Where do the Differences Lie?: An Analysis of Distance Road Running Populations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Recently, much research has been focused on the gap in performance between male and female runners. Our research is focused on examining the gap between these two running populations in depth to determine where the specific ...
Dynamics of Deprivation Cost in Last Mile Distribution The Integrated Resource Allocation and Vehicle Routing Problem
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
One of the most critical tasks after a natural disaster is to organize and execute
humanitarian relief operations effectively and efficiently while reaching an equitable
outcome. However, due to limited resources in the ...
Power Analysis to Determine the Importance of Covariance Structure Choice in Mixed Model Repeated Measures Anova
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Repeated measures experiments involve multiple subjects with measurements taken on each subject over time. We used SAS to conduct a simulation study to see how different methods of analysis perform under various simulation ...
The Determinants of Aeronautical Charges of U.S.Airports: A Spatial Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Using U.S. airport data from 2009 through 2016, this thesis examines the determinants of aeronautical charges of large and medium hub airports and accounts for the spatial dependence of neighboring airports in a spatial ...
A Comparison of Two Scaling Techniques to Reduce Uncertainty in Predictive Models
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This research examines the use of two scaling techniques to accurately transfer information from small-scale data to large-scale predictions in a handful of nonlinear functions. The two techniques are (1) using random draws ...
Robust D-Optimal Design for Multiple Nominal Parameter Values under the 5PL-1P Model
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
A robust D-optimal design that works well for multiple nominal parameter values is presented in this paper. In general, D-optimal design works very well for estimating the model parameters, but it is very sensitive to ...
Frost Depth Prediction
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The purpose of this research project is to develop a model that is able to accurately
predict frost depth on a particular date, using available information. Frost depth prediction
is useful in many applications in several ...
Forecasting Point Spread for Women’s Volleyball
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Volleyball has become a well-known and competitive sport with physical and technical performances over the years. The game results are determined by some important factors such as players, and the team’s skills to succeed ...
Proposed Nonparametric Tests for the Simple Tree Alternative in a Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Buddhism is More Than Just Meditation: A Cognitive Non-Attachment Training for Social Stress
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Buddhism is essentially a cognitive-behavioral intervention where oral teachings and meditation work together to develop nonattachment, a mind-state considered to be the antidote to all human suffering. The present work ...
