What Mean Do You Mean?
… this paper, I discuss the different types of means and how or when they would be applied. The four means include arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, and the root mean square. I go over real life examples and show the calculations of each. Along with the four means, I also found that the equation …

Spin liquids : mean field and beyond
… and emergent gauge field. In this thesis we use mean field approach and its extensions to address spin liquid states of spin-1 system which has no analogue for spin-1/2. Also, we consider impurity as a probe of spin-1 system, and spinon-phonon interactions in Dirac spin liquid. In Chapter 2, …

Uniqueness problems in mean curvature flow
We investigate uniqueness phenomena in mean curvature flow, focusing on two central problems: the behavior of the flow near singularities and the extension of the flow beyond singular times. These questions have significant applications in geometry, topology, and analysis. For the first problem, …

Mean reversion in macroeconomic and financial data
This dissertation focuses on the mean reversion in macroeconomic and financial data using nonparametric estimation method. The first essay studies the recent attempts to solve the second form of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) puzzle (usually expressed as a half-life of 3∼5 years), mostly by …

Robust mixture regression using mean-shift penalisation
… lead to inappropriate conclusions. We consider a mean-shift robust mixture regression approach to address this. This method uses a component specific mean-shift parameterisation which contributes towards both the successful identification of outliers as well as robust parameter estimation. The …

Relating diameter and mean curvature for varifolds
… a set of weight measure zero and the generalized mean curvature is locally summable to a natural power (dimension of the varifold minus one) with respect to the weight measure. The thesis presents an improved estimate of the set where the lower density is small in terms of the one dimensional …

Monitoring the Process Mean of Autocorrelated Data
… It is our interest to examine these models. Meaning is given to the process being in-control and out-of-control in terms of the parameters of the model. The performance of the Shewhart X chart and CUSUM X chart are compared. This includes determining the number of unobserved values between …

The MBA Degree - What Does It Mean?
… equipped to analyze, to integrate ends and means -- in a word, to manage other men and affairs -- not as a functionary in the ranks but most specifically, and sooner rather than later, at the top of the chain of command. His mind is keen, his ambition is endless, and his guru is Robert …

Mean-variance hedging in an illiquid market
… square replication error at maturity. This mean-variance optimal strategy is first found when the liquidly traded asset is a local martingale under the real world probability measure through an application of the Kunita-Watanabe projection onto the space of attainable claims. The result is …

What We Say When We Mean Goodbye
There are nine stories in this collection, with characters ranging from a Kraken to Amelia Earhart to Texas sisters to college boys to a larger than life woman to a thrill killer to a girl who poses nude for an art class and on. These characters are all, in one way or another, in limbo, this place …

Mean Field Analysis of Generalized Cyclic Competitions
The mean field analysis of stochastic dynamical system allows us to gain insight into the qualitative features of their complex behavior, as well as quantitative estimates of certain aspects of their coarse-grained properties. As such, it usually furnishes a first front in approaching new dynamical …

Mean Arterial Pressure in Acute Ischemic Stroke Study
… and diastolic blood pressure thresholds into the mean arterial pressure (MAP) equation, one could deduce the exclusion threshold for MAP to be > 130. Furthermore, if a MAP of 130 mmHg were to be adopted as the threshold for treatment, many patients who would otherwise be excluded, would receive …

MEAN REVERSION MODELING WITH APPLICATION IN ENERGY MARKETS
… in energy prices is that they tend to exhibit mean-reversion behavior. This thesis proposes two new models on mean-reversion patterns of energy assets: Time-invariant Wavelet-Schwartz Model and Time-Varying State Space Model. The first model is capable of describing stationary time series with …

Monthly mean vertical motions over the Pacific Ocean
It is the purpose of this paper to compare vertical velocity with satellite observed cloud distribution in the tropics, especially with (1) the intertropical maximum cloud band in the Northern Hemisphere paralleling the equator and about 5 degrees north of it throughout the year, (2) the occurrence …
