Genomewide Selection in Apple: Prediction and Postdiction in the University of Minnesota Apple Breeding Program
… fruit traits by testing an additive prediction model, a model fitting heterozygote effects, and a model fitting fixed effects for major QTL. The second aim of this research was to assess the utility of genomewide selection for fruit traits in the University of Minnesota apple breeding program. …

Essays on Human Capital and Education Policy
… and examine U.S. educational attainment using models from the macroeconomics and structural labor economics toolbox. This enables us to disentangle the effects of higher education policy on aggregate human capital accumulation that arise due to effects that would be difficult to see using a …

Essays on misspecified models
… 1, ”Robust Inference for Instrumental Variable Models with Locally Non-exogenous Instruments”, highlights that conventional tests often fail to give accurate inferences when exogeneity conditions are mildly violated in instrumental variable models. The sizes of those tests can be considerably …

Magellan: A Risk-bounded Plan Executive for Autonomous Mobile Agents
… These dynamics are complicated by their non-linearity. Most state-of-the-art methods require a simple closed-form dynamics model to verify plan correctness and safety; however, modern robotic systems often have dynamics modeled by a complex analytical form that is learned from data, such as a …

Raman Chemometric Method for Fuel Property Prediction
… estimates of generalization. Two complementary modeling approaches were pursued. The first is a direct mapping from spectra to DCN using supervised machine learning (ML) models. Out of the many ML approaches investigated on three different subsets of the Raman spectral range, artificial neural …
