Liu, Senmao (2016-07-28)Principle component analysis (PCA) has been a widely used tool for statistics and data analysis for many years. A good result of PCA should be both interpretable and accurate. However, neither interpretability nor accuracy ...

Ren, Yuan (2010-01-14)This dissertation presents an algorithm to solve optimization problems with "black-box" objective functions, i.e., functions that can only be evaluated by running a computer program. Such optimization problems often arise ...
-
Li, Yuening (2021-10-22)Identifying anomalies with complex patterns is different from the conventional anomaly detection problem. Firstly, for cross-modal anomaly detection problems, a large portion of data instances within a multi-modal context ...
-
Chuu, Eric Jason (2022-06-23)We consider the estimation of the marginal likelihood in Bayesian statistics, a essential and important task known to be computationally expensive when the dimension of the parameter space is large. We propose a general ...
-
Park, Chiwoo (2012-10-19)The functional properties of nanoparticles highly depend on the surface morphology of the particles, so precise measurements of a particle's morphology enable reliable characterizing of the nanoparticle's properties. ...

Xia, Haifeng (2010-01-14)This dissertation presents a Bayesian hierarchical model to combine two-resolution metrology data for inspecting the geometric quality of manufactured parts. The high- resolution data points are scarce, and thus scatter ...

Goel, Amit (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The present study aims to determine the optimum blank shape design for the deep drawing of arbitrary shaped cups with a uniform trimming allowance at the flange i.e. cups without ears. This earing defect is caused by planar ...
-
Zhang, Yun (2016-01-21)This research investigates the microgrid-based solution to future distribution systems with high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs). A clustered system architecture is envisioned, in which microgrids are ...
-
Mamadapur, Monish Shivappa (2009-05-15)Fused deposition modeling is a rapid prototyping process that is widely used to create prototypes. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is the most widely used material for fused deposition modeling. The parts are fabricated ...
-
Lee, Giwhyun (2013-05-22)This dissertation develops sophisticated data analytic methods to analyze structural loads on, and power generation of, wind turbines. Wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy in wind into electrical power, are ...
-
Tran, Hoang Minh (2017-08-03)We study the problem of modeling coupled dynamics in transient processes that happen in a network. The problem is considered at two levels. At the node level, the coupling between underlying sub-processes of a node in a ...
-
Qian, Yanjun (2018-06-15)A large amount of nanomaterial characterization data has been routinely collected by using electron microscopes and stored in image or video formats. A bottleneck in making effective use of the image/video data is the lack ...
-
Wu, Dongqi (2022-07-04)This work is motivated by the imminent need to strengthen the power grid against various disturbances under increasingly complicated operating conditions introduced by various emerg-ing factors that were not present in ...
-
Kwon, Soongeol (2017-04-12)In recent years, we have noticed tremendous increase of energy consumption and carbon pollution in the industrial sector, and many energy-intensive industries are striving to reduce energy cost and to have a positive impact ...
-
Revis, Stephen (2012-07-16)The purpose of this project is to establish a correlation between precipitation and background gamma radiation levels at radiation portal monitors (RPM) deployed at various ports worldwide, and to devise a mechanism by ...
-
Lee, Ho Young (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This dissertation discusses a method that will aid in diagnosing the root causes of product and process variability in complex manufacturing processes when large quantities of multivariate in-process measurement data are ...
-
Awoleke, Obadare O (2013-01-31)This work is about fracture conductivity; how to measure and model it based on experimental data. It is also about how to determine the relative importance of the factors that affect its magnitude and how to predict its ...
