Estimation of non-linear functionals of densities with confidence

Creator:: Sricharan, Kumar, Raich, Raviv, and Hero, Alfred O., III
Abstract:: This paper introduces a class of k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) estimators called bipartite plug-in (BPI) estimators for estimating integrals of non-linear functions of a probability density, such as Shannon entropy and R´enyi entropy. The density is assumed to be smooth, have bounded support, and be uniformly bounded from below on this...

Observability and information structure of nonlinear systems

Creator:: Hwang, Chun Sik
Abstract:: An observability problem for both deterministic and stochastic systems is studied here. Deterministic observability is a determination of whether every state of the system is connected to the observation mechanism and how it is connected, if connected. On the other hand, stochastic observability discusses the "tightness" of the connection in...

Finite sample performance of nonparametric regression estimators : the case of additive and parametric covariance models

Creator:: Yang, Ke
Abstract:: This dissertation is composed of three essays regarding the finite sample properties of estimators for nonparametric models. In the first essay we investigate the finite sample performances of four estimators for additive nonparametric regression models - the backfitting B-estimator, the marginal integration M-estimator and two versions of a two stage...

Fault probability and confidence interval estimation of random defects seen in integrated circuit processing

Creator:: Hu, David T.
Abstract:: Various methods of estimating the fault probabilities based on defect data of random defects seen in integrated circuit manufacturing are examined. Estimates of fault probabilities based on defect data are less costly than those based on critical area analysis and are potentially more reliable because they are based on actual...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Estimation of implicit prices in hedonic price models : flexible parametric versus additive nonparametric approach

Creator:: Bin, Okmyung
Abstract:: This thesis contains two essays that use state-of-the-art econometric methods to estimate the implicit prices of various housing and vehicle attributes in hedonic price analysis. The additive nonparametric regression proposed by Hastie and Tibshirani (1990) is applied to capture a series of nonlinearities relating prices to their attributes that cannot...

Model-Assisted Forest Yield Estimation with Light Detection and Ranging

Creator:: Strunk, Jacob L., Reutebuch, Stephen E., Andersen, Hans-Erik, Gould, Peter J., and McGaughey, Robert J.
Abstract:: Previous studies have demonstrated that light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-derived variables can be used to model forest yield variables, such as biomass, volume, and number of stems. However, the next step is underrepresented in the literature: estimation of forest yield with appropriate confidence intervals. It is of great importance that...

Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Sprowl, Lynza H.
Abstract:: The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

U.S. Income Distribution and Gorman Engel Curves for Food

Creator:: LaFrance, J. T., Beatty, T. K. M., Pope, R. D., and Agnew, G. K.
Abstract:: A method for nesting, estimating and testing for the rank and functional form of the income terms in an incomplete system of aggregable and integrable demand equations is derived. Information theory is applied to the problem of inferring the U.S. income distribution using annual time series data on quintile and...
