Modeling Repairable System Failure Data Using Nhpp Realiability Growth Mode., Eunice Ofori-Addo Jan 2023

Modeling Repairable System Failure Data Using Nhpp Realiability Growth Mode., Eunice Ofori-Addo

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Stochastic point processes have been widely used to describe the behaviour of repairable systems. The Crow nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) often known as the Power Law model is regarded as one of the best models for repairable systems. The goodness-of-fit test rejects the intensity function of the power law model, and so the log-linear model was fitted and tested for goodness-of-fit. The Weibull Time to Failure recurrent neural network (WTTE-RNN) framework, a probabilistic deep learning model for failure data, is also explored. However, we find that the WTTE-RNN framework is only appropriate failure data with independent and identically distributed interarrival …


The Application Of Cloud Resources To Terrain Data Visualization, Gregory J. Larrick Jan 2019

The Application Of Cloud Resources To Terrain Data Visualization, Gregory J. Larrick

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

In this thesis, the recent trends in cloud computing, via virtual machine hosted servers, are applied to the field of big data visualization. In particular, we investigate the visualization of terrain data acquired from several major open data sets with a graphics library for browser based rendering. Similar terrain data visualization solutions have not fully taken advantage of remote computational resources. In this thesis, we show that, by using a collection of Amazon EC-2 machines for fetching and decoding of terrain data, in conjunction with modern graphics libraries, three dimensional terrain information may be viewed and interacted with by many …
