Abstract:
This dissertation consists of three articles, proposing extensions of finite mixtures in regression models. Here we consider a flexible class of both univariate and multivariate distributions, which allow adequate modeling of asymmetric data that have multimodality, heavy tails and outlying observations. This class has special cases such as skew-normal, skew-t, skew-slash and skew normal contaminated distributions, as well as symmetric cases. Initially, a model is proposed based on the assumption that the errors follow a finite mixture of scale mixture of skew-normal (FM-SMSN) distribution rat

Abstract:
Initially, this thesis introduces a new graphical tool, that can be used to summarise data possessing a mixture structure. Computation of the required summary statistics makes use of posterior probabilities of class membership obtained from a fitted mixture model. In this context, both real and simulated data are used to highlight the usefulness of the tool for the visualisation of mixture data in comparison to the use of a traditional boxplot. This thesis uses localised mixture models to produce predictions from time series data. Estimation method used in these models is achieved using a kern

Abstract:
Statistics, as a critical component in transportation research, has been widely used to analyze driver safety, travel time, traffic flow and numerous other problems. Many of these popular topics can be interpreted as to establish the statistical models for the latent structure of data. Over the past several years, the interest in latent class models has continuously increased due to their great potential in solving practical problems. In this dissertation, I developed several latent class models to quantitatively analyze the hidden structure of transportation data and addressed related applica

In the first part, a robust estimation procedure for the mixture of classical multivariate linear regression models is discussed by assuming that the error terms follow a multivariate Laplace distribution. An EM algorithm is developed based on the fact that the multivariate Laplace distribution is a scale mixture of the multivariate standard no

Abstract:
High-performance computing (HPC) variability management is an important topic in computer science. Research topics include experimental designs for efficient data collection, surrogate models for predicting the performance variability, and system configuration optimization. Due to the complex architecture of HPC systems, a comprehensive study of HPC variability needs large-scale datasets, and experimental design techniques are useful for improved data collection. Surrogate models are essential to understand the variability as a function of system parameters, which can be obtained by mathematic

Abstract:
In this thesis, the issue of incorporating uncertainty for environmental modelling informed by imagery is explored by considering uncertainty in deterministic modelling, measurement uncertainty and uncertainty in image composition. Incorporating uncertainty in deterministic modelling is extended for use with imagery using the Bayesian melding approach. In the application presented, slope steepness is shown to be the main contributor to total uncertainty in the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation. A spatial sampling procedure is also proposed to assist in implementing Bayesian melding given th

Abstract:
Observed data are frequently characterized by a spatial dependence; that is the observed values can be influenced by the "geographical" position. In such a context it is possible to assume that the values observed in a given area are similar to those recorded in neighboring areas. Such data is frequently referred to as spatial data and they are frequently met in epidemiological, environmental and social studies, for a discussion see Haining, (1990). Spatial data can be multilevel, with samples being composed of lower level units (population, buildings) nested within higher level units (census

My dissertation consists of three essays in three different areas: international trade; agricultural markets; and nonparametric econometrics. The first and third essays are theoretical papers, while the second essay is empirical. In the first essay, I developed a political economy model of trade agreements where the set of policy instruments are endogenously determined, providing a rationale for countervailing duties (CVDs). Trade-related policy intervention is assumed to be largely shaped in response to rent seeking demand as is often shown empirically. Consequently, the uncertain circumstanc

Abstract:
Developing sound or reliable statistical models for analyzing vehicle crashes is very important in highway safety studies. A difficulty arises when crash data exhibit overdispersion. Over-dispersion caused by unobserved heterogeneity is a serious problem and has been addressed in a variety ways within the negative binomial (NB) modeling framework. However, the true factors that affect heterogeneity are often unknown to researchers, and failure to accommodate such heterogeneity in the model can undermine the validity of the empirical results.

Abstract:
In this thesis, we analyse the relationship between the hedging activities and return on equity, and the relationship between profit on hedging and other factors. Fully conditional specification is used to impute the missing values. Instrumental variable estimation and finite mixture of regression models are then used to predict the return on equity and hedging gain. We find the instrumental variable estimation is better than the OLS estimation to deal with the hedging data since it eliminates the endogeneity. By finite mixture of regression models, we show that different firms have different

Abstract:
While decision-making under uncertainty is a major universal problem, its implications in the field of transportation systems are especially enormous; where the benefits of right decisions are tremendous, the consequences of wrong ones are potentially disastrous. In the realm of highway systems, decisions related to the highway configuration (number of lanes, right of way, etc.) need to incorporate both the traffic demand and land price uncertainties. In the literature, these uncertainties have generally been modeled using the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) process, which has been used extens
