Real Simple Lie Algebras: Cartan Subalgebras, Cayley Transforms, And Classification, Hannah M. Lewis
Real Simple Lie Algebras: Cartan Subalgebras, Cayley Transforms, And Classification, Hannah M. Lewis

The differential geometry software package in Maple has the necessary tools and commands to automate the classification process for complex simple Lie algebras. The purpose of this thesis is to write the programs to complete the classification for real simple Lie algebras. This classification is difficult because the Cartan subalgebras are not all conjugate as they are in the complex case. For the process of the real classification, one must first identify a maximally noncompact Cartan subalgebra. The process of the Cayley transform is used to find this specific Cartan subalgebra. This Cartan subalgebra is used to find the simple …
Extensions And Improvements To Random Forests For Classification, Anna Quach
Extensions And Improvements To Random Forests For Classification, Anna Quach
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The motivation of my dissertation is to improve two weaknesses of Random Forests. One, the failure to detect genetic interactions between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in higher dimensions when the interacting SNPs both have weak main effects and two, the difficulty of interpretation in comparison to parametric methods such as logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, and linear regression.
We focus on detecting pairwise SNP interactions in genome case-control studies. We determine the best parameter settings to optimize the detection of SNP interactions and improve the efficiency of Random Forests and present an efficient filtering method. The filtering method is …
