Analysis of Salary for Major League Baseball Players
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This thesis examines the salary of Major League Baseball (MLB) players and whether players are paid based on their on-the-field performance. Each salary was examined on both the yearly production and the overall career ...
Bracketing the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This paper presents a bracketing method for all the 63 games in NCAA Division I Women's basketball tournament. Least squares models and logistic regression models for Round 1, Round 2 and Rounds 3-6 were developed, to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Robust c-Optimal Design for Estimating the Edp
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Optimal design provides the most efficient design to study dose-response functions. It is often observed to adopt the four-parameter logistic model to describe the dose-response relationships in many dose finding trials. ...
