Robust Gaussian Process Regression and its Application in Data-driven Modeling and Optimization
DownloadFall 2015
Availability of large amounts of industrial process data is allowing researchers to explore new data-based modelling methods. In this thesis, Gaussian process (GP) regression, a relatively new Bayesian approach to non-parametric data based modelling is investigated in detail. One of the primary...

Stream Crossings in the Western Boreal Forest: Assessing Impacts and Prioritizing Restoration for Native Freshwater Fishes
DownloadFall 2015
Growing anthropogenic development in response to rising demands for natural resources is a major concern for freshwater fish, particularly in resource rich regions such as Canada’s boreal forest. Expanding networks of industrial resource roads has led to the installation of hundreds of thousands...
