Analytic Extensions to the Data Model for Management Analytics and Decision Support in the Big Data EnvironmentAkpakpan, Nsikak Etim 01 January 2018 (has links)
From 2006 to 2016, an estimated average of 50% of big data analytics and decision support projects failed to deliver acceptable and actionable outputs to business users. The resulting management inefficiency came with high cost, and wasted investments estimated at $2.7 trillion in 2016 for companies in the United States. The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study was to examine the data model of a typical data analytics project in a big data environment for opportunities to improve the information created for management problem-solving. The research questions focused on finding artifacts within enterprise data to model key business scenarios for management action. The foundations of the study were information and decision sciences theories, especially information entropy and high-dimensional utility theories. The design-based research in a nonexperimental format was used to examine the data model for the functional forms that mapped the available data to the conceptual formulation of the management problem by combining ontology learning, data engineering, and analytic formulation methodologies. Semantic, symbolic, and dimensional extensions emerged as key functional forms of analytic extension of the data model. The data-modeling approach was applied to 15-terabyte secondary data set from a multinational medical product distribution company with profit growth problem. The extended data model simplified the composition of acceptable analytic insights, the derivation of business solutions, and the design of programs to address the ill-defined management problem. The implication for positive social change was the potential for overall improvement in management efficiency and increasing participation in advocacy and sponsorship of social initiatives.

Hypersurfaces Levi-plates et leur complément dans les surfaces complexes / Levi-flat hypersurfaces and their complement in complex surfacesCanales Gonzalez, Carolina 14 December 2015 (has links)
Dans ce mémoire nous étudions les hypersurfaces Levi-plates analytiques dans les surfaces algébriques complexes. Il s'agit des hypersurfaces réelles qui admettent un feuilletage par des courbes holomorphes, appelé le feuilletage de Cauchy Riemann (CR). Dans un premier temps nous montrons que si ce dernier admet une dynamique chaotique (i.e. s'il n'admet pas de mesure transverse invariante) alors les composantes connexes de l'extérieur de l'hypersurface sont des modifications de domaines de Stein. Ceci permet d'étendre le feuilletage CR en un feuilletage algébrique singulier sur la surface complexe ambiante. Nous appliquons ce résultat pour montrer, par l'absurde, qu'une hypersurface Levi-plate analytique qui admet une structure affine transverse dans une surface algébrique complexe possède une mesure transverse invariante. Ceci nous amène à conjecturer que les hypersurfaces Levi-plates dans les surfaces algébriques complexes qui sont difféomorphes à un fibré hyperbolique en tores sur le cercle sont des fibrations par courbes algébriques. / In this work we study analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex algebraic surfaces. These are real hypersurfaces that admit a foliation by holomorphic curves, called Cauchy Riemann foliation (CR). First, we show that if this foliation admits chaotic dynamics (i.e. if it doesn't admit an invariant transverse measure), then the connected components of the complement of the hypersurface are Stein. This allows us to extend the CR foliation to a singular algebraic foliation on the ambient complex surface. We apply this result to prove, by contradiction, that analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces admitting a transverse affine structure in a complex algebraic surface have a transverse invariant measure. This leads us to conjecture that Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex algebraic surfaces that are diffeomorphic to a hyperbolic tori bundle over the circle are fibrations by algebraic curves.
