(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Estimators of the mean individual calling rate and density of a wildlife population in a fixed area are derived on the basis of auditory information obtained by one or more listeners within the fixed area. An estimator of ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation answers several questions on sampling and estimation in information processing systems that are in series with k-steps. Two sampling schemes, sampling each step and sampling only output, are investigated. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Frequently algorithm users can select their solution strategy by choosing from among various options for each of several algorithm factors. If the algorithm will always eventually find a solution, the important question ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Parzen (1979) suggests a location and scale model for the quantile function (inverse distribution function) of a random variable. We extend this model to the two sample and k-sample problems and some results are given ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)In this dissertation consideration is given to the optimization of a function of n variables subject to constraints which restrict the allowable solution space. In particular, the functions composing the problem must be ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1968)The objective of this study was to determine in detail the reliability of the inverse-cubic polynomial as an approximation function for probability distributions of monthly and annual precipitation. In addition, 20 other ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Given the importance placed on probability and statistics in the PK-8 curriculum by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2000) and on teachers by the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)In the linear regression model for regressing the mean yield of a crop (wheat) on predictor variables which are based on meteorological records from official weather stations and a technology time trend, the classical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Capability indices measure the proportion of process output which lies outside two specification limits. The index, C[p], is used to quantify the potential of a process to stay within the specification limits. The indices, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)This dissertation is concerned with developing a method of analysis for data arising from a series of clinical trials which involve the testing of a new drug and a standard drug in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Data ...
-
(2021-07-08)Soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) are key climate variables governing environmental processes from local to global scales. The global burgeoning of SM and ET datasets holds a significant potential in improving ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)This dissertation provides a means of determining an approximation of the global maximum of a multivariate polynomial f(x) for a region R restricted to a hypercube in the n dimensional space. This algorithm of approximating ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)In this dissertation, the Pyke-Shorack theorem for linear rank statistics is generalized to include testing for the equality of the marginal distributions in a bivariate population. This generalization is used to develop ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The cumulant generating functions of some multi-compartment stochastic models having time-dependent transition rates are derived. Using these, the first and second moments of the stochastic distributions are found. Under ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)In this dissertation, procedures are presented for developing estimators which incorporate information from incomplete or fragmentary data to estimate unknown parameters in a multivariate distribution. Detailed treatment ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)In this dissertation we establish asymptotic optimally properties for constrained maximum-likelihood estimates when some parameter values lie on the boundary. Specifically we show that when the parameter space is restricted ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Data including actual measures and estimates of various performance and cost factors were collected from three commercial feedyards located in the Texas Panhandle. The effectiveness with which such performance and cost ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)The so called "classification problem" is concerned with a decision as to which of k alternative "populations" (t = l,...,k) a sample unit belongs. In order to reach such a decision, the elements of a vector of "characteristics," ...
