This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Computation in quantile and composite quantile regression models with or without regularization
DownloadFall 2015
Quantile, composite quantile regression with or without regularization have been widely studied and applied in the high-dimensional model estimation and variable selections. Although the theoretical aspect has been well established, the lack of efficient computation methods and publicly available...

Imposing a constraint on the initial wealth may cause the perfect hedging impossible. In this case, the goal of an investor is to find a strategy that minimize the shortfall under a certain measure, which leads to the concept of partial hedging. In this thesis, the shortfall risk is measured by...

Fall 2014
Chevalley's theorem on the conjugacy of split Cartan subalgebras is one of the cornerstones of the theory of simple finite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 0. Indeed, this theorem affords the most elegant proof that the root system is an invariant of the Lie algebra. The...

Continuous-time Repeated Games with Imperfect Information: Folk Theorems and Explicit Results
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis treats continuous-time models of repeated interactions with imperfect public monitoring. In such models, players do not directly observe each other's actions and instead see only the impacts of the chosen actions on the distribution of a random signal. Often, there are two reasons why...

Fall 2014
This thesis is dedicated to the study of topological degree for different classes of monotone maps and applications to nonlinear problems in mathematical analysis and the applied mathematics. Employing topological methods for nonlinear problems in mathematics goes back to the pioneering work of...

Spring 2012
Replicated regular two-level factorial experiments are very useful for industry. The basic purpose of this type of experiments is to identify active effects that affect the mean and variance of the response. Hypothesis testing procedures are widely used for this purpose. However, the existing...

Fall 2014
The primary goal of this thesis is to implement the Kiefer-Wolfowitz nonparametric empirical Bayes method for models with multivariate response, using the idea of the dual algorithm outlined in a paragraph from Koenker and Mizera (2014). The approach of Kiefer-Wolfowitz was numerically...

Fall 2019
In the framework of topological recursion (TR), the quantum curve conjecture relates the initial spectral curve to a differential equation – the quantum curve – satisfied by the TR wave-function. Several admissibility conditions have been put forward to explain which input of spectral curve...
