A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach to the generalized graded unfolding model estimation: the future of non-cognitive measurement
… proposed in the literature, the only model with estimation software available to the public is the generalized graded unfolding item response model (GGUM) and its corresponding software GGUM2004. However, this software sometimes encounters problems due to the marginal maximum likelihood (MML) …

Sustainability Strategies in Supply Chain Management
… and literature of strategic sustainable supply chain management by examining its four aspects: measure, manage, mitigate, and market. The purpose of this dissertation is to utilize a multi-method approach and multiple secondary data sources to examine sustainable supply chain management from a …

Exploring nonlinear regression methods, with application to association studies
… methods will fail. Sparse Partitioning relies on Markov chain Monte Carlo estimation, which limits the size of problem on which it can be used. Therefore, in Chapter 5, I propose a deterministic version of the method which, although less powerful, is not affected by convergence issues. In Chapter …

Optimizing wastewater treatment sampling strategies through Markov Chain Monte Carlo Bayesian inference in Activated Sludge Model No. 3
… remains constrained by challenges in parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification under realistic monitoring conditions. This thesis develops a comprehensive Bayesian inference framework for Activated Sludge Model No. 3 that integrates sensitivity screening, identifiability diagnostics, …

A Dynamic Space-Time Panel Data Model of State-Level Beer Consumption
A dynamic space-time panel data model containing random effects is used to examine state-level beer consumption over the period of 1970 to 2007 for the 48 contiguous US states and the District of Columbia. A valuable aspect of dynamic space-time panel data models is that the parameter estimates …
