Spectral Measures, Orthogonal Polynomials, And Absolute Continuity, Joanne Dombrowski
Spectral Measures, Orthogonal Polynomials, And Absolute Continuity, Joanne Dombrowski
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
This paper studies the spectral measure of an unbounded tridiagonal matrix operator for which the matrix entries satisfy a certain growth condition, and presents a sufficient condition for the existence of an absolutely continuous part. The results are related to a class of orthogonal polynomials with exponential weights.
Parameter Estimation For Generalized Pareto Distribution, Der-Chen Lin
Parameter Estimation For Generalized Pareto Distribution, Der-Chen Lin
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The generalized Pareto distribution was introduced by Pickands (1975). Three methods of estimating the parameters of the generalized Pareto distribution were compared by Hosking and Wallis (1987). The methods are maximum likelihood, method of moments and probability-weighted moments.
An alternate method of estimation for the generalized Pareto distribution, based on least square regression of expected order statistics (REOS), is developed and evaluated in this thesis. A Monte Carlo comparison is made between this method and the estimating methods considered by Hosking and Wallis (1987). This method is shown to be generally superior to the maximum likelihood, method of moments and …
Comparison Of Bootstrap With Other Tests For Several Distributions, Yu-Yu Wong
Comparison Of Bootstrap With Other Tests For Several Distributions, Yu-Yu Wong
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This paper discusses results of a computer simulation to investigate several different tests when sampling several distributions. The hypothesis H0: μ=0 was tested against H0: μ≠0, using the usual t-test, trimmed t-test, the Jackkinfe, the Bootstrap and signed-rank test. The p-values and empirical power show that the Bootstrap is as good as the t-test. The Jackknife procedure is too liberal, always obtaining small p-values. The signed-rank is a fairly good test if the data follows the Cauchy Distribution.
Overall Life Satisfaction Of Ileostomates: Conventional Brooke Ileostomy Versus Modified Kock Pouch, Sandra Sisson Briscoe
Overall Life Satisfaction Of Ileostomates: Conventional Brooke Ileostomy Versus Modified Kock Pouch, Sandra Sisson Briscoe
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze various aspects of quality of life and to determine if there is a difference in quality of life offered by a conventional ileostomy versus a continent ileostomy.
An instrument was developed to measure several factors thought to influence quality of life as well as several structural/demographic variables. This instrument was designed for persons with a conventional ileostomy and was modified for persons who had undergone conversion surgery from conventional to continent ileostomy.
Analysis of variance was performed to determine differences in quality of life for persons with a conventional, conversion, or original …
