Effects of Engineered Log Jams on Channel Morphology, Middle Fork of the John Day River, Oregon

Duffin, Jenna 18 August 2015 (has links)
Engineered log jams (ELJs) were constructed on the Middle Fork of the John Day River in eastern Oregon as part of a large restoration project. These log structures were designed to address many of the restoration goals including creating scour pools, inhibiting bank erosion, creating and maintaining a sinuous river planform, and increasing complexity of fish habitat. This study uses geomorphic change detection techniques to monitor topographic change under and around the 26 log structures in two different river reaches over a six to seven year period. This study finds that the ELJs are remaining stable within the river and maintaining deep pool habitat. The study provides insight into which log structure variables are most related to the patterns and amounts of aggradation and degradation. Understanding the geomorphic changes to the riverbed in response to the placement of the ELJs can influence the design and future effectiveness of ELJs.

Exact tests via complete enumeration : a distributed computing approach

Michaelides, Danius Takis January 1997 (has links)
The analysis of categorical data often leads to the analysis of a contingency table. For large samples, asymptotic approximations are sufficient when calculating p-values, but for small samples the tests can be unreliable. In these situations an exact test should be considered. This bases the test on the exact distribution of the test statistic. Sampling techniques can be used to estimate the distribution. Alternatively, the distribution can be found by complete enumeration. A new algorithm is developed that enables a model to be defined by a model matrix, and all tables that satisfy the model are found. This provides a more efficient enumeration mechanism for complex models and extends the range of models that can be tested. The technique can lead to large calculations and a distributed version of the algorithm is developed that enables a number of machines to work efficiently on the same problem.

Modelos logisticos quadraticos com maxima verossimilhança penalizada para previsão de estrutura secundaria de proteinas

No. of bitstreams: 1 Porrelli_RaulNeder_M.pdf: 10278987 bytes, checksum: 09e9a4c65fd6c396aa90700be5fdf713 (MD5) Previous issue date: 1995 / Resumo: Apesar do grande número de algoritmos existentes para a previsão de estrutura secundária de proteínas, determinadas técnicas estatísticas ainda não haviam sido exploradas. Utilizamos a metodologia de funções discriminantes logísticas na tentativa de ultrapassar a acurácia obtida por métodos que usaram redes neurais e teoria da informação. O número de parâmetros foi limitado explorando-se a natureza periódica das alfa-hélices e placas pregueadas beta. Uma grande variedade de modelos foi pesquisada, usando abordagem semi-paramétrica (máxima verossimilhança com penalização) combinada com seleção gradual de parâmetros. Mostramos que os modelos mais bem sucedidos tem ao redor de 800 parâmetros "efetivos" para o conjunto de dados utilizado. Os 340 parâmetros lineares e parte dos 800 parâmetros quadráticos puderam ser interpretados do ponto de vista físico-químico, contrastando com outros métodos da literatura. Após otimização e validação _cruzada, a acurácia foi de 65.9% para três estados estruturais, o que representa um resultado ligeiramente superior aos dos algoritmos já publicados. A maior acurácia de previsão está concentrada numa porção dos resíduos e a confiança da previsão pode ser facilmente calculada. Exploramos a possibilidade de usar estes resíduos, previstos com alta confiabilidade, para prever a estrutura completa da proteína, assim como muitos outros artifícios para aumentar a eficiência do método, com resultados limitados. Embora tenhamos obtido apenas uma modesta melhora da acurácia, a maneira como implementamos o modelo sugere que utilizamos toda a informação estrutural contida em segmentos de até 17 aminoácidos, no nível de complexidade que a quantidade de dados permite / Mestrado / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Comparação de resultados de uma coorte sob as abordagens prospectiva e histórica: amamentação no primeiro ano de vida / Comparison between results of a cohort under prospective and historical approaches: breastfeeding in the first year of age

Gizelton Pereira Alencar 23 May 2003 (has links)
Objetivo. Uma coorte de crianças foi observada sob duas abordagens: coorte prospectiva e coorte retrospectiva (histórica) e o objetivo foi comparar as estimativas da função de riscos do modelo de Cox entre as duas abordagens e a mesma comparação com o modelo complemento log-log. Além disso, comparar as estimativas da função de riscos pelos modelos de Cox e complemento log-log para cada uma das abordagens, separadamente. Métodos. Quando se estuda o tempo de sobrevida da amamentação sem as covariáveis, foram obtidas as estimativas pela técnica atuarial e modelo complemento log-log da informação retrospectiva e a técnica de Kaplan-Meier para a informação prospectiva. Os modelos de Cox e complemento log-log foram utilizados para estimar a razão de riscos (HR) com covariáveis para as duas abordagens. Resultados. Sem as covariáveis, a comparação entre as duas abordagens mostrou que as estimativas de S(t) pela informação retrospectiva estão um pouco defasadas em relação à medida prospectiva. Com as covariáveis, os resultados dos modelos de Cox e complemento log-log são semelhantes tanto para os dados prospectivos quanto para os retrospectivos. Foram semelhantes, também, os resultados de um mesmo modelo para cada uma das fontes de informação. Conclusões. Em geral, as estimativas foram bastante próximas em quaisquer das comparações. Somente a variável hábito de fumar da mãe durante a gravidez permaneceu nos modelos finais para todas as técnicas utilizadas, com estimativas próximas, reforçando semelhança entre as várias abordagens. / Objective. A cohort of children was observed under two approaches: prospective cohort and retrospective (historical) cohort and the objective was to compare the estimates of the hazard ratio from Cox model between the two approaches and do the same comparison using the complementary log-log model. Moreover, to compare the estimates of the hazard ratio from the two models to each one of the approaches, separately. Methods. When the survival time for breastfeeding is studied without the covariates, the comparison between the results of actuarial technique and the complementary log-log model has been made for the recorded information. The Kaplan-Meier technique has been used with the daily notebook measures. The Cox and complementary log-log models can estimate the risk rate of covariates categories to both approaches. Results. Without the covariates, the comparison between the two information resources showed that retrospective measures give lower estimates than that from the prospective measures. With covariates, the estimates are not so different and led to the same results. Conclusions. The estimates of each one of the comparisons were too close. Just the variable mothers smoking during the pregnancy stayed in the final models for every techniques used, with close estimates, reinforcing likeness between the several approaches.

Survival Instantaneous Log-Odds Ratio From Empirical Functions

Jung, Jung Ah, Drane, J. Wanzer 01 January 2007 (has links)
The objective of this work is to introduce a new method called the Survivorship Instantaneous Log-odds Ratios (SILOR); to illustrate the creation of SILOR from empirical bivariate survival functions; to also derive standard errors of estimation; to compare results with those derived from logistic regression. Hip fracture, AGE and BMI from the Third National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES III) were used to calculate empirical survival functions for the adverse health outcome (AHO) and non-AHO. A stable copula was used to create a parametric bivariate survival function, that was fitted to the empirical bivariate survival function. The bivariate survival function had SILOR contours which are not constant. The proposed method has better advantages than logistic regression by following two reasons. The comparison deals with (i) the shapes of the survival surfaces, S(X1, X2), and (ii) the isobols of the log-odds ratios. When using logistic regression the survival surface is either a hyper plane or at most a conic section. Our approach preserves the shape of the survival surface in two dimensions, and the isobols are observed in every detail instead of being overly smoothed by a regression with no more than a second degree polynomial. The present method is straightforward, and it captures all but random variability of the data.
