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.

Spring 2015
For a smooth projective variety defined over a number field, Beilinson (and independently Bloch) constructed a `height' pairing under very reasonable assumptions and with a number of conjectural properties. A folklore conjecture related to this pairing states that the rational Griffiths...

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...

Fall 2019
High dimensional classification has drawn massive attention due to its increasing application in genetic diagnosis, image or speech recognition and financial analysis. Traditional methods such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), which are optimal Bayes...

Fall 2022
Interface problems arise in many applications such as modeling of underground waste disposal, oil reservoirs, composite materials, and many others. The coefficient $a$, the source term $f$, the solution $u$ and the flux $a\nabla u\cdot \vec{n}$ are possibly discontinuous across the interface...

Fall 2021
A great deal of statistical research has been done in high- and ultrahigh-dimensional settings in recent years. Regularized approaches have been extensively used in dealing with high-dimensional datasets. It is widely acknowledged that robust procedures are important to deal with the influence of...

This thesis is based on six papers.

Fall 2024
Let Cat(oo,oo) denote the (oo,1)-category of (oo,oo)-categories with weakly inductive equivalences. The main objective of this thesis is to demonstrate that Cat(oo,oo) satisfies universal properties with respect to homotopy-coherent internalisation and enrichment. To achieve these universal...

Fall 2022
In this thesis we study some aspects of `Airy structures' first proposed in \cite{ks}, as an algebraic reformulation of the Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin (CEO) topological recursion initiated in \cite{eo} and \cite{eo1} in order to study the large $N$ expansion of matrix models. Our primary goal is to...

Spring 2014
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...
