Abstract:

Ranking is one of the most used methods in not only in statistics but also in other field such as computer science and psychology. This method helps us determine order of objects in a group such as preference of animal species, and has very broad applications. However, when the number of objects to be ranked becomes larger, the uncertainty of the ranking typically increases since it is harder for the ranker to express their preference accurately. This leads to the idea of partial ranking which allows rankers to rank just a subset of objects in the group and then combine their results together

Abstract:

Many applications of analysis of ranking data arise from different fields of study, such as psychology, economics, and politics. Over the past decade, many ranking data models have been proposed. AdaBoost is proved to be a very successful technique to generate a stronger classifier from weak ones; it can be viewed as a forward stagewise additive modeling using the exponential loss function. Motivated by this, a new AdaBoost algorithm is developed for ranking data. Taking into consideration the ordinal structure of the ranking data, I propose measures based on the Spearman/Kendall distance to e

Abstract:

Analyzing ranking data is an essential component in a wide range of important applications including web-search and recommendation systems. Rankings are difficult to visualize or model due to the computational difficulties associated with the large number of items. On the other hand, partial or incomplete rankings induce more difficulties since approaches that adapt well to typical types of rankings cannot apply generally to all types. While analyzing ranking data has a long history in statistics, construction of an efficient framework to analyze incomplete ranking data (with or without ties)

Ranking queries and similarity queries are elementary operations with many important applications. There are lots of research works investigating efficient evaluation of various ranking and similarity queries in databases over the past few decades.

Efficient and effective solutions are proposed to solve their related applications. First, the evaluation of ranking queries on multidimensional cubes is studied. In exploratory data analysis,

Abstract:

Ranking and Selection procedures have been designed to select the best system from a number of alternatives, where the best system is defined by the given problem. The primary focus of this thesis is on experiments where the data are from simulated systems. In simulation ranking and selection procedures, four classes of comparison problems are typically encountered. We focus on two of them: Bernoulli and multinomial selection. Therefore, we wish to select the best system from a number of simulated alternatives where the best system is defined as either the one with the largest probability of s

DNA microarrays have been used for the purpose of monitoring expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously and identifying those genes that are differentially expressed. One of the major goals of microarray data analysis is the detection of differentially expressed genes across two kinds of tissue samples or samples obtained under two experimental conditions. A large number of gene detection methods have been developed and most of them are based on statistical analysis. However the statistical analysis methods have the limitations due to the small sample size and unknown distribution

Abstract:

In this study two different hybrid ranking approaches based on data envelopment analysis and outranking relations for ranking alternatives are proposed. Outranking relations are widely used in Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) for ranking the alternatives and appropriate in situations when we have limited information on the preference structure of the decision maker. Yet to apply these methods DM should provide exact values for method parameters (weights, thresholds etc.) as well as basic information such as alternative scores.

Abstract:

Dealing with big data, this thesis presents a novel and effective approach of scalable document clustering via ranking. The proposed clustering methods address the high-dimensionality problem in clustering analysis by introducing effective and computationally efficient cluster representations. The clustering via ranking approach is applicable to semi-supervised and unsupervised clustering problems. The proposed methods are applicable to static data as well as streaming data. The methods have been successfully tested with big social media data providing interesting insight.

A term weighting scheme measures the importance of a term in a collection. A document ranking model uses these term weights to find the rank or score of a document in a collection. We present a series of cluster-based term weighting and document ranking models based on the TF-IDF and Okapi BM25 models. These term weighting and document ranking models update the inter-cluster and intra-cluster frequency components based on the generated clusters. These inter-cluster and intra-cluster frequency components are used for weighting the importance of a term in addition to the term and document freque

Tree-ring chronologies are widely used to reconstruct high-to low-frequency variations in growing season temperatures over centuries to millennia.

Those characteristics are (i) data homogeneity, (ii) sample replication, (iii) growth coherence, (iv) chronology development, and (v) climate signal includ
