Predicting the Next Big Impact: Modelling the Rate of Massive Meteorite Strikes
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)
Meteorites are solid pieces of debris from an astronomical object such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet. ...
Quantum Computation, Quantum Algorithms and Implications on Data Science
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)
Quantum computing is a new revolutionary computing paradigm, first theorized in 1981. It is based on quantum physics and quantum mechanics, which are fundamentally stochastic in nature with inherent randomness and uncertainty. ...
Optimal Dynamic Treatment Regime by Reinforcement Learning in Clinical Medicine
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)
Precision medicine allows personalized treatment regime for patients with distinct clinical history and characteristics. Dynamic treatment regime implements a reinforcement learning algorithm to produce the optimal ...
Statistical Perspectives in Teaching Deep Learning from Fundamentals to Applications
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;, 2020-12)
The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and deep learning have gained a lot of attention and become increasingly popular in many areas of application. Historically machine learning and theory had strong ...
Impact and Key Challenges of Insider Threats on Organizations and Critical Businesses
(9/7/2020)
The insider threat has consistently been identified as a key threat to organizations and governments. Understanding the nature of insider threats and the related threat landscape can help in forming mitigation strategies, ...
A Study on the X¯ and S Control Charts with Unequal Sample Sizes
(5/2/2020)
The control charts based on X¯ and S are widely used to monitor the mean and variability
of variables and can help quality engineers identify and investigate causes of the process variation.
The usual requirement behind ...
Testing the Strength of Hospital Accreditation as a Signal of the Quality of Care in Romania: Do Patients’ and Health Professionals’ Perceptions Align?
(9/19/2020)
Hospital accreditation, as a quality signal, is gaining its popularity among low- and middle-income countries, such as Romania, despite its costly nature. Nevertheless, its effectiveness as a quality signal in driving ...
Load-Sharing Model under Lindley Distribution and Its Parameter Estimation Using the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm
(11/22/2020)
A load-sharing system is defined as a parallel system whose load will be redistributed to its surviving components as each of the components fails in the system. Our focus is on making statistical inference of the parameters ...
Stochastic SIR-based Examination of the Policy Effects on the COVID-19 Spread in the U.S. States
(The UTSA Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Work;Volume 7, 2020-12)
Since the global outbreak of the novel COVID-19, many research groups have studied the epidemiology of the virus for short-term forecasts and to formulate the effective disease containment and mitigation strategies. The ...
