Abstract:
This thesis deals with the problem of estimating the probability of failure of a system from computer simulations. When only an expensive-to-simulate model of the system is available, the budget for simulations is usually severely limited, which is incompatible with the use of classical Monte Carlo methods. In fact, estimating a small probability of failure with very few simulations, as required in some complex industrial problems, is a particularly difficult topic. A classical approach consists in replacing the expensive-to-simulate model with a surrogate model that will use little computer r

Cette thèse étudie la distorsion de probabilité dans le jugement clinique afin de comparer le jugement des médecins à des modèles statistiques.

Dans ce cadre, les médecins peuvent souffrir de plusieurs biais dans la façon dont ils évaluent et intègrent les deux composantes.

Abstract:
The enormous increase of exposure to toxic materials and hazardous chemicals in recent years is a major concern due to the adverse effect resulting from such exposure on human health specifically and all organisms in general. Among the major concerns of toxicologists is to determine an acceptable level(s) of exposure to such hazardous substance(s). Current approaches often evaluate each endpoint and stressor individually. Herein we propose two novel approaches to simultaneously determine the Benchmark Dose Tolerable Region (BMDTR) for multiple endpoints and multiple stressors studies when stre

Abstract:
Batch effects are due to probe-specific systematic variation between groups of samples (batches) resulting from experimental features that are not of biological interest. Principal components analysis (PCA) is commonly used as a visual tool to determine whether batch effects exist after applying a global normalization method. However, PCA yields linear combinations of the variables that contribute maximum variance and thus will not necessarily detect batch effects if they are not the largest source of variability in the data. We present an extension of principal components analysis to quantify

Abstract:
Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) have broad applications in constructing computer experiments and sampling for Monte-Carlo integration due to its nice property of having projections evenly distributed on the univariate distribution of each input variable. The LHDs have been combined with some commonly used computer experimental design criteria to achieve enhanced design performance. For example, the Maximin-LHDs were developed to improve its space-filling property in the full dimension of all input variables. The MaxPro-LHDs were proposed in recent years to obtain nicer projections in any subspa

Abstract:
The success of screening experiments hinges on the effect sparsity assumption, which states that only a few of the factorial effects of interest actually have an impact on the system being investigated. The development of a screening methodology to harness this assumption requires careful consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of a proposed experimental design in addition to the ability of an analysis procedure to properly detect the major influences on the response. However, for the most part, screening designs and their complementing analysis procedures have been proposed separately i

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the use of technology on students’ mathematics achievement, particularly the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) mathematics results. Eleven schools within the Miami-Dade County Public School System participated in a pilot program on the use of Geometers Sketchpad (GSP). Three of these schools were randomly selected for this study. Each school sent a teacher to a summer in-service training program on how to use GSP to teach geometry. In each school, the GSP class and a traditional geometry class taught by the same teacher were th

Abstract:
El concepto de dependencia aparece por todas partes en nuestra tierra y sus habitantes de manera profunda. Son innumerables los ejemplos de fenómenos interdependientes en la naturaleza, así como en aspectos médicos, sociales, políticos, económicos, entre otros. Más aún, la dependencia es obviamente no determinística, sino de naturaleza estocástica. Es por lo anterior que resulta sorprendente que conceptos y medidas de dependencia no hayan recibido suficiente atención en la literatura estadística. Al menos hasta 1966, cuando el trabajo pionero de E.L. Lehmann probó el lema de Hoeffding. Desde e

Abstract:
No<br>River morphological processes are among the most complex and least understood phenomenon in nature. Recent research indicates that the braiding of marine waterways of the estuary zone occurs at an aspect ratio similar to the alluvial braided river. The instability of complex sporadic fluvial processes at river-sea interface is responsible for bar formation in alluvial as well as in marine waterbodies Due to the lack of knowledge of flow characteristics around bar, the flow structure around the sand bar is analyzed. The bursting events play the crucial role in understanding the fluvial ch

Abstract:
Comparative experiments, in which subjects are randomized to one of two treatments, are performed often. There is no shortage of papers testing whether a treatment effect exists and providing confidence intervals for the magnitude of this effect. While it is well understood that the object and scope of inference for an experiment will depend on what assumptions are made, these entities are not always clearly presented. We have proposed one possible method, which is based on the ideas of Jerzy Neyman, that can be used for constructing confidence intervals in a comparative experiment. The result

Abstract:
Within statistical methods, design of experiments (DOE) is well suited to make good inference from a minimal amount of data. Two types of designs within DOE are screening designs and optimization designs. Traditionally, these approaches have been necessarily separated by a gap between the objectives of each design and the methods available. Despite being so separated, in practice these designs are frequently connected by sequential experimentation. In fact, from the genesis of a project, the experimentor often knows that both designs will be necessary to accomplish his objectives. Due to advan

Full text
Abstract:
Multiphase flows are of great interest to a large variety of industries because flows of two or more immiscible liquids are encountered in a diverse range of processes and equipment. However, the advent of high viscosity oil requires more investigations to enhance good design of transportation system and forestall its inherent production difficulties. Experimental and numerical studies were conducted on water-sand, oil-water and oilwater- sand respectively in 1-in ID 5m long horizontal pipe. The densities of CYL680 and CYL1000 oils employed are 917 and 916.2kg/m3 while their viscosities are 1.

Abstract:
This essay covers a designed experiment on paperboard where the quality under study is tear strength alongside and across. The objective is to examine what consequences the loss of balance in a designed experiment has on the explanatory power of the proposed empirical model. As did happen, the trial plan didn’t go as planned when the first run caused a disruption of the paperboard in the machine. Decision from the company was to raise the low level of one of the design factors to prevent this from happening again. The consequence of this is an alteration of the design during ongoing experiment

In 1993, a travel study was conducted along the Wasatch front in Utah (Research Systems Group INC, 2013). The main purpose of this study was to assess travel behavior to understand the needs for future growth in Utah. Since then, the Research Service Group (RSG), conducted a new study in 2012 to understand current travel preferences in Utah. This survey, called the Residential Choice Stated Preference survey, asked respondents to make ten choice comparisons between two hypothetical homes. Each home in the choice comparison was described by different attributes, those attributes that were used
