Master of Science<br>Department of Civil Engineering<br>Mustaque Hossain<br>The Kansas Department of Transportation is transitioning from adherence to the 1993 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Pavement Design Guide to implementation of the new AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for flexible and rigid pavement design. This study was initiated to calibrate MEPDG distress models for Kansas. Twenty-seven newly constructed projects were selected for flexible pavement distress model calibration, 21 of which were used for calibration

Abstract:
This thesis introduces the eBAEL (extended Empirical Balanced Augmented Likelihood) method for general analytical moment conditions. It proves that eBAEL has a X2 - limit distribution and provides a consistent estimator. Numerical results demonstrate that the eBAEL ratio statistics exhibits less bias than AEL ratio statistics and has smaller type I errors. This thesis also presents a general framework for calibrating financial agent-based models using eBAEL, where the aim is to find the model parameter for which the true model moments match the given empirical values. It is demonstrated that o

Abstract:
Medical cost has received increasing interest recently in Biostatistics and public health. Statistical analysis and inference of life time medical cost have been challenging by the fact that the survival times are censored on some study subjects and their subsequent cost are unknown. Huang (2002) proposed the calibration regression model which is a semiparametric regression tool to study the medical cost associated with covariates. In this thesis, an inference procedure is investigated using empirical likelihood ratio method. The unadjusted and adjusted empirical likelihood confidence regions

Abstract:
This article aims at the statistical assessment of time series with large fluctuations in short time, which are assumed to stem from a continuous process perturbed by a Lévy process exhibiting a heavy tail behavior. We propose an easily implementable procedure to estimate efficiently the statistical difference between the noisy behavior of the data and a given reference jump measure in terms of so-called coupling distances. After a short introduction to Lévy processes and coupling distances we recall basic statistical approximation results and derive rates of convergence. In the sequel the p

Abstract:
This thesis documents the results of the calibration of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) safety performance function (SPF) for rural two-lane two-way roadway segments in Utah and the development of new SPFs using negative binomial and hierarchical Bayesian modeling techniques. SPFs estimate the safety of a roadway entity, such as a segment or intersection, in terms of number of crashes. The new SPFs were developed for comparison to the calibrated HSM SPF. This research was performed for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT).The study area was the state of Utah. Crash data from 2005-2007

Cette thèse présente trois parties liées à la théorie des sondages. La première partie présente deux résultats originaux de sondages qui ont eu des applications pratiques dans des enquêtes par sondage de l'Insee. Le premier article présente un théorème autorisant un plan de sondage stratifié constituant un compromis entre la dispersion des poids et l'allocation de précision optimale pour une variable d'intérêt spécifique. Les données d’enquête sont souvent utilisées pour estimer nombre de totaux ou modèles issus de variables exclues du design. La précision attendue pour ces variables est donc

Abstract:
In this thesis, we will study issues related to prediction problems and put an emphasis on those arising when recurrent events are involved. First we define the basic concepts of frequentist and Bayesian statistical prediction in the first chapter. In the second chapter, we study frequentist prediction intervals and their associated predictive distributions. We will then present an approach based on asymptotically uniform pivotals that is shown to dominate the plug-in approach under certain conditions. The following three chapters consider the prediction of recurrent events. The

Abstract:
This thesis provides several new calibration methods for the empirical log-likelihood ratio. The commonly used Chi-square calibration is based on the limiting distribu¬tion of this ratio but it constantly suffers from the undercoverage problem. The finite sample distribution of the empirical log-likelihood ratio is recognized to have a mix¬ture structure with a continuous component on [0, +∞) and a probability mass at +∞. Consequently, new calibration methods are developed to take advantage of this mixture structure; we propose new calibration methods based on the mixture distrib¬utions, such

The present study shows the results of experimental analyses of field cone penetration tests as well as calibration chamber mini-piezocone tests on soils of intermediate permeability (silts, clayey and sandy silts). The penetration rate varied across over three orders of magnitude to provide information on partially drained and undrained tip resistance, excess pore water pressure and friction sleeve. Whilst previous experimental researches essentially focused on tip resistance and pore water pressure measurements, it is worthwhile underlying that the present study is one of the first experimen
