Generalizing Multistage Partition Procedures For Two-Parameter Exponential Populations, Rui Wang
Generalizing Multistage Partition Procedures For Two-Parameter Exponential Populations, Rui Wang
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
ANOVA analysis is a classic tool for multiple comparisons and has been widely used in numerous disciplines due to its simplicity and convenience. The ANOVA procedure is designed to test if a number of different populations are all different. This is followed by usual multiple comparison tests to rank the populations. However, the probability of selecting the best population via ANOVA procedure does not guarantee the probability to be larger than some desired prespecified level. This lack of desirability of the ANOVA procedure was overcome by researchers in early 1950's by designing experiments with the goal of selecting the best …
Risk Assessment Of Dropped Cylindrical Objects In Offshore Operations, Adelina Steven
Risk Assessment Of Dropped Cylindrical Objects In Offshore Operations, Adelina Steven
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Dropped object are defined as any object that fall under its own weight from a previously static position or fell due to an applied force from equipment or a moving object. It is among the top ten causes of injuries and fatality in oil and gas industry. To solve this problem, several in-house tools and guidelines is developed over time to assess the risk of dropped objects on the sub-sea structures. This thesis focuses on compiling and comparing those methods in hope to improve the recommended practices available in the market. A simple modification is done on the in-house tools …
Security Analysis On Network Systems Based On Some Stochastic Models, Xiaohu Li
Security Analysis On Network Systems Based On Some Stochastic Models, Xiaohu Li
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
Due to great effort from mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists, network science has attained rapid development during the past decades. However, because of the complexity, most researches in this area are conducted only based upon experiments and simulations, it is critical to do research based on theoretical results so as to gain more insight on how the structure of a network affects the security. This dissertation introduces some stochastic and statistical models on certain networks and uses a k-out-of-n tolerant structure to characterize both logically and physically the behavior of nodes. Based upon these models, we draw several illuminating results …
