Using Random Forest In The Field Of Metabolomics, Curtis White
Using Random Forest In The Field Of Metabolomics, Curtis White
Theses and Dissertations
Metabolomics is the science of comprehensive evaluation of changes in the metabolome with a goal to elucidate underlying biological mechanisms of a living system. There is an opinion in the field of metabolomics, the study of the set of metabolites present within an organism, cell, or tissue, that the future development of the field is contingent upon two factors. One of the factors is the advancement of analytical instrumentation, and the other is developing data mining methodologies for extracting meaningful and interpretable experimental results. There are many different types of data mining methodologies, but the undertaking of selecting a particular …
Arimaa: Developing A Higher Ranked Fall Back Move Generator Using A Relational Database, Patrick Mckee
Arimaa: Developing A Higher Ranked Fall Back Move Generator Using A Relational Database, Patrick Mckee
Theses and Dissertations
Our approach to playing the game of Arimaa understands that the game was created to showcase the limits of brute force computing power. Using a relational database, we will be able to view similar situations that have already been played out, inventory a number of suitable reactions and make the best move given a number of attributes. This results in us making a decision that can theoretically result in a win, and hopefully will. Measurable positive results have been procured specifically from the area of concentration component of the research. In the area of concentration component we target a specific …
Towards An Automated System For Evaluation Of Visualizations, Douglas Taggart
Towards An Automated System For Evaluation Of Visualizations, Douglas Taggart
Theses and Dissertations
The Information Visualization field focuses on the visualization of abstract data, and with the growing interest in big data analysis, the need for analyzing complex datasets is nowadays highly relevant. With the growing amount and diversity of these datasets new and exciting ways to visualize them are being developed. However, being able to thoroughly test and evaluate the effectiveness of these new visualization techniques is an arduous manual process. Moreover, different researchers hold different opinions on how to thoroughly evaluate a new visualization method. A step towards automating the process of evaluation of visualizations, called the Framework for the Evaluation …
Optimizing Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (Aodv) Routing Protocol Using Geographical Location Data, Remo Cocco
Optimizing Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (Aodv) Routing Protocol Using Geographical Location Data, Remo Cocco
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis summarizes the body of research regarding location-aided routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). This study focuses on the use of geographical location information to reduce the control traffic overhead caused by the route discovery process in the ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol. During this process, AODV will flood the entire network with route request packets. This introduces significant packet-handling overhead into the network. This thesis introduces Geographical AODV (GeoAODV), which uses geographical location information to limit the search area during the route discovery process to include only promising search paths. Also, this thesis benchmarks GeoAODV's …
