Missing Data in Clinical Trials - A Practical Guide

Collecting, analysing and drawing inferences from data is central to research in the medical and social sciences. Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to collect all the intended data. The literature on inference from the resulting incomplete data is now huge, and continues to grow both as methods are developed for large and complex data structures, and as increasing computer power and suitable software enable researchers to apply these methods. This book focuses on a particular statistical method for analysing and drawing inferences from incomplete data, called Multiple Imputation (MI). MI is attractive because it is both practical and widely applicable. The authors aim is to clarify the issues raised by missing data, describing the rationale for MI, the relationship between the various imputation models and associated algorithms and its application to increasingly complex data structures. Multiple Imputation and its Application: Discusses the issues raised by the analysis of partially observed data, and the assumptions on which analyses rest. Presents a practical guide to the issues to consider when analysing incomplete data from both observational studies and randomized trials. Provides a detailed discussion of the practical use of MI with real-world examples drawn from medical and social statistics. Explores handling non-linear relationships and interactions with multiple imputation, survival analysis, multilevel multiple imputation, sensitivity analysis via multiple imputation, using non-response weights with multiple imputation and doubly robust multiple imputation. Multiple Imputation and its Application is aimed at quantitative researchers and students in the medical and social sciences with the aim of clarifying the issues raised by the analysis of incomplete data data, outlining the rationale for MI and describing how to consider and address the issues that arise in its application.
Interpreting Students' Interpretations of Research

This article examines the role of random sampling and random assignment in the interpretation of research results. Students and faculty were asked two multiple-choice questions about research methods. When questioned about the role of random sampling, 75% of all subjects correctly associated it with generality inference (generalizability). When asked about the role of random assignment, however, only 27% of all subjects correctly associated it with causal inference. The remaining subjects allocated at least some part of the role of random assignment to generalizability. We suggest that these findings reflect a bias in psychologists' training due to teaching a statistical model that stresses random sampling and generality inference. We discuss the random assignment model, which focuses on causal inference, and recommend that both models be taught in introductory methods and statistics courses.
Uniform and Multi-Grid Modeling of Acoustic Wave Propagation With Cellular Automaton Techniques

Abstract : The Cellular Automaton (CA) method is an alternative computational technique used in understanding the behavioral response of dynamic systems. It allows great flexibility in the application of various types of boundary conditions. As such, this method is used in developing an alternative propagation model for ocean acoustics. The modeling scheme creates a profile of propagation losses versus range, in an acoustic medium. Moreover, the chosen complex boundary conditions, which are not easily modeled by ordinary numerical techniques, are shown to perform with remarkable ease with CA methods. Accordingly, like any other modeling method, the computational time increases when a refined solution is desired. As such, an alternative multi-grid modeling scheme is shown to increase the performance time of the CA method significantly. This improvement is dependent upon the total number of global grid points inside the multi-grid domain. The end result show a multi-grid, with fewer nodal points, producing accurate results that replicate a uniform grid, which utilizes a larger quantity of nodal points.

Long-range stereo visual odometry for unmanned aerial vehicles

This thesis explored the utility of long-range stereo visual odometry for application on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Novel parameterisations and initialisation routines were developed for the long-range case of stereo visual odometry and new optimisation techniques were implemented to improve the robustness of visual odometry in this difficult scenario. In doing so, the applications of stereo visual odometry were expanded and shown to perform adequately in situations that were previously unworkable.
An Exploratory Study on Authorship Verification Models for Forensic Purpose

Authorship verification is one subfield of authorship analysis. However, the majority of the research in the field of authorship analysis is on the authorship identification problem. The authorship verification problem has received less attention than the authorship identification problem. Thus, there is a demand for a study on the authorship verification problem. The authorship verification problem of digital documents is becoming increasingly important as the criminals or terrorist organizations take advantage of the anonymity of the cyberspace to avoid being punished. Thus, it is critical for forensic linguistic experts to come up with effective methods to verify a short text written by a suspect. This master thesis project provides an exploratory study on the authorship verification models to solve the authorship verification problem. The research problem is as follows: Given a few texts (around 1000 words each) of one author, determine whether the text in dispute is written by the same author. The primary objective of this research is to design several innovative authorship verification models to solve the problem described above. A second goal of this research is to participate in the PAN Contest 2013 in the task of authorship verification. This thesis project explores extensively the possibilities of using compression features to solve the authorship verification. Both one-class classification models and two-class classification models are designed in this project. In a one-class classification model, there is only target class, and the decision is based on a predefined rule. In a two-class classification model, there are both target class and outlier class, and the threshold is decided by learning the boundary between the two classes. In total five models have been designed and evaluated, four of which use compression features. Character N-Gram Model is designed in this research to make a comparison of character-grams and compression features. The initial task of this project is the data collection. In order to participate in the PAN Contest, similar data (engineering textbooks from bookboon.com) were collected. In total 72 books written by 51 authors are in the collected corpus. The Book Collection Corpus was derived from the collected book and was used to develop the models. Additionally, an Enron Email Corpus was used to test the performance of one authorship verification model. As a result, the models designed received desirable performances and have shown potential to solve other similar problems.
Business Students' Learning Engagement as a Function of Reading Assigned E-Textbooks

In this chapter we report findings from a quantitative and qualitative pilot study of students from a single university setting in the northeastern United States. The majority of participants were enrolled in either face-to-face or online sections of a business course in organizational behavior, and the textbook modality included both open (PDF) and proprietary (CourseSmart) digital formats. The key research questions focus on the degree to which students feel satisfied with electronic textbooks (e-textbooks). We also explore correlates of students’ satisfaction and their positive attitudes regarding the functionality of the use of e-textbooks by examining the impact of prior coursework and students’ concurrent use of other Internet sites, e.g., social media networks, while reading e-textbooks. Specifically, we explore the extent to which students’ positive attitudes toward the functionality of e-textbook use is sufficient to result in students’ engagement. Engagement is measured via their intentions to buy additional e-textbooks in the future, their course grades, and their perceptions of comprehension of the material over time. Students’ overall satisfaction with the e-textbook is likewise explored to determine impact on the same measures of engagement.
3D Tracking between Satellites using Monocular Computer Vision

3D Tracking between Satellites using Monocular Computer Vision D.F. Malan Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering University of Stellenbosch Private Bag X1, 7602 Matieland, South Africa Thesis: M.Sc. Eng.Sci. (Electronic) December 2004 Visually estimating three-dimensional position, orientation and motion, between an observer and a target, is an important problem in computer vision. Solutions which compute threedimensional movement from two-dimensional intensity images, usually rely on stereoscopic vision. Some research has also been done in systems utilising a single (monocular) camera. This thesis investigates methods for estimating position and pose from monocular image sequences. The intended future application is of visual tracking between satellites flying in close formation. The ideas explored in this thesis build on methods developed for use in camera calibration, and structure from motion (SfM). All these methods rely heavily on the use of different variations of the Kalman Filter. After describing the problem from a mathematical perspective we develop different approaches to solving the estimation problem. The different approaches are successfully tested on simulated as well as real-world image sequences, and their performance analysed.

Increasing update rates in the building walkthrough system with automatic model-space subdivision and potentially visible set calculations

Abstract : Pre-processing some building models can radically reduce the number of polygons processed during interactive building walkthroughs. New model-space subdivision and potentially visible set (PVS) calculation techniques, used in combination, reduce the number of polygons processed in a real building model by an average factor of 30, and a worst case factor of at least 3.25. A method of recursive model-space subdivision using binary space partitioning is presented. Heuristics are developed to guide the choice of splitting planes. The spatial subdivisions resulting from binary space partitioning are called cells. Cells correspond roughly to rooms. An observer placed in a cell may see features exterior to the cell through transparent portions of the cell boundary called portals. Computing the polygonal definitions of the portals is cast as a problem of computing a set difference operation on co-planar polygons. A plane-sweep algorithm to compute the set operations, union, intersection and difference, on co-planar sets of polygons is presented with an emphasis on handling real-world data. Two different approaches to computing the PVS for a cell are explored. The first uses point sampling and has the advantage that it is easy to trade time for results, but has the disadvantage of under-estimating the PVS. The second approach is to analytically compute a conservative over-estimation of the PVS using techniques similar to analytical shadow computation. An implementation of the Radiosity lighting model is described along with the issues involved in combining it with the algorithms described in this dissertation.

LABYRINTH SPILLWAYS: COMPARISON OF TWO POPULAR U.S.A. DESIGN METHODS AND CONSIDERATION OF NON-STANDARD APPROACH CONDITIONS AND GEOMETRIES

Extensive physical modelling of labyrinth spillways, primarily flume studies, has been performed, resulting in the development of several design methods. Two of the more common methods used in the U.S.A. , referred to herein as the Lux and Tullis methods, are compared for a given labyrinth geometry. Results of a RANS Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model, using commercially available software (Flow-3D), for the same configuration is shown to give results comparable to those obtained using these design methods. Non-standard approach conditions and geometries are modelled using physical and numerical methods and the applicability of the Lux and Tullis methods for these conditions is evaluated. In particular, this paper considers the effects of aspect ratios (W/P) less than the minimum values recommended for the Lux and Tullis design methods. The results indicate that while the design methods are not appropriate for aspect ratios less than 2; hydraulic performance does increase for lower W/P values. Further testing to define labyrinth hydraulic behaviour for these lower W/P values is recommended.
ECARP - European computational aerodynamics research project : validation of CFD codes and assessment of turbulence models

This text and CD-ROM contain contributions to the BRITE/EURAM Third Framework European Computational Aerodynamics Research Project (ECARP), particularly to the areas of validation and unsteady viscous-inviscid interaction methods (UVII). Using Navier-Stokes and interactive schemes, particular emphasis is put on the performance of turbulence models for maximum and high-lift, single- and multi-element aerofoils and on three-dimensional flows, such as those over a wing-body combination, an inclined spheroid and a skewed (channel) bump. Further attention is directed towards two-dimensional separating boundary layers.
Solo status and women's spatial test performance: the role of individuation tendencies

The impact of anticipated solo status on women’s spatial performance was investigated in an experimental study. The study was designed to test whether the underperformance of women entering testing situations who find themselves to be the only woman present is related to a tendency to individuate the self. Women performed a test of spatial ability under conditions of anticipated solo or non-solo status and responded to a measure of self-construal. In line with previous research, we found a disrupting solo status effect on women’s performance on the spatial ability test. Most importantly, the negative effect of solo status on performance was partially mediated by individuation tendencies as reflected in a decreased predominance of the interdependent (as compared to the independent) level of the self under solo status conditions. These findings indicate that individuation tendencies play a crucial role in the process triggered in test takers under threatening performance situations. Copyright # 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

EPIC Case Study 2 - Extension of a Tertiary Study

This protocol describes a case study undertaken as one of a series of case studies planned by the EPIC project aimed at investigating different procedures that can be adopted when undertaking a software engineering systematic literature review. In particular, the case study will investigate the value of a broad search process, the importance of grey literature, and the value of an automated rather than a manual search. This will be undertaken as a participant-observer study using a multiple-case embedded case study design. The protocol outlines the case study roles and responsibilities, the data collection, analysis and interpretation process and the quality assurance process used to ensure that the results are not biased by unexpected events. The main limitations of the case study are that the case is rather atypical of software engineering SLRs and the context of a broad search is limited to that of automated search of many digital libraries.
