(2017-12-11)Full waveform (FW) and photon counting LiDAR (PCL) data have garnered greater attention due to increasing data availability, a wealth of information they contain and promising prospects for large scale vegetation mapping. ...
-
(2013-07-30)The Eagle Ford play in south Texas is currently one of the hottest plays in the United States. In 2012, the average Eagle Ford rig count (269 rigs) was 15% of the total US rig count. Assessment of the oil and gas resources ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Conditioning geologic models to production data and assessment of uncertainty is generally done in a Bayesian framework. The current Bayesian approach suffers from three major limitations that make it impractical for ...
-
(2012-10-19)We propose Bayesian methods for estimating the precision matrix in Gaussian graphical models. The methods lead to sparse and adaptively shrunk estimators of the precision matrix, and thus conduct model selection and ...
-
(2009-05-15)Life sciences research is advancing in breadth and scope, affecting many areas of life including medical care and government policy. The field of Bioinformatics, in particular, is growing very rapidly with the help of ...
-
(2009-05-15)Nuclear weapons proliferation produces a vehement global safety and security concern. Perhaps most threatening is the scenario of a rogue nation or a terrorist organization acquiring nuclear weapons where the conventional ...
-
(2009-05-15)Current models of the modulus of elasticity, E , of concrete recommended by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) are derived only for ...
-
(2021-06-29)This dissertation focuses on Bayesian semiparametric regression techniques under constrained setting, and its methodological, computational and applied aspects. We study several non-traditional statistical problems that ...
-
(2009-05-15)LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the U.S. to fulfill the increasing energy demands. In order to meet the LNG demand, many LNG facilities including LNG importation terminals are ...
-
(2023-03-21)The concern of human health risks from exposure to chemicals has grown which has resulted in numerous studies in experimental animals to assess the risk. There is a significant gap in data and models as they often fail to ...
-
(2014-08-06)Corporate portfolio risk analysis is of primary concern for many organizations, as the success of strategic objectives greatly depends on an accurate risk assessment. Current risk analysis methods typically involve statistical ...
-
(2018-06-01)Cancer is a disease associated with uncontrolled cell proliferation or reduced cell death, either of which can lead to tumorigenesis. A possible route through which cancer can develop is by breakdowns in the signaling ...
-
(2015-08-05)Piecewise growth mixture modeling (PGMM) can be used to investigate growth and change of subpopulations consisting of distinct developmental phases (Muthén, 2008). The major difficulty in specifying a PGMM is how to optimally ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Current techniques for production data integration into reservoir models can be broadly grouped into two categories: deterministic and Bayesian. The deterministic approach relies on imposing parameter smoothness constraints ...
-
(2016-06-03)The Poisson-gamma (PG) and Poisson-lognormal (PLN) regression models are among the most popular means for motor-vehicle crash data analysis. Both models belong to the Poisson-hierarchical family of models, which provides ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Estimating original hydrocarbons in place (OHIP) in a reservoir is fundamentally important to estimating reserves and potential profitability. Quantifying the uncertainties in OHIP estimates can improve reservoir development ...
-
(2018-07-24)This dissertation consists of three manuscripts. The manuscripts contribute to a budding “methodological reform” currently taking place in quantitative second-language (L2) research. In the first manuscript, the researcher ...
-
(2012-08-17)Isopods in the genus Tylos are distributed in tropical and subtropical sandy intertidal beaches throughout the world. These isopods have biological characteristics that are expected to severely restrict their long-distance ...
-
(2010-07-14)Geotechnical engineers are always faced with uncertainties and spatial variations in material parameters. In this work, we propose to develop a framework able to account for different types of uncertainties in a formal and ...
-
(2015-01-29)We begin this research by asking "can we better estimate reserves in unconventional reservoirs using Bayes' theorem?" To attempt to answer this question, we obtained data for 68 wells in the Greater Core of the Eagle Ford ...
