Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this article, we introduce a novel approach by presenting separate ratio and regression estimators in the context of neutrosophic stratified sampling for the very first time, incorporating auxiliary variables. We have conducted a thorough analysis to estimate these newly proposed estimators' bias and mean square error (MSE) up to the first-order approximation. Theoretically using efficiency comparison criteria, our findings demonstrate the superior performance of these estimators compared to traditional unbiased estimators. Also, numerically based on real-life and artificial data, we have shown the supremacy of the neutrosophic stratified sampling over neutrosophic simple random sampling along with the supremacy of …

Row-Column Designs: A Novel Approach For Analyzing Imprecise And Uncertain Observations, Abdulrahman Alaita, Muhammad Aslam, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Classical row-column designs cannot be applied when the underlying data set contains some imprecise, uncertain, or undetermined observations. In this paper, we discuss row-column design under a neutrosophic statistical framework. A significant contribution of our study is to propose a novel approach to analyzing row-column designs using neutrosophic data. This approach involves calculating the neutrosophic analysis of variance (NANOVA) table for the proposed design and using it to derive the FN -test in an uncertain environment. Two numerical examples have been used to assess the proposed design’s performance. Results from the study indicated that a row column design under …

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In practical life, we encounter many systems that cannot be studied directly, either due to their high cost or because some of these systems cannot be studied directly. Therefore, we resort to the simulation method, which depends on applying the study to systems similar to real ones and then projecting these results if they are suitable for the real system. The simulation process requires a good understanding of probability distributions and the methods used to transform random numbers that follow a regular distribution in the field [0,1] into random variables that follow them, so that we can achieve the greatest …

Utility In Time Description In Priority Best-Worst Discrete Choice Models: An Empirical Evaluation Using Flynn's Data, Sasanka Adikari, Norou Diawara
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
Discrete choice models (DCMs) are applied in many fields and in the statistical modelling of consumer behavior. This paper focuses on a form of choice experiment, best-worst scaling in discrete choice experiments (DCEs), and the transition probability of a choice of a consumer over time. The analysis was conducted by using simulated data (choice pairs) based on data from Flynn's (2007) 'Quality of Life Experiment'. Most of the traditional approaches assume the choice alternatives are mutually exclusive over time, which is a questionable assumption. We introduced a new copula-based model (CO-CUB) for the transition probability, which can handle the dependent …
Advanced Techniques In Time Series Forecasting: From Deterministic Models To Deep Learning, Xue Bai
Advanced Techniques In Time Series Forecasting: From Deterministic Models To Deep Learning, Xue Bai
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This dissertation discusses three instances of temporal prediction, applied to population dynamics and deep learning.
In population modeling, dynamic processes are frequently represented by systems of differential equations, allowing for the analysis of various phenomena. The first application explores modeling cloned hematopoiesis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) via a nonlinear system of differential equations. By tracking the evolution of different cell compartments, including cycling and quiescent stem cells, progenitor cells, differentiated cells, and terminally differentiated cells, the model captures the transition from normal hematopoiesis to the chronic and accelerated-acute phases of CML. Three distinct non-zero steady states are identified, representing …

Incorporating Effects-Based Approaches Into Environmental Impact Assessment To Improve Post-Development Monitoring, Carolyn J M Brown
Incorporating Effects-Based Approaches Into Environmental Impact Assessment To Improve Post-Development Monitoring, Carolyn J M Brown
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Over the last 50 years, improvements in design of industrial facilities have significantly reduced environmental impacts. But impacts still occur and monitoring programs are the main mechanism to inform when modification/implementation of mitigation is needed. Informed decisions require adequate baseline (pre-development) data to predict impacts based on the development’s design and to understand when the post-development environment has changed. An adaptive monitoring plan provides an effective way to evaluate monitoring results and allow for proactive responses to environmental change before impacts become difficult or challenging to reverse. Unfortunately, baseline data gathered during an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is often inadequate …
Evaluation Of Imputation Methods Focusing On Categorical Outcomes, Nadia Bernardo Mendoza
Evaluation Of Imputation Methods Focusing On Categorical Outcomes, Nadia Bernardo Mendoza
CGU Theses & Dissertations
In general, standard statistical analysis models typically rely on completely observed cases, excluding incomplete rows from the dataset. This approach poses particular challenges when the objective is to predict a rare outcome, especially when some of the ob servations with the rare outcome are incomplete. In such cases, the available information to support the model in predicting this event is reduces. Theoretically correct models may pre dict all instances in the majority class achieving high accuracy, but fail in predicting the rare cases, which are often the most interesting ones. Therefore, it is crucial to make the most of all …
Disentangling Cyclic Causality: An Instance-Based Framework For Causal Discovery, Chase A. Yakaboski
Disentangling Cyclic Causality: An Instance-Based Framework For Causal Discovery, Chase A. Yakaboski
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Correlation does not imply causation" is one of the fundamental principles taught in science, emphasizing that associations between variables do not necessarily indicate causality. Yet, over the past three decades, extensive research has begun to challenge this perspective by developing sophisticated methods to differentiate causal from correlative relationships. This research suggests that correlations often involve a blend of confounded and causal interactions, which, given certain assumptions, can be disentangled to uncover actionable insights and deepen our understanding of physical, biological, and societal systems.
Accurately discovering causal relationships from data amidst cyclic dynamics remains a challenging open problem in causality research. …
Dice Are Blessed Or Cursed, Warren Campbell, Cameron Miller
Dice Are Blessed Or Cursed, Warren Campbell, Cameron Miller
SEAS Faculty Publications
Dice are cursed or blessed; that is, they roll low or high, but they are never fair. They cannot be manufactured with uniform density and geometric precision. This is particularly true of 20-sided dice or D20s. Faces are smaller than 6-sided dice, and manufacturing tolerances are similar. However, some dice are fairer than others. In our studies of plastic-mold dice about 1 in 4 test fair in 3000 rolls. We have used different statistical tests, including chi-square, modified Kolmogorov Smirnov, and double binomial tests. Of these, the method that consistently performed better is the chi-square goodness of fit test. The …

Optimal Stopping And Related Topics, Jackson Scott Hebner
Honors Scholar Theses
Suppose we are observing a randomly evolving system and have the ability to freeze it at any time. If we want to maximize some function of the state of the system, how can we determine the best time to freeze the system based on observations only up until the present moment? That is, without seeing the future, how can we form a rule for stopping the system such that we optimize the expected value of the function of interest to us? This is an informal statement of the concept of optimal stopping, a topic with deep theory and numerous applications. …
