension personel to counsel farm managers on problems of enterprise choice. Investigation was initiated from the complete certainty viewpoint of linear programming. Upon introducing uncertainty, ramifications of changing expected income, variance and the correlation coefficient...

An investigation of the influence of choice structure on decision making behavior

Creator:: Dervitsiotis, Kostas N.
Abstract:: The behavior of individuals in decision making under risk was investigated using choice structures of greater complexity than the types examined in previous studies. The experiment performed consisted of two phases. In Phase I a basic utility function for money was derived for each subject using lotteries with two equally...

Simplified stability assessment for low volume road cut and fill slopes

Creator:: Pratt, Randy C.
Abstract:: Many miles of roads are built in the Pacific Northwest Forests to provide access for logging and fire protection. Logging roads often cross steep mountainous terrain. Logging roads and the associated cut and fill slopes represent a discontinuity in the natural stress state in the soil mantle. These conditions result...

Evaluation and application of ice segregation parameters for frost heave prediction

Creator:: Ito, Yuzuru, 1958-
Abstract:: The success of civil engineering construction in cold regions often depends on the assessment of the potential for frost heave. Over the past two decades two models have been presented to the engineering community to identify the frost heave potential, namely: (1) the segregation potential (SP), and (2) the discrete...

An investigation of the measurement of individual risk attitudes

Creator:: Winter, John R.
Abstract:: Two direct elicitation of utility (D.E.U.) techniques were used to estimate risk attitudes of a group of agricultural producers. The two elicitation techniques used in the study were 1) an error-in-response model using a modified Ramsey method, and 2) stochastic dominance with respect to a function (SDF). The primary objective...

Risk-based design for multidisciplinary complex systems

Creator:: Farhangmehr, Farzaneh
Abstract:: The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain competitive. To achieve this goal they need to develop tools to reach the most preferred design product...
