    • Assessment of suspended dust from pipe rattling operations 
      Park, Ju-Myon (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
      Six types of aerosol samplers were evaluated experimentally in a test chamber with polydisperse fly ash. The Andersen sampler overestimates the mass of small particles due to particle bounce between stages and therefore ...
    • Bayesian inference on mixture models and their applications 
      Chang, Ilsung (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
      Mixture models are useful in describing a wide variety of random phenomena because of their flexibility in modeling. They have continued to receive increasing attention over the years from both a practical and theoretical ...
    • Bayesian model selection using exact and approximated posterior probabilities with applications to Star Data 
      Pokta, Suriani (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
      This research consists of two parts. The first part examines the posterior probability integrals for a family of linear models which arises from the work of Hart, Koen and Lombard (2003). Applying Laplace's method ...
    • Bayesian models for DNA microarray data analysis 
      Lee, Kyeong Eun (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
      Selection of signi?cant genes via expression patterns is important in a microarray problem. Owing to small sample size and large number of variables (genes), the selection process can be unstable. This research proposes a ...
    • Nonparametric methods of assessing spatial isotropy 
      Guan, Yong Tao (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
      A common requirement for spatial analysis is the modeling of the second-order structure. While the assumption of isotropy is often made for this structure, it is not always appropriate. A conventional practice to check for ...
