Analytics And Baseball's New Generation, John Roche
Analytics And Baseball's New Generation, John Roche
Essential Studies UNDergraduate Showcase
Major League Baseball has been a catalyst for making decisions in sports and competition from a purely mathematical viewpoint. We have seen teams utilize unique on-field player alignments and roster-building strategies based on statistical observations and applications of math. This project examines the advantages Sabermetrics and analytics present within the sport. Untapped statistical categories that could further the success of teams in the future is also briefly discussed.
The Transformation Of Science With Hpc, Big Data, And Ai, Jeffrey Kirk
The Transformation Of Science With Hpc, Big Data, And Ai, Jeffrey Kirk
Commonwealth Computational Summit
High performance computing has matured into an indispensable tool for not only academic research and government labs and agencies, but also for many industry sectors: energy, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, even digital content creation. More recently, the advent of Big Data has enabled the use of HPC techniques for large scale data analysis, expanding the scope of HPC and the reach of it into more research and enterprise use cases. Since 2012, a new regime of data-driven analytics, deep learning, has erupted in popularity, fueled by both the massive performance increases in HPC technologies and in the explosive rate of …
Investigating The Student Enrollment Decision At Wku, Alec Brown
Investigating The Student Enrollment Decision At Wku, Alec Brown
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships between the enrollment decision of first-time, first-year students admitted to Western Kentucky University and the amount of financial aid awarded, as well as demographic information. The Division of Enrollment Management provided a SAS dataset containing various information about all WKU students admitted in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Additionally, information about the 2016 class of admitted students was provided. The data has been analyzed in SAS Enterprise Miner. We performed analysis using decision tree modeling and logistic regression modeling. Results of these two procedures indicated the importance of credit hours earned …

Security And The Transnational Information Polity, Michael M. Losavio, Adel Said Elmaghraby
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
Global information and communications technologies create criminal opportunities in which criminal violation and physical proximity are decoupled. As in all our endeavors, the good become the prey of the bad. Murderous and venal exploitation of ICT has followed from the inception of the Internet, threatening all the good it brings and the trust we need so badly as a people. As the work continues to expand the implementation of Smart Cities and the Internet of Things, there will be more opportunities for exploitation of these technologies. We examine the social and liberty risks our data and technology-driven responses may entail.

Household Informedness And Policy Analytics For The Collection And Recycling Of Household Hazardous Waste In California, Kustini Lim-Wavde, Robert J. Kauffman, Gregory S. Dawson
Household Informedness And Policy Analytics For The Collection And Recycling Of Household Hazardous Waste In California, Kustini Lim-Wavde, Robert J. Kauffman, Gregory S. Dawson
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Collection and recycling of household hazardous waste (HHW) can vary due to differences in household incomes, demographics, material recyclability, and HHW collection programs. We evaluate the role of household informedness, the degree to which households have the necessary information to make utility-maximizing decisions about the handling of their waste. Household informedness seems to be influenced by HHW public education and environmental quality information. We assess the effects of household informedness on HHW collection and recycling using panel data, community surveys, drinking water compliance reports, and census data in California from 2004 to 2012. The results enable the calculation of …
Mobile Big Data Analytics In Healthcare, Alramzana Nujum Navaz
Mobile Big Data Analytics In Healthcare, Alramzana Nujum Navaz
Theses
Mobile and ubiquitous devices are everywhere around us generating considerable amount of data. The concept of mobile computing and analytics is expanding due to the fact that we are using mobile devices day in and out without even realizing it. These mobile devices use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or mobile data to be intermittently connected to the world, generating, sending and receiving data on the move. Latest mobile applications incorporating graphics, video and audio are main causes of loading the mobile devices by consuming battery, memory and processing power. Mobile Big data analytics includes for instance, big health data, big location data, …
A Comparison On The Classification Of Short-Text Documents Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation And Formal Concept Analysis, Noel Rogers, Luca Longo
A Comparison On The Classification Of Short-Text Documents Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation And Formal Concept Analysis, Noel Rogers, Luca Longo
Conference papers
With the increasing amounts of textual data being collected online, automated text classification techniques are becoming increasingly important. However, a lot of this data is in the form of short-text with just a handful of terms per document (e.g. Text messages, tweets or Facebook posts). This data is generally too sparse and noisy to obtain satisfactory classification. Two techniques which aim to alleviate this problem are Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). Both techniques have been shown to improve the performance of short-text classification by reducing the sparsity of the input data. The relative performance of classifiers …
Dynamic Behavior Analysis Of Android Applications For Malware Detection, Latika Singh, Markus Hofmann
Dynamic Behavior Analysis Of Android Applications For Malware Detection, Latika Singh, Markus Hofmann
Conference papers
Android is most popular operating system for smartphones and small devices with 86.6% market share (Chau 2016). Its open source nature makes it more prone to attacks creating a need for malware analysis. Main approaches for detecting malware intents of mobile applications are based on either static analysis or dynamic analysis. In static analysis, apps are inspected for suspicious patterns of code to identify malicious segments. However, several obfuscation techniques are available to provide a guard against such analysis. The dynamic analysis on the other hand is a behavior-based detection method that involves investigating the run-time behavior of the suspicious …
