Investigating Distributions Of Epochs In Wildland Fire Lifetimes, Xinlei Wang
Investigating Distributions Of Epochs In Wildland Fire Lifetimes, Xinlei Wang
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
The objective of my research project is to explore the relationship between variables related to wildland fire and to model distributions of epochs in wildland fire lifetimes. Several distributional families are considered for modeling these epochs, including the exponential distribution, gamma distribution, Weibull distribution and continuous phase-type distribution. I explain each of these distributions in short terms and illustrate how they are fit. Visual results of my exploratory data analysis are illustrated in two parts, data visualization and data modeling, along with my interpretation of each. Since this work is preliminary, I conclude the report with a discussion on what …

Why do we care about eigenvalues and eigenvectors? What's the big deal? For many people enrolled in entry level linear algebra courses, these concepts seem like far fetched abstractions that become pointless exercises in computation. But in reality, these fundamental ideas are vital to how we live our lives every single day. But how?
