Three Papers on Public Schools and Political Participation Among Americans of Color
… in schools. Using observational analysis of longitudinal datasets, I examine the relationship between public schools and political participation among students of color. My research highlights the important fact that public schools can influence both the resources students of color have later …

Uneven Policing: Low-Level Arrests During Gentrification, Fiscal Crisis, and Suburbanization
… address these questions, I assemble three novel, longitudinal datasets using publicly available government data. I convey descriptive statistics in graphs, tables, and maps and I construct multivariate regression models to estimate the relationships between policing and place. I build on past …

Parental death and schooling outcomes in South Africa
… geographically and socioeconomically distinct longitudinal datasets to investigate whether parental death effects are causal. My evidence is consistent with mother's deaths having a causal effect on children's schooling. Thirdly, I exploit the longitudinal data to investigate the extent to …

Economic mobility in South Africa: evidence from household survey data
… addressing these questions has used micro datasets to compare snapshots of welfare over time. Although these studies are both interesting and useful, they have been unable to extend their analysis into a nationally-representative dynamic setting, due to the lack of available data. The …

Drivers of variation in the migration and foraging strategies of pelagic seabirds
… In this thesis, I utilise multi-species and longitudinal datasets from albatrosses and petrels, some of the most mobile species on Earth, to explore the drivers of variation in movements, habitat use and foraging behaviour, and the implications for life history and conservation. In Chapter 1, …

Machine learning to model health with multimodal mobile sensor data
… wearables has led to the accumulation of rich datasets, which could aid the understanding of behavior and health in unprecedented detail. At the same time, machine learning and specifically deep learning have reached impressive performance in a variety of prediction tasks, but their use on …

Does the Karoo population of Martial Eagles (Polemaetus bellicosus) have the potential to buffer the species? national decline?
… from declines seen elsewhere. We used two longitudinal datasets: three years of detailed breeding data from 47 territories, collected through twice-yearly aerial surveys and quarterly on-the-ground monitoring (representing 137 breeding pair years); and tracking data from 19 birds …

Assessment of cognitive ageing: Applying generalisability theory, Rasch and network analyses to establish reliability and validity of measures
… Overall, this thesis involved analyses of three longitudinal datasets, totalling 2705 participants. The reported findings enhanced reliability and validity of widely used assessment tools for older adults and contributed to better understanding of cognitive ageing processes.

The distinct contributions of cardiovascular risk factors to cognitive ageing
… I outline ideas to validate the framework in longitudinal datasets. Overall, I propose that managing pulse pressure may help to preserve cognition, particularly in older adults.

Reconceptualising the role of schooling in intergenerational social mobility: Patterns, perspectives and experiences from rural Pakistan
… during 1947-2010; (b) a statistical analysis of longitudinal datasets of rural households (1986-2014) using mobility metrics, ordered logistic regression, OLS regression and Fixed Effect models to track the patterns of intergenerational educational mobility and its role in social mobility; and, …
