A Spectral Two Sample Test
(North Dakota State University, 2021)In statistics, two-sample tests are commonly desired under many topics. It's crucial to differentiate populations as a prerequisite for developing further analysis. A number of statistical tests have been developed for ... -
Survival Analysis of Treatment Effect For Brain Cancer Based on The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from the National Cancer Institute is a population based cancer registry, which geographically ... -
T-Optimal Designs for Model Discrimination in Probit Models
(North Dakota State University, 2014)When dose-response functions have a downturn, one interesting feature to study is the significance of the downturn. The interesting feature can be studied using model discrimination between two rival models (model describing ... -
Testing Parallelism for the Four-Parameter Logistic Model with D-Optimal Design
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In order to determine the potency of the test preparation relative to the standard preparation, it is often important to test parallelism between a pair of dose-response curves of reference standard and test sample. Optimal ... -
Type I Error Assessment and Power Comparison of ANOVA and Zero-Inflated Methods on Zero-Inflated Data
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Many tests for the analysis of continuous data have the underlying assumption that the data in question follows a normal distribution (ex. ANOVA, regression, etc.). Within certain research topics, it is common to end up ... -
Using Imputed Microrna Regulation Based on Weighted Ranked Expression and Putative Microrna Targets and Analysis of Variance to Select Micrornas for Predicting Prostate Cancer Recurrence
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Imputed microRNA regulation based on weighted ranked expression and putative microRNA targets (IMRE) is a method to predict microRNA regulation from genome-wide gene expression. A false discovery rate (FDR) for each microRNA ... -
A Visualization Technique for Course Evaluations and Other Likert Scale Data
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Course evaluation is one of the primary ways of collecting feedback from students at NDSU. Since almost every student in every course submits one at the end of the semester, it generates a lot of data. The data is summarized ...
