(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 ...
