A Test For Determining An Appropriate Model For Accelerated Life Data, Yuan-Who Chen
A Test For Determining An Appropriate Model For Accelerated Life Data, Yuan-Who Chen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate a method for testing the appropriateness of accelerated life model. This method is based upon a polynomial approximation. The parameters are estimated and used for testing the appropriateness of the model.
An example illustrates the polynomial method. Real data are applied for this method. Comparison with another method demonstrates that the polynomial method is much simpler and has comparable accuracy.
Comparison Of Transition Matrices Between Metropolitan And Non-Metropolitan Areas In The State Of Utah Using Juvenile Court Data, Sung-Ik Song
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this paper is to use Markov Chains for the study of youths referred to the juvenile court in the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas of the state of Utah.
Two computer programs were written for creating case histories for each person referred to the court and for testing for the significance of the difference among several transition matrices.
Another computer program, which was written by Soo Hong Uh, was used for analyzing realizations of a Markov chains up to the 4th order; a third computer program, originally written by David White, was used for interpreting Markov chains.

Fitting Some Families Of Contagious Distributions To Biological And Accident Data, Yung-Sung Lee
Fitting Some Families Of Contagious Distributions To Biological And Accident Data, Yung-Sung Lee
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Four families of contagious distributions--generalized Poisson distributions, generalized binomial distributions, generalized Pascal distributions, and generalized log-zero distributions--are investigated in this thesis.
The family of generalized Poisson distributions contains five distributions: the Neyman Type A, the "Short," the Poisson binomial, the Poisson Pascal, and the negative binomial. The family of generalized binomial distributions contains eight distributions: the binomial Poisson, the binomial binomial, the binomial Pascal, the binomial log-zero, the Poisson with zeros, the binomial with zeros, the Pascal with zeros, and the log-zero with zeros. The family of generalized Pascal distributions contains four distributions: the Pascal Poisson, the Pascal binomial, the …
