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.

Fall 2021
Risk can be decomposed along two dimensions: risk allocation and risk attribution. On the one hand, the total risk of a company can be allocated to its divisions, using that the company’s profit/loss is the sum of the divisions’ profits/losses. On the other hand, risk is attributed to risk...

Fall 2015
This dissertation first introduces the concepts of robust active learning (also called optimal experimental design in statistics), and the possible advantages of it over the traditional passive learning method. Then a general regression problem with possibly misspecified models is presented, and...

Fall 2015
This thesis introduces a new class of robust estimators for regression mod- els. Specifically, a class of weighted least square estimators under linear re- gression models is introduced in Chapter 2, with a continuous adaptive weight function computed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic....

Fall 2016
Robust Designs for Model Discrimination and Prediction of a Threshold Probability” In the first of the two projects comprising this thesis we consider the construction of experimental designs aimed at the elucidation of a functional relationship between a response variable and various covariates,...

Fall 2014
We study robust sampling designs for model-based stratification, when the assumed distribution F0 (·) of an auxiliary variable x, and the variance function g0 (·) in the associated regression model, are only approximately specified. We first maximize the scaled prediction mean squared error...

Fall 2023
This thesis establishes new Schur-Weyl functors involving the super Yangian, its deformed double current algebra, the affine super Yangian, and their respective Cherednik algebras.
