An Assessment Of The Performances Of Several Univariate Tests Of Normality, 2015 Florida International University
An Assessment Of The Performances Of Several Univariate Tests Of Normality, James Olusegun Adefisoye
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The importance of checking the normality assumption in most statistical procedures especially parametric tests cannot be over emphasized as the validity of the inferences drawn from such procedures usually depend on the validity of this assumption. Numerous methods have been proposed by different authors over the years, some popular and frequently used, others, not so much. This study addresses the performance of eighteen of the available tests for different sample sizes, significance levels, and for a number of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by conducting a Monte-Carlo simulation. The results showed that considerable power is not achieved for symmetric distributions when …

Rationality Of The Spectral Action For Robertson-Walker Metrics And The Geometry Of The Determinant Line Bundle For The Noncommutative Two Torus, 2015 The University of Western Ontario
Rationality Of The Spectral Action For Robertson-Walker Metrics And The Geometry Of The Determinant Line Bundle For The Noncommutative Two Torus, Asghar Ghorbanpour
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In noncommutative geometry, the geometry of a space is given via a spectral triple $(\mathcal{A,H},D)$. Geometric information, in this approach, is encoded in the spectrum of $D$ and to extract them, one should study spectral functions such as the heat trace $\Tr (e^{-tD^2})$, the spectral zeta function $\Tr(|D|^{-s})$ and the spectral action functional, $\Tr f(D/\Lambda)$.
The main focus of this thesis is on the methods and tools that can be used to extract the spectral information. Applying the pseudodifferential calculus and the heat trace techniques, in addition to computing the newer terms, we prove the rationality of the spectral action …
Solutions Of A Logistic Equation On Varying Time Scales: A Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis, 2015 Marshall University
Solutions Of A Logistic Equation On Varying Time Scales: A Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis, Alexandria Amity Amorim
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
Time Scale Calculus, introduced by Dr. Stefan Hilger in 1988, combines the study of differential and difference equations into a single topic. We begin with an introduction of sets used in this field, time scales, and build up to the definition of the exponential function on a time scale. The main focus of this work is a study of the solutions of a particular logistic dynamic equation on varying time scales. We study both the analytical and graphical solutions of this equation. Analytical solutions are worked out using theorems from Time Scale Calculus, including properties of the exponential function. Graphical …
Key Factors Driving Personnel Downsizing In Multinational Military Organizations, 2015 Old Dominion University
Key Factors Driving Personnel Downsizing In Multinational Military Organizations, Ilksen Gorkem, Resit Unal, Pilar Pazos
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications
Although downsizing has long been a topic of research in traditional organizations, there are very few studies of this phenomenon in military contexts. As a result, we have little understanding of the key factors that drive personnel downsizing in military setting. This study contributes to our understanding of key factors that drive personnel downsizing in military organizations and whether those factors may differ across NATO nations’ cultural clusters. The theoretical framework for this study was built from studies in non-military contexts and adapted to fit the military environment.
This research relies on historical data from one of the largest multinational …
Algebraic Structures On Mod Planes, 2015 University of New Mexico
Algebraic Structures On Mod Planes, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy, K. Ilanthenral
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Study of MOD planes happens to a very recent one. Authors have studied several properties of MOD real planes Rn(m); 2 ≤ m ≤ ∞. In fact unlike the real plane R × R which is unique MOD real planes are infinite in number. Likewise MOD complex planes Cn(m); 2 ≤ m ≤ ∞, are infinitely many. The MOD neutrosophic planes RnI(m); 2 ≤ m ≤ ∞ are infinite in number where as we have only one neutrosophic plane R(I) = 〈R ∪ I〉 = {a + bI | I2 = I; a, b ∈ R}. Further three other new …

In this book for the first time authors study mod planes using modulo intervals [0, m); 2 ≤ m ≤ ∞. These planes unlike the real plane have only one quadrant so the study is carried out in a compact space but infinite in dimension. We have given seven mod planes viz real mod planes (mod real plane) finite complex mod plane, neutrosophic mod plane, fuzzy mod plane, (or mod fuzzy plane), mod dual number plane, mod special dual like number plane and mod special quasi dual number plane. These mod planes unlike real plane or complex plane or neutrosophic …
Exploring A Generalized Partial Borda Count Voting System, 2015 Bard College
Exploring A Generalized Partial Borda Count Voting System, Christiane Koffi
Senior Projects Spring 2015
The main purpose of an election is to generate a fair end result in which everyone's opinion is gathered into a collective decision. This project focuses on Voting Theory, the mathematical study of voting systems. Because different voting systems yield different end results, the challenge begins with finding a voting system that will result in a fair election. Although there are many different voting systems, in this project we focus on the Partial Borda Count Voting System, which uses partially ordered sets (posets), instead of the linearly ordered ballots used in traditional elections, to rank its candidates. We introduce the …
Formality And Informality In Cost-Benefit Analysis, 2015 Temple University Beasley School of Law
Formality And Informality In Cost-Benefit Analysis, Amy Sinden
Utah Law Review
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is usually treated as a monolith. In fact, the term can refer to a broad variety of decisionmaking practices, ranging from a qualitative comparison of pros and cons to a highly formalized and technical method grounded in economic theory that monetizes both costs and benefits, discounts to present net value, and locates the point at which the marginal benefits curve crosses the marginal costs curve. This article develops a typology that helps to conceptualize the multiple varieties of CBA along a formality-informality spectrum. It then uses this typology to analyze the treatment of CBA by the academic …
Quantization Of Analysis, 2015 Colby College
Quantization Of Analysis, Kelvin K. Lui
Honors Theses
In quantum mechanics the replacement of complex vectors with operators is essential to “quantizing” space. Nonetheless, in many physics textbooks there is no justification for this action. Therefore in this thesis I will attempt to understand the mathematical formalism that allows for such a “replacement” to be rigorous. I will approach this topic by first defining a vector spaces and its dual space, a Hilbert space and a conjugate Hilbert space, and an operator space. Next, I will look at the algebraic tensor product of two vector spaces, two Hilbert spaces, and finally two operator spaces. Ultimately we will look …
Special Type Of Topological Spaces Using [0, N), 2015 University of New Mexico
Special Type Of Topological Spaces Using [0, N), Florentin Smarandache, W.B Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors for the first time introduce the notion of special type of topological spaces using the interval [0, n). They are very different from the usual topological spaces. Algebraic structure using the interval [0, n) have been systemically dealt by the authors. Now using those algebraic structures in this book authors introduce the notion of special type of topological spaces. Using the super subset interval semigroup special type of super interval topological spaces are built. Several interesting results in this direction are obtained. Next six types of topological spaces using subset interval pseudo ring semiring of type …
Infinite Quaternion Pseudo Rings Using [0, N), 2015 University of New Mexico
Infinite Quaternion Pseudo Rings Using [0, N), Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors study the properties of finite real quaternion ring which was introduced in [2000]. Here a complete study of these finite quaternion rings are made. Also polynomial quaternion rings are defined, they happen to behave in a very different way. In the first place the fundamental theorem of algebra, “a nth degree polynomial has n and only n roots”, n is untrue in case of polynomial in polynomial quaternion rings in general. Further the very concept of derivative and integrals of these polynomials are untrue. Finally interval pseudo quaternion rings also behave in an erratic way. Not …
