The Bootstrap in Supervised Learning and its Applications in Genomics/Proteomics
(2012-07-16)The small-sample size issue is a prevalent problem in Genomics and Proteomics today. Bootstrap, a resampling method which aims at increasing the efficiency of data usage, is considered to be an effort to overcome the problem ... -
Characterization of aggregate shape properties using a computer automated system
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Shape, texture, and angularity are among the properties of aggregates that have a significant effect on the performance of hot-mix asphalt, hydraulic cement concrete, and unbound base and subbase layers. Consequently, ... -
Criteria Combinations in the Personality Disorders: Challenges Associated with a Polythetic Diagnostic System
(2011-08-08)Converging research on the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders (PDs) reveals that most criteria have different psychometric properties. This finding is inconsistent with the DSM-IV-TR PD diagnostic system, which ... -
Early Anomaly Detection and Classification with Streaming Synchrophasor Data in Electric Energy Systems
(2015-11-24)The large-scale streaming data collected from the increasing deployed phasor measurement unit (PMU) devices poses significant difficulties for real-time data-driven analytics in power systems. This dissertation presents a ... -
Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Gene Regulatory Networks and Optimal Bayesian Classification of Metagenomic Data
(2017-04-25)It is well known that the molecular basis of many diseases, particularly cancer, resides in the loss of regulatory power in critical genomic pathways due to DNA mutations. We propose a methodology for model-based fault ... -
Investigation for Genetic Determinants of Flexion Contractures and Contracted Foal Syndrome in Neonatal Thoroughbred Foals
(2014-09-04)Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the leading causes of morality in neonatal Thoroughbred foals. Contracted Foal Syndrome (CFS) has accounted for up to 48% of such disorders in foals submitted for necropsy according to ... -
Nonparametric Inference for High Dimensional Data
(2013-04-23)Learning from data, especially ‘Big Data’, is becoming increasingly popular under names such as Data Mining, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistical Learning and High Dimensional Data Analysis. In this dissertation we ... -
Predicting Academic Performance of Potential Electrical Engineering Majors
(2017-07-26)Data Analytics for education is fast growing into an important part of higher learning institutions, which helps to improve student success rate and decision-making with regards to teaching methods, course selection, and ... -
Real-Time Classification of Road Conditions
(2015-09-03)Common navigation algorithms like A* or D* Lite rely on costs to determine an optimal path. Costs may incorporate distance, time, or energy consumption; however, they can include anything that affects travel along a path. ... -
Remote-Sensing Classification of Floodplain Land Cover and Geomorphology from Landsat 7 and Ancillary Data Using Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis
(2019-07-10)Detailed classification of floodplain land cover and geomorphology is a fundamental step in understanding the process-pattern interactions between a river channel and its floodplain. Although supervised classification has ... -
Secondary Analysis of Case-Control Studies in Genomic Contexts
(2011-10-21)This dissertation consists of five independent projects. In each project, a novel statistical method was developed to address a practical problem encountered in genomic contexts. For example, we considered testing for ... -
Sentiment-based Classification of Tweeters and University Programs
(2014-08-21)The rapidly growing World WideWeb (WWW) is no longer a passive information provider. Nowadays, Internet users themselves have become contributors to the WWW. A lot of user generated data, along with non-user-generated data, ... -
Statistical Analysis of Transposon Sequencing Data to Determine Essential Genes
(2016-12-02)Transposon Sequencing (TnSeq) has become a popular biological tool for assessing the phenotypes of large libraries of bacterial mutants at the same time. This allows for high-throughput identification of genes which are ... -
Vegetation classification and the efficacy of plant dominance-based classifications in predicting the occurrence of plant and animal species
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)One strategy for conserving biodiversity is to select large-area preserves that complement each other so the maximum number of species is conserved. Estimates of biodiversity and complementarity are needed for optimum ...
