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).

    simulation studies to investigate right censoring. Different datasets from the exponential, Weibull, log-Normal, and gamma probability distributions have been generated in order to test the robustness of the SSS's. Three differential censoring settings were imposed on the generated datasets to test the

    time to events if the SSS uses appropriate distribution. Other authors have proposed the exponential and Weibull distributions for the event times. We have established the log-Weibull distribution as a new and alternative approach for the SSS, and compared and contrasted the three distributions through

    The spatial scan statistic (SSS) has been used for the identification of geographical clusters of higher than expected numbers of cases of a condition such as an illness. Disease outbreaks in a geographic area are a typical example. These statistics can also identify geographic areas with longer
