  • Exploration of regression models for cancer noncoding mutation recurrence

    Creator:
    Xu, Tanjin
    Abstract:
    An important impact of the genome technology revolution will be the elucidation of mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis, leading to improvements in the diagnosis of cancer and the selection of cancer treatment. Integrated with current well-studied massive knowledge and findings about the role of protein-coding mutations in cancer, demystifying the functional...

  • Conditioning of unobserved period-specific abundances to improve estimation of dynamic populations

    Creator:
    Dail, David
    Abstract:
    Obtaining accurate estimates of animal abundance is made difficult by the fact that most animal species are detected imperfectly. Early attempts at building likelihood models that account for unknown detection probability impose a simplifying assumption unrealistic for many populations, however: no births, deaths, migration or emigration can occur in the...

  • Model based estimation of parameters of spatial populations from probability samples

    Creator:
    Weaver, George W.
    Abstract:
    Many ecological populations can be interpreted as response surfaces; the spatial patterns of the population vary in response to changes in the spatial patterns of environmental explanatory variables. Collection of a probability sample from the population provides unbiased estimates of the population parameters using design based estimation. When information is...

  • Modeling Density Dependence in the Presence of Measurement Error

    Creator:
    Payton, Quinn
    Abstract:
    Density dependence is an ecological concept concerning the mechanisms of change in the size of a population. The inability to census ecological populations confounds approaches to identify and quantify the level of density dependence. Statistical tests which ignore the presence of measurement error tend to result in misspeci fied type...

  • Statistical Methods for Tissue Culture Medium Optimization and A Multiplexed Fingerprinting Set for Hazelnuts

    Creator:
    Akin, Melekşen
    Abstract:
    Hazelnut is one of the most important nuts in worldwide production and the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the most economically important of the 11 recognized hazelnut species. Development of new cultivars is continuous, with emphasis on better nut quality, high yield and disease resistance. Hazelnuts are highly heterozygous,...
