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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
VARIOGRAM MODELING FOR SPATIAL CORRELATION IN STRUCTURAL MRI IMAGES
