Understanding Household, Network, And Organizational Drivers Of Adoption Of Cleaner Cooking Fuels In Rural India, Praveen Kumar
Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Adoption of evidence-based cleaner cooking systems such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a crucial first step in eventually providing a sustainable solution for household air pollution. To promote adoption of LPG in below poverty line households, we require evidence-based implementation strategies. For these strategies to be feasible and scalable, they need to be grounded in a thorough understanding of the household, network, and organizational level drivers of LPG adoption. However, systematic research on adoption of LPG by poor communities is still lacking.
The overall objective of the study was to develop a better understanding about new insights on the …

Statistical Models To Predict Popularity Of News Articles On Social Networks, Ziyi Liu
Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Social networks have changed the way that we obtain information. Content creators and, specifically news article authors, have in interest in predicting the popularity of content, in terms of the number of shares, likes, and comments across various social media platforms. In this thesis, I employ several statistical learning methods for prediction. Both regression-based and classification-based methods are compared according to their predictive ability, using a database from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
