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 ...
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 ...
A Nonparametric Test for the Non-Decreasing Alternative in an Incomplete Block Design
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The purpose of this paper is to present a new nonparametric test statistic for testing against ordered alternatives in a Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD). This test will then be compared with the Durbin test which ...
Examining Influential Factors and Predicting Outcomes in European Soccer Games
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Models are developed using least squares regression and logistic regression to predict outcomes of European soccer games based on four variables related to the past k games of each team playing with the following values ...
Comparative Analysis of Traditional and Modified DECODE Method in Small Sample Gene Expression Experiments
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Background: The DECODE method integrates differential co-expression and differential expression analysis methods to better understand biological functions of genes and their associations with disease. The DECODE method ...
Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes and Gene Sets Using a Modified Q-Value
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Gene expression technologies allow expression levels to be compared across treatments for thousands of genes simultaneously. Statistical methods exist for identifying differentially expressed (DE) genes and gene sets while ...
Examination of the Relationship Between Student Academic Outcomes and Usage of the Campus Recreational Facility
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between student academic outcomes, such as grade point average (GPA) and retention, and usage of the campus recreational facility. The population of interest was ...
D-optimal Design for the 5PL-1P Model in Chemical Toxicity Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The five-parameter logistic minus one-parameter model is a hybrid between the five-parameter model and the four-parameter model used for the relationship between concentration and response. The four-parameter model includes ...
