Abstract:

This thesis shows highly encouraging results as the gain of accuracy reached 18.4% when the pairwise comparisons method was used instead of the direct method for comparing random shapes. The thesis describes a heuristic for generating random but nice shapes, called placated shapes. Random, but visually nice shapes, are often needed for cognitive experiments and processes. These shapes are produced by applying the Gaussian blur to randomly generated polygons. Afterwards, the threshold is set to transform pixels to black and white from di erent shades of gray. This transformation produces placat

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:It is difficult to accurately interpret chromosomal correspondences such as true orthology and paralogy due to significant divergence of genomes from a common ancestor. Analyses are particularly problematic among lineages that have repeatedly experienced whole genome duplication (WGD) events. To compare multiple "subgenomes" derived from genome duplications, we need to relax the traditional requirements of "one-to-one" syntenic matchings of genomic regions in order to reflect "one-to-many" or more generally "many-to-many" matchings. However this relaxation may result in the identifi

Abstract:

Decision making is an essential activity for humans and often becomes complex in the presence of uncertainty or insufficient knowledge. This research aims at estimating preferences using pairwise comparisons. A decision maker uses pairwise comparison when he/she is unable to directly assign criteria weights or scores to the available options. The judgments provided in pairwise comparisons may not always be consistent for several reasons. Experimentation has been used to obtain statistical evidence related to the widely-used consistency measures. The results highlight the need to propose new co

Abstract:

The basic problem of decision making is to choose the best alternative from a set of competing alternatives that are evaluated under conflicting criteria. In general, the process is to evaluate decision elements by quantifying the subjective judgments. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides us with a comprehensive framework for solving such problems. As pointed out by Saaty, AHP "enables us to cope with the intuitive, the rational, and the irrational, all at the same time, when we make multicriteria and multiactor decisions". Furthermore, in most organizations decisions are made collect

Abstract:

For many decisions validation of their outcomes is invariably problematic to objectively assess. Therefore to aid analysis and validation of decision outcomes, approaches which provide improved traceability and more semantically meaningful measurements of the decision process are required. Hence, this research investigates traceability, transparency, interactivity and auditability to improve the decision making process. Approaches and evaluation measures are proposed to facilitate a richer decision making experience. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) seeks to determine the suitability of

Abstract:

Discrepancy measures are often employed in problems involving the selection and assessment of statistical models. A discrepancy gauges the separation between a fitted candidate model and the underlying generating model. In this work, we consider pairwise comparisons of fitted models based on a probabilistic evaluation of the ordering of the constituent discrepancies. An estimator of the probability is derived using the bootstrap. In the framework of hypothesis testing, nested models are often compared on the basis of the p-value. Specifically, the simpler null model is favored unless the p-val

One of the major challenges in the field of Artificial Intelligence is dealing with uncertainty. Finding the optimal solution in the presence of uncertainty is computationally quite costly. This makes it impossible to solve large problems. In this thesis, we propose a new heuristic, named the pairwise heuristic, which efficiently finds a near-optimal solution for such problems. The pairwise heuristic is based on optimal solutions for the pairs of states. For each pair, it solves the problem assuming that the uncertainty exists only between the two states of the pair.

In Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) applied to structures, displacements at which the tangent stiffness matrix KT becomes singular are called critical points, and correspond to instabilities such as buckling or elastoplastic softening (e.g., necking).

The original ALM was shown to be capable in some circumstances of continued computation at critical points, but limit

Soil microbial communities are affected extensively by addition of amendments to their environment. Of particular concern is the addition of poultry litter, which contains a substantial C, energy, and nutrient supply, but also antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), antimicrobials, and a multitude of microbial species. This project seeks to primarily assess if there is a change in bacterial community structure in response to poultry litter amendments to pasture land across geographically independent land across northern Georgia. It may be that changes in the relative abundance of bacterial communit

Abstract:

Statistics<br>Ph.D.<br>The main research topic in this dissertation is the development of the closure method of multiple testing procedures. Considering a general procedure that allows the underlying test statistics as well as the associated parameters to be dependent, we first propose a step-down procedure controlling the FWER, which is defined as the probability of committing at least one false discovery. Holm (1979) first proposed a step-down procedure for multiple hypothesis testing with a control of the familywise error rate (FWER) under any kind of dependence. Under the normal distribut

Abstract:

Decision makers have long relied on experts to inform their decision making. Expert judgment analysis is a way to elicit and combine the opinions of a group of experts to facilitate decision making. The use of expert judgment is most appropriate when there is a lack of data for obtaining reasonable statistical results. The experts are asked for advice by one or more decision makers who face a specific real decision problem. The decision makers are outside the group of experts and are jointly responsible and accountable for the decision and committed to finding solutions that everyone can live

Abstract:

Dans les essais randomisés conduits en oncologie médicale, l'effet des traitements est le plus souvent évalué sur plusieurs critères de jugement, dont un ou plusieurs critères de type temps jusqu'à événement. Une analyse globale de l'effet d'un traitement intègre les résultats observés sur l'ensemble des critères de jugement pertinent. Un des objectifs de notre travail était de réaliser une revue systématique de la littérature évaluant les méthodes de recueil, d'analyse et de rapport des événements indésirables et des critères de jugement rapportés par les patients dans les essais de phase III

Abstract:

Measuring urinary tobacco specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) and its glucuronide conjugate may provide the best biomarker of tobacco smoke lung carcinogen metabolism. Existence of differences in the extent of NNAL metabolism rates may be potentially related to an individuals’ lung cancer susceptibility. Low concentrations of NNAL in smokers urine (<1 ng/mL) require sensitive and selective methods for analysis. Traditionally, this involves extensive, time-consuming sample preparation that limits throughput and adds to measurement variability. Molecularly i

The aim of this thesis is to assess the extent to which it is levied on the usual price of houses affected by the location in the district Náchod. The theoretical part explains the basic concepts and issues in the field of valuation of real property, especially houses. There are described the most common methods used for valuation of immovable property. The practical part focuses on the description and awards selected six houses using a cost comparison method according to the decree and comparative non-regulation method. It also includes the valuation of land in a single functional unit. Acqui

Abstract:

This thesis aims to explain the basic characteristics of valuation method in practice use. The first chapter is about basic character of each method of valuation and factors which influence its applicability. The second chapter mentions estimation of market value/appraisal, includes affecting factors. Then, the third and fourth parts aim to comparing these appraisals (market. vs. price bargaining, subjective and objective, complex appraisal) and price formation for price bargaining in the Czech a EU market. Chain of model facets in appraisal is demonstrated by fair example in the fifth part. M
