A Statistical Approach to Facial Identification
This thesis describes the development of statistical methods for facial identification. The objective is to provide a technique which can provide answers based on probabilities to the question of whether two images of a face are from the same person or whether there could be two different people …

A statistical approach to sports betting
… that must be considered when attempting to fit a statistical model to any of these betting markets. These are introduced in the early stages of this thesis along with some previously suggested solutions. Among these, for example, is the importance of obtaining estimates of team characteristics …

A statistical approach to urban stormwater detention planning
A statistical model has been developed to study the long-term behaviour of a stormwater detention unit. This unit stores a portion of the incoming runoff, corresponding to the empty space available in the unit, from which runoff is pumped to a treatment plant. The objective is to avoid, as much as …

A Statistical Approach to Automatic Process Control (regulation schemes)
… opportunity to utilise technologies from both statistical process control (SPC) and APC. A presentation of the application of techniques from both SPC and APC is made in an approach to control the quality of a product (product variability) at the output. The thesis considers the issues of …

A Statistical Approach to Visual Masking and Spatial Attention
… Here, we modeled visual masking by using a statistical framework, and used this theoretical framework along with psychophysical experiments to determine whether and how masking and attention interact. In a psychophysical experiment, observers were asked to report the orientation of a target …

A study of the statistical approach to wind loading
… An outline of the theoretical basis of the approach is given and the effect of varying wind and structural parameters for a range of different structures is examined. To put the study in context, a brief look is taken at the problems of formulating a more consistent approach to the overall …

A statistical approach to predicting snowfall using the SPF
… is introduced that uses an alternate method of statistical analysis in predicting snowfall by using concepts of normal probability distributions. The snowfall potential function (hereby referred to as the SPF) assumes certain identifiers are associated with snowfall of varying intensities. The …

A Statistical Approach to Modeling Wheel-Rail Contact Dynamics
… the railroad industry are evaluated by applying statistical methods to the large volume of data that is collected on the VT-FRA state-of-the-art roller rig. The intent is to use the statistical principles to highlight the relative importance of various factors that exist in practice to …

A statistical approach towards performance analysis of multimodal biometrics systems
… This thesis investigates the application of statistical methods in performance analysis of multimodal biometric systems. It develops an efficient and systematic approach to evaluate system performance in different situations of noise influences. Using this approach, 126 experiments are …

A statistical approach for shadow detection using spatio-temporal contexts
Background subtraction is an important step used to segment moving regions in surveillance videos. However, cast shadows are often falsely labeled as foreground objects, which may severely degrade the accuracy of object localization and detection. Effective shadow detection is necessary for …

A statistical approach to assess the efficiency of bioremediation methods
… biotreatment is considered to be effective. This approach clearly ignores the inherent sampling variability. In this study, I will consider two approaches to the above problem: (1) Confidence Interval Estimation of the percent Reduction; (2) A Hypothesis Testing Formulation of the above problem. …

A multivariate statistical approach to the assessment of nutrition status
… four racial groups, the study aims to identify statistically, both those variables which are unrelated to nutrition status and also those which, although related, are so highly correlated that the measurement of all would be an unnecessary extravagance. It is found that, while the somatometric …

Habit Formation and Political Persuasion: A Behavioral and Statistical Approach
… perspectives from behavioral science and statistical analysis. The central focus of this study revolves around the analysis of repetitive behavior in various scenarios including shopping, social media use, and news sharing. The initial study investigates the influence of habits on the …
