A Pilot Study of Module Interconnectedness
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Complexity plays an important role in understanding and working with a program, and has been measured in many different ways for software applications. The use of statistical analysis is one of the ways to predict the ... -
Prediction of the World Cup Soccer Winner: Using Two Statistical Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Soccer is considered the most popular sport on earth and applying statistical models to analyze small soccer data has been of a keen interest to modern researchers. Statistical modeling of soccer data also provides guidance ... -
A Proposed Nonparametric Test for Simple Tree Alternative in a BIBD Design
(North Dakota State University, 2011)A nonparametric test is proposed to test for the simple tree alternative in a Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD). The details of the test statistic when the null hypothesis is true are given. The paper also introduces ... -
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 ... -
Robust D-Optimal Design for Response Functions with a Downturn
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Researchers studying dose-response relationships must allocate limited resources to design points in order to maximize the information gained from the study. D-optimal design is a well-described design that works efficiently ... -
Robust Tests for Cointegration with Application to Statistical Arbitrage Trading Strategies
(North Dakota State University, 2010)This study proposes two new cointegration tests that employ rank-based and least absolute deviation techniques to create a robust version of the Engle-Granger cointegration test. Critical values are generated through a ... -
Rutin Extraction and Content in Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) Bran-Fortified Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The objectives of this study were to optimize extraction of rutin from buckwheat bran and buckwheat bran-fortified spaghetti and to determine the stability of rutin during spaghetti production and preparation. Aqueous ...
