(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Data on 167 bulls from a modified five breed diallel involving Angus, Brahman, Hereford, Holstein and Jersey were used to compare alternative statistical models for estimation and characterization of various breed types ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)A development that has occurred in the last 20 years is the increased use of statistical techniques by auditors. This increased use of statistical procedures has brought a unique set of problems to the auditor, ranging ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Three crop moisture stress indices (CMSI1, CMSI2 and CMSI3) are proposed. In computing index 1 and 2, stress is assumed to occur when the actual to potential transpiration ratio (AT/PT) falls below a critical level, while ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Population samples of Schizachyrium scoparium, collected from Texas (vars. divergens, frequens, littorals, and virile) and New Mexico (var. neomexicanum), and herbarium specimens (including type specimens of Andropogon ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)To use the Bayesian approach to statistical inference, the auditor's subjective evidence must be quantified in the form of a prior probability distribution (PPD). Prior to this study there had been anecdotal evidence that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)This research investigates the use of a multidimensional range statistic as a tool to make statistical decisions concerning the variability of a process. Transformations were developed to permit the joint distribution of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)This dissertation is concerned with identifying and delineating the organizational form, behavior and goals of a firm, owned and operated by its customers. The term consumer-managed firm, as used in this dissertation, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The economist is often forced, by availability, to use data which is aggregated over time. In this study the effects of using temporally aggregated data in estimating and predicting economic relations is assessed. As an ...
-
(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, 1985)An understanding of the spatial variability of mine spoil is needed to improve sampling techniques. Core samples were taken at two sites at intervals of 3.05 m along four intersecting transects located at 0, 45, 90, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Infiltration in irrigated furrows is a complex hydraulic phenomenon that varies in both space and time. The effects of spatially variable infiltration on advance and infiltration of water along a furrow must be well ...
-
Integrated forecasting analysis for comprehensive urban planning using vector autoregressive model (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Many urban problems are attributed to inappropriate comprehensive planning which fails to account for the dynamic and inter-related nature of urban activities in its forecasts. While many studies have attempted to integrate ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)In this dissertation, an approach to representing the covariance structure of spatial random variables is presented. A number of methods for fitting polygonal functions to variograms are demonstrated. Techniques for ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)It is the purpose of this study to determine the turnaround strategies used by recovered savings institutions and use them to predict which thrifts might regain their solvency given sufficient time. The study focused upon ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A methodology was developed using neural network theory to predict the occurrence of out of control process parameter conditions in a composite board manufacturing facility. Three weeks of process parameter data were ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Forest stand parameters were shown to be estimable, using data acquired by the Landsat satellite, at a statistically significant level of accuracy. When volume was regressed against spectral signature, the vegetation index ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Time-series designs are becoming more popular in the behavioral sciences, and the interrupted-time-quasi-experiment has shown a great deal of flexibility in single-subject and group designs. However, the question of which ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)This dissertation is concerned with developing and documenting a system for the statistical analysis and optimization of Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) network scheduling systems. Previous research and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An analysis of the possible differences among various rainfall parameters during drought and nondrought periods was undertaken for 12 Texas stations. The division of monthly rainfall amounts into quintiles served as the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This dissertation deals with both theoretical and practical aspects of integrated circuits (IC's) statistical design. It stresses and explains that the essential difference between IC statistical design and discrete circuit ...
