On estimation and goodness-of-fit testing for the Pareto distribution
The Pareto distributions are a class of distributions containing several members with varying levels of flexibility. Two of these members, the Pareto Type I and the Lomax distributions, are of particular interest in this thesis. The Pareto Type I distribution is a popular choice of model in many …

Parameter uncertainty in nonpoint source pollution modeling
The inherently non-deterministic nature of inputs in nonpoint source (NPS) pollution modeling and the lack of information in many cases results in considerable uncertainty in model input parameters, and therefore, model outputs. Uncertainty in input parameters has important implications for model …

Inference for Parametric Empirical Processes
… test statistics. Chapter 1 illustrates the use of supremum-norm statistics for inference in simple parametric modeling situations. The estimation of parameters alters the distribution of commonly-used test statistics, but methods are explored that accommodate these differences using …

Stochastic Analysis Of Storm-Surge Induced Infrastructure Losses In New York City
Hurricanes are among the most catastrophic types of natural hazards, with the potential to cause serious losses in lives and property. While hurricanes rarely have a huge impact on the New York City area, they do have the potential to cause major damage to the city's transportation infrastructure. …

Assessing the Relationship Between Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Generated QTc Alerts and Cancer Patient Mortality
… their annual frequency has outgrown the number of unique patient visits at our institution. Anecdotally, they are largely ignored by providers, contributing to provider cognitive burnout and alert fatigue. While they may be considered nuisance alerts, the EMR collects rich data on the …
