ON VARIABLE SELECTION WITH THE PRESENCE OF MISSING DATA IN LONGITUDINAL PANEL STUDIES
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Longitudinal data are valuable in various disciplines because they provide helpful developmental patterns over time. However, frequently, it is challenging to have a high dimension of covariates and ubiquitous missing ... -
LINEAR AND BAYESIAN ESTIMATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE TYPE II GENERALIZED LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION BASED ON PROGRESSIVELY TYPE II CENSORED DATA
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Generalized distributions have become widely used in applications recently. They are very flexible in data analysis, especially with skewed models that are important and occur frequently in many applications. In particular, ... -
VARIOGRAM MODELING FOR SPATIAL CORRELATION IN STRUCTURAL MRI IMAGES
(06-2 , Master Thesis)In recent years neuroimaging techniques growth help us to understand the working of the human brain by using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Structural MRIs ... -
NON-DETERMINISTIC MODELING USING QUANTILE REGRESSION
(06-2 , Master Thesis)In this thesis, we utilize quantile regression to model the conditional quantile of the dependent variable given independent variables to capture more details about the conditional distribution. In addition, we apply the ... -
PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC PORTMANTEAU TESTS FOR LACK OF FIT IN TIME SERIES MODELS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Several diagnostic tests for the lack of fit time series models have been introduced using parametric and nonparametric portmanteau tests. Some tests have been proposed based on the asymptotic distributions. Others are ... -
IMPROVED INFERENCE FOR THE SCALE PARAMETER IN THE LOMAX DISTRIBUTION BASED ON ADJUSTED PROFILE LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS
(06-2 , Master Thesis)In this thesis, we consider improving maximum likelihood inference for the scale parameter of the Lomax distribution. The improvement is based on using modification to the maximum likelihood estimator based on Barndorff-Nielsen's ... -
GENERALIZING THE POINT BISERIAL TO MEASURE THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN A SET OF DICHOTOMOUS VARIABLES AND A CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
(2022 , Master Thesis)Exploring the statistical association between more than two variables requires utilizing a proper technique/test along with meeting its required assumptions. Measures of correlation are used to explain such associations ... -
FACTORS AFFECTING ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE SELECTION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF 12TH GRADE STUDENTS IN QATAR
(2022 , Professional Masters Project)COVID-19 pandemic has led to the lockdown of major cities worldwide, which caused the early closure of schools and educational institutions in the towns affected. This pandemic had a negative impact on the performance of ... -
COMPETING RISKS MODEL BASED ON FINE AND GRAY IN PRESENCE OF INTERVAL CENSORED DATA
(2022 , Master Thesis)Generally, survival analysis is a significant aspect of statistics that helps in anticipating possible outcomes in the various phenomena of study. A competing risk model is widely used in survival analysis since it not ... -
Likelihood Inference for Step Stress Partially Accelerated Life Test Model with Type I Progressively Hybrid Censored Data from Generalized Exponential Distribution
(2021 , Master Thesis)This thesis considers the statistical inference on the generalized exponential distribution parameters in presence of progressive Type-I censoring under partially accelerated life test. The maximum likelihood method ... -
