Abstract:

This dissertation presents an exploration of the use of nonparametric statistical methods based on ranks for use in financial market research. Applications to event study methodology and the estimation of security systematic risk are analyzed using a simulation methodology with actual daily security return data. The results indicate that procedures based on ranks are more efficient than normal theory procedures currently in common use.

Abstract:

Medical research is often weakened by poor statistical practice, and inappropriate use of statistical computer software is part of this problem. The statistical knowledge that medical researchers require has traditionally been gained in both dedicated and ad hoc learning time, often separate from the research processes in which the statistical methods are applied. Computer software, however, can be written to flexibly support statistical practice. The work of this thesis was to explore the possibility of, and if possible, to create, a resource supporting medical researchers in statistical know

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between statistics self-efficacy, statistics anxiety, and performance in introductory graduate statistics courses. The study design compared two statistics self-efficacy measures developed by Finney and Schraw (2003), a statistics anxiety measure developed by Cruise and Wilkins (1980), and a course performance measure. To view self-efficacy from two perspectives, the Current Statistics Self-Efficacy (CSSE) assessed student confidence in their ability to complete specific statistics tasks in the present, whereas Self-Efficacy to Lear

Abstract:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) advocates that expected return has a linear proportional relationship with beta (and subsequently volatility). As such, the higher the systematic risk of a security the higher the CAPM expected return. However, empirical results have hardly supported this view as argued as early as Black (1972). Instead, an anomaly has been evidenced across a multitude of developed and emerging markets, where portfolios constructed to have lower volatility have outperformed their higher volatility counterparts as found by Baker and Haugen (2012).

The ideal estimation method needs to fulfill three requirements: (i) efficient computation, (ii) statistical efficiency, and (iii) numerical stability. The classical stochastic approximation of (Robbins, 1951) is an iterative estimation method, where the current iterate (parameter estimate) is updated according to some discrepancy between what is observed and what is expected assuming the current iterate has the true parameter value. Classical stochastic approximation undoubtedly meets the computation requirement, which explains its widespread popularity, for example, in modern applications of

Many tools exist to assist law enforcement agencies in mitigating criminal activity. For centuries, academics used statistics in the study of crime and criminals, and more recently, police departments make use of spatial statistics and geographic information systems in that pursuit. Clustering and hot spot methods of analysis are popular in this application for their relative simplicity of interpretation and ease of process. With recent advancements in geospatial technology, it is easier than ever to publicly share data through visual communication tools like web applications and dashboards. S

The role of heuristics in combinatorial optimization is discussed. Published heuristics for the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) were reviewed and morphological boxes were used to develop new heuristics for the TSP. New and published heuristics were programmed for symmetric TSPs where the triangle inequality holds, and were tested on micro computer. The best of the quickest heuristics was the furthest insertion heuristic, finding tours 3 to 9% above the best known solutions (2 minutes for 100 nodes). Better results were found by longer running heuristics, e.g. the cheapest angle heuristic (CC

The central theme of this thesis is to investigate the use of non-parametric methods for making inferences about a random sample with an unknown distribution function. The overarching aim is the development of new methods to make inferences regarding the nature of the unknown distribution to enhance medical research. Initially,the focus is exclusively on the asymmetry of a random variable. In particular, a recently proposed measure of asymmetry provides the foundation for the proposal and development of a new test for symmetry. The potential applications of the test and measure are applied to

Data sets from research in clinical practice professions often do not meet assumptions necessary for appropriate use of parametric statistics (Lezak and Gray, 1984). When assumptions underlying the use of the parametric tests are violated or cannot be documented, the power of the parametric test may be invalidated and consequently, the significance levels inaccurate (Gibbons, 1976). Much research has investigated the relative merits of parametric versus nonparametric procedures using simulation studies, but little has been done using actual data sets from a particular discipline.
