In this thesis a mathematical model of HIV transmission and diagnosis is used to estimate the total size of the HIV-positive population and the HIV incidence from HIV case report data for the Province of Alberta. Worldwide, estimates of the size of the HIV-positive population are used to...

Quantile regression supplements the ordinary least squares regression and provides a complete view of a relationship between a response variable and a set of covariates. The quantile regression model does not assume any particular error distribution. It is estimated by minimizing an asymmetric...

The class of finite mixture models is widely used in many areas, including science, humanities, medicine, engineering, among many others. Testing homogeneity is one of the important and challenging problems in the application of finite mixture models. It has been investigated by many researchers...

Hyperinterpolation on the unit sphere of the Euclidean space was proposed by Sloan in 1995. But pointwise convergence in the uniform form can not be achieved by hyperinterpolation. Reimer later proposed the generalized hyperinterpolation, which has the advantages that uniform convergence for all...

Imperfect Hedging on Equity-Linked Life Insurance with Market Constraints: Stochastic Interest Rate and Transaction Costs
DownloadSpring 2014
Equity-linked life insurance contracts are a type of investment product issued by insurance companies to provide the insured with more appealing benefits, compared with the traditional insurance policy. Such benefits are not only linked to the performance of the underlying investments in the...

he main aim of this thesis lies in describing, as explicit as possible, the local-risk minimizing strategy for a change-point model. To this end, we analyze and investigate the mathematical structures of this model. The change-point model is a model that starts with a dynamic and switches to...

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV brain tumour. It is the most common brain malignancy and is extremely aggressive. Ionizing radiation plays a vital role in the treatment of this tumour. Growth of the GBM is sustained by a subpopulation of the tumour cells often called the glioma stem...

Mathematical Models and Inverse Algorithms for Childhood Infectious Diseases with Vaccination - Case Studies in Measles
DownloadFall 2014
Children are at a high risk of infection since they have not yet developed mature immunity. Childhood infectious diseases, such as measles, chicken pox and mumps, remain epidemic and endemic around the world. Yet, their dynamics are still not fully understood. SIR-type models have been proposed...

Given an algebraic group G over a field k and a k-algebra R, the role of maximal abelian k-diagonalizable subalgebras (MAD for short) of G(R) is the same as that the split maximal torus play in G(k). Let G be a reductive group such that the derived subgroup is simply connected and let Spec(R) be...
