Visualizing And Forecasting Box-Office Revenues: A Case Study Of The James Bond Movie Series, Vahan Petrosyan
Visualizing And Forecasting Box-Office Revenues: A Case Study Of The James Bond Movie Series, Vahan Petrosyan
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
This Master's report deals with the visualization and forecasting of the box-office revenues and some related variables from the James Bond movie Series. Visualization techniques such as time series plots, scatterplot matrices, dotplots, boxplots, histograms, normal quantile plots, parallel coordinates plots, heatmaps, mosaic plots, association plots, and choropleth maps are used to provide some deeper insights into the given dataset. Additionally, the results from an article published in 1997 are reproduced and extended. This article modeled the box-office revenues of the James Bond movie series. Numerous statistical models were examined to obtain the models that are closest to the original …

Mvgst: Tools For Multivariate And Directional Gene Set Testing, Dennis S. Mecham
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
There are many platforms available for simultaneously measuring the relative activity, or expression, levels of all genes in an organism. Genes that have systematically dier- ent expression levels between experimental factor levels are called \dierentially expressed". Because genes are annotated based on their known roles in biological processes (BP), molec- ular functions (MF) and cellular components (CC), gene expression levels can be used to determine relative activity levels of individual BP, MF, or CC between experimental fac- tor levels (this is called gene set testing). Often multiple experimental dierences are of interest simultaneously, which necessitates multivariate gene set testing. Only …

Volatility is of central interest in modern financial econometrics. This thesis evaluates three different methods of measuring volatility.
Lifetime Modeling Of Deficient Bridges In New York, Levi Phippen
Lifetime Modeling Of Deficient Bridges In New York, Levi Phippen
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Given the importance of bridges to a state's economy and strength, and the costs involved in building and maintaining bridges, maximizing their service life is essential. In order to safely extend a bridge's utility as long as possible, an understanding of its lifetime processes is needed. This paper attempts to model the lifetime of a bridge in New York once it has become deficient. Lifetime is defined to be the length of time between deficiency classification and failure. A bridge is considered deficient when certain structural components receive a poor rating in the National Bridge Inventory, which is compiled annually …
