▼ A large amount of nanomaterial characterization data has been routinely collected by using electron microscopes and stored in image or video formats. A bottleneck in making effective use of the image/video data is the lack of the development of sophisticated data science methods capable of unlocking valuable material pertinent information buried in the raw data. To address this problem, the research of this dissertation begins with understanding the physical mechanisms behind the concerned process to determine why the generic methods fall short. Afterwards, it designs and improves image processing and statistical modeling tools to address the practical challenges. Specifically, this dissertation consists of two main tasks: extracting useful information from images or videos of nanomaterials captured by electron microscopes, and designing analytical methods for modeling/monitoring the dynamic growth of nanoparticles. In the first task, a two-pipeline framework is proposed to fuse two kinds of image information for nanoscale object detection that can accurately identify and measure nanoparticles in transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of high noise and low contrast. To handle the second task of analyzing nanoparticle growth, this dissertation develops dynamic nonparametric models for time-varying probability density functions (PDFs) estimation. Unlike simple statistics, a PDF contains fuller information about the nanoscale objects of interests. Characterizing the dynamic changes of the PDF as the nanoparticles grow into different sizes and morph into different shapes, the proposed nonparametric methods are capable of analyzing an in situ TEM video to delineate growth stages in a retrospective analysis, or tracking the nanoparticle growth process in a prospective analysis. The resulting analytic methods have applications in areas beyond the nanoparticle growth process such as the image-based process control tasks in additive manufacturing.

▼ Methods of estimation and forecasting for stationary models are well known and straightforward in classical time series analysis. For this reason, time series analysis involves using mathematical transformations to render the stochastic process approximately stationary and conduct inference on the transformed series. However, assuming stationarity, even for the transformed series, is at best an idealization. In practice, this assumption may be unrealistic, especially for processes with time varying statistical properties. We define a class of locally stationary processes called locally stationary basis (LSB) processes which can lead to more accurate uncertainty quantification over making an invalid assumption of stationarity. LSB processes assumes the model parameters to be time-varying and parameterizes them in terms of a transformation of basis functions. The transformation is required as it ensures that the processes are locally stationary, and as required, causal, invertible or identifiable, something that is generally ignored while defining locally stationary models. We develop methods and theory for parameter estimation in this class of models, and propose a test that allow us to examine certain departures from stationarity. We assess our methods using simulation studies and apply these techniques to the analysis of an electroencephalogram time series. We also extend our theory for LSB processes to the spatio-temporal case, in particular, LSB spatio-temporal processes. While there are several models in literature which explore the non-stationarities in the spatial domain, few have been developed for non-stationarities in time, while still maintaining space-time interactions. We give an overview of the theory for LSB processes and provide a Bayesian framework for carrying out inference with such models along with spatial predictions. A suitable algorithm is proposed for efficient posterior simulation for this class of models. We use this model to for an analysis of the monthly mean temperatures from the Global Historical Climatology Network data in and around the state of Ohio, USA from 1905-2004.

▼ The United State has experienced a downward trend in cattle and calves marketing over the last decade. The gross income from cattle sales has been in the opposite direction of inventory recorded during this period. With changes in the cattle income over the years, it is expected that the market will be changing over time. This dissertation contains three related essays on feeder cattle market dynamics. The first essay explores spatial arbitrage opportunities in the feeder cattle markets across the United States. The second essay examines the time variation in the feeder cattle spatial market connectedness. The third essay examine the impact of the 2005 energy policy on the feeder cattle markets through a time-varying analysis. The objective of the first essay is to determine the frequency of price differences in spatial feeder cattle markets offer profitable arbitrage? The study further investigates factors determining spatial arbitrage opportunities between pairs of markets. Arbitrage opportunities are at the lowest during the winter in the higher weight categories. The higher the number of cattle head the higher the size of arbitrage opportunities available between spatial markets. This study is the first to use a time-varying transaction cost in the feeder cattle market spatial analysis. The arbitrage information here will serve as a guideline for potential investors in the feeder cattle market. The major study limitation is that livestock is not a truly homogenous product, and there are always at least minor differences in animal prices within a market. The second essay examines the degree of connectedness of the feeder cattle markets in the United States over time. Spillover index measure are applied to capture the impact of price shocks within selected feeder cattle markets on market connectedness. The essay further evaluates the influence of spatiotemporal factors that may impact the degree of market connectedness over the same period, and the impact of drought on periodic price transmission between markets. This is the first study to apply a time-varying approach to study feeder cattle market linkages at the auction level and factors influencing the variation in market connectedness. Seven major auction markets across five states are selected, three markets within the state of Kansas and four markets outside Kansas. There is variation in the level of market connectedness over the study period. Long term drought severity accounts for some of the dynamics in the feeder cattle market. The third essay examines the time path and magnitude of volatility translation across major agricultural commodities and energy markets and compares the causal relationships between pre-ethanol boom and post-ethanol boom periods. Results reveal strong evidence for time variation in the implied volatility spillover between the feeder cattle market and the energy market. Despite a high correlation between crude oil and feeder cattle volatilities in the post-ethanol boom period, the linkage between the two commodities’… Advisors/Committee Members: Ted C. Schroeder.

▼ Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is a widely used, formally exact approach for describing quantum many-body electron dynamics. This approach makes possible the theoretical investigation of laser-driven phenomenon occurring at the attosecond time scale and angstrom length scale, of interest in a wide range of fields including many subdisciplines of physics, optics, biology, material engineering, chemistry, and computer engineering. The increased sophistication in speed and accuracy of this computational method allows for the enhanced reliability, applicability, and accessibility of quantum dynamics simulation programs. In order to further advance these aspects of the computational implementation of TDDFT, various means of accelerating such programs have been investigated. First, a class of basis set representations which is growing in popularity for such applications due to enhanced accuracy, the pseudospectral bases, was tested. It was shown that by modifying an exemplary sinc basis with sum-acceleration weights, the pseudospectral accuracy is maintained while allowing the computational efficiency to match that of other conventional methods. Next, various time propagation techniques were applied to the description of electron dynamics in a one-dimensional Helium atom which had either been initialized in an excited state or subject to driving laser fields. It was learned that a class of time propagation techniques new to TDDFT, exponential integrator methods, outperform popular approaches due to their ability to well-represent the nonlinear terms in the relevant differential equations. Lastly, a new time-dependent basis set comprised of Volkov states was introduced to the TDDFT description of periodic systems subject to intense laser pulses. It was demonstrated that this basis is capable of allowing time step sizes of up to an order of magnitude larger than those available in conventional techniques, thus allowing a similar speed up in simulation runtimes. This new basis was employed in investigative simulations of a periodic jellium model meant to describe the electronic rectification effect of recently suggested nano-scale diode devices.

▼ In this dissertation, I focus on the development and application of nonparametric methods in econometrics. First, a constrained nonparametric regression method is developed to estimate a function and its derivatives subject to shape restrictions implied by economic theory. The constrained estimators can be viewed as a set of empirical likelihood-based reweighted local polynomial estimators. They are shown to be weakly consistent and have the same first order asymptotic distribution as the unconstrained estimators. When the shape restrictions are correctly specified, the constrained estimators can achieve a large degree of finite sample bias reduction and thus outperform the unconstrained estimators. The constrained nonparametric regression method is applied on the estimation of daily option pricing function and state-price density function. Second, a modified Cumulative Sum of Squares (CUSQ) test is proposed to test structural changes in the unconditional volatility in a time-varying coefficient model. The proposed test is based on nonparametric residuals from local linear estimation of the time-varying coefficients. Asymptotic theory is provided to show that the new CUSQ test has standard null distribution and diverges at standard rate under the alternatives. Compared with a test based on least squares residuals, the new test enjoys correct size and good power properties. This is because, by estimating the model nonparametrically, one can circumvent the size distortion from potential structural changes in the mean. Empirical results from both simulation experiments and real data applications are presented to demonstrate the test's size and power properties. Third, an empirical study of testing the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) hypothesis is conducted in a functional-coefficient cointegration model, which is consistent with equilibrium models of exchange rate determination with the presence of trans- actions costs in international trade. Supporting evidence of PPP is found in the recent float exchange rate era. The cointegration relation of nominal exchange rate and price levels varies conditioning on the real exchange rate volatility. The cointegration coefficients are more stable and numerically near the value implied by PPP theory when the real exchange rate volatility is relatively lower. Advisors/Committee Members: Xu, Ke-Li (advisor), Li, Qi (committee member), Jansen, Dennis W. (committee member), Kim, Hwagyun (committee member).

Subjects/Keywords: Constrained nonparametric regression; CUSUM of squares test; derivative estimation; empirical likelihood; functional-coefficient cointegration; nonparametric alternative; option pricing; purchasing power parity; state-price density; structural change; time-varying coefficient model; volatility break.

▼ The catchability coefficient is used in most marine stock assessment models, and is usually assumed to be stationary and density-independent. However, recent research has shown that these assumptions are violated in most fisheries. Violation of these assumptions will cause underestimation of stock declines or recoveries, leading to inappropriate management policies. This project assesses the soundness of stationarity and density independence assumptions using multi-species data for seven stocks and four gears in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. This study also develops a multi-species methodology to compensate for failures of either assumption. To evaluate catchability assumptions, abundance-at-age was reconstructed and compared with catch-per-unit-effort data in the Gulf. Mixed-effects, Monte Carlo, and bootstrap analyses were applied to estimate time-varying catchability parameters. Gulf data showed large and significant density dependence (0.71, s.e. 0.07, p<0.001) and increasing trends in catchability (2.0% annually compounding, s.e. 0.6%, p < 0.001). Simulation modeling was also used to evaluate the accuracy and precision of seven different single-species and multi-species estimation procedures. Imputing estimates from similar species provided accurate estimates of catchability parameters. Multi-species estimates also improved catchability estimation when compared with the current assumptions of density independence and stationarity. This study shows that multi-species data in the Gulf of Mexico have sufficient quantity and quality to accurately estimate catchability model parameters. This study also emphasizes the importance of estimating density-dependent and density-independent factors simultaneously. Finally, this study shows that multi-species imputation of catchability estimates decreases errors compared with current assumptions, when applied to single-species stock assessment data.

▼ The thesis includes two projects related to the detection of group difference of health risk behavior using time-varying effect models. In the first project, we proposed to use a time-varying effect model to characterize gender-specific trajectories of health behaviors, and we also conducted hypothesis testing for gender differences. We first used two motivating examples which demonstrated that the proposed model works for both the longitudinal studies and the short-term studies that involve intensive data collection. Then a simulation study is conducted, which shows that the accuracy of estimation of trajectory functions improves as the sample size and the number of time points increase. In terms of the performance of the hypothesis testing, the type I error rates are close to their corresponding significance levels under all combinations of sample size and number of time points. In addition, the power increases as the alternative hypothesis deviates more from the null hypothesis, and the rate of this increasing trend is higher when the sample size and the number of time points are larger. The second project proposed to use a time-varying effect model for examining group differences in trajectories of zero-inflated count outcomes. The motivating example demonstrates that this zero-inflated Poisson model allows investigators to study group differences in different aspects of substance use (e.g. the probability of abstinence and the quantity of alcohol use) simultaneously. The simulation study shows that the accuracy of estimation of trajectory functions improves as the sample size increases; the accuracy under equal group sizes is only higher when the sample size is small (100). By examining the performance of the hypothesis testing, we found that the type I error rates are close to their corresponding significance levels under all settings. On the other hand, the power also increases as the alternative hypothesis deviates more from the null hypothesis and the rate of this increasing trend is higher when the sample size is larger. Moreover, the hypothesis test for the group difference in the zero component tends to be less powerful than the test for the group difference in the Poisson component.

▼ The seismic ground motions are nonstationary stochastic processes and vary from site to site. The time histories of synthetic ground motions are used for nonlinear inelastic structural dynamic analysis since the historical records are limit or unavailable for a particular scenario seismic event. This is especially the case for structures with multiple supports. The characteristics of the nonstationary stochastic ground motions depend on the earthquake magnitude, fault mechanism, source-to-site distance, and local site conditions. The characteristics could be represented by time-frequency (dependent) power spectral density (TFPSD) and coherence functions. The assessment of such power spectral density and coherence functions are presented by using historical records and the S-transform – a Fourier transform with time localized and frequency-dependent windows – is carried out. New models of the TFPSD function and coherence function are presented. Also, new time-frequency spectral representation methods (TFSRMs) to simulate nonstationary stochastic processes are proposed. The TFSRM is developed by taking the advantages of the orthonormal basis functions in the discrete orthogonal S-transform (DOST) and the refined time-frequency representation obtained by using the S-transform. TFSRM can be used to simulate ground motions at a single site or multiple sites. They can also be used to simulate seismic ground motions conditioned on observed ground motions. TFSRM can cope with the time-varying lagged coherence function; this is not the case with the well-known spectral representation method (SRM). Similar to the SRM, the direct use of TFSRM leads to Gaussian processes (stationary or nonstationary). However, there is indicates that the seismic ground motions may not be Gaussian. A new iterative power and amplitude correction algorithm is proposed to simulate nonstationary non-Gaussian stochastic processes. This procedure is successfully implemented and illustrated by numerical examples.

▼ This thesis presents four self-contained empirical research papers on monetary policy and monetary transmission using vector autoregression (VAR), structural VAR (SVAR), and Bayesian time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) models. The first two papers compare aspects of monetary policy and transmission in selected developed countries: Australia, the US, and the Euro area (Chapter 3); and Australia, the US, UK, and Canada (Chapter 4). The last two papers (Chapters 5 and 6) explore monetary policy and effects of monetary policy on inflation in Vietnam – a transition developing country. The empirical results indicate that the investment channel of monetary policy transmission plays a more important role than the consumption channel in Australia. Meanwhile the investment channel and the consumption channel make similar contributions to the overall transmission of monetary policy in the Euro area and the US. The difference between Australia and the Euro area appears to come from differences in housing investment responses, whereas Australia differs from the US mainly because it has a lower share of household consumption in total demand. Results from TVP-VAR models suggest that there were comovements in the monetary policy reactions to unemployment across countries before the recent Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The policy rate seems to react more strongly to unemployment changes in more recent years, especially in the US and UK. Monetary policy responses to inflation/deflation are observed to be divided into two groups, with the responses in the US and UK showing a different pattern to the responses in Canada and Australia. Monetary policy seems to react most aggressively against inflation/deflation in the US. The effects of monetary policy shocks on unemployment and inflation are similar across countries, and seem to have weakened over time. Results also suggest that monetary policy transmission to inflation in a transition country like Vietnam appears to work in a similar way to as in developed countries. The impulse response functions of inflation to shocks in monetary policy are plausible and robust across the VAR and SVAR models. The policy interest rate plays an important role in affecting inflation. For the case of Vietnam as a small, open economy, shocks to output and prices in trading partners also appear to have strong effects on domestic inflation. Allowing for the time-varying nature of the parameters and variance/covariance matrices, the results suggest that the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) appears to have been steadily using monetary policy tools to contain inflation. TVP-VAR results also confirm that monetary policy in Vietnam appears to lead to reasonable inflation responses. The evidence therefore supports the argument that Vietnam’s monetary policy might be more effective than…

▼ A smart grid cost/benefit analysis answers a series of economic questions that address the incremental benefits of each stage or decision point. Each stage of the economic analysis provides information about the incremental benefits of that stage with respect to the previous stage. With this approach stages that provide little or no economic benefits can be identified. In this study there are series of applications,-including quasi-steady state power flows over time-varying loads and costs of service, Monte Carlo simulations, reconfiguration for restoration, and coordinated control - that are used to evaluate the cost-benefits of a series of smart grid investments. In the electric power system planning process, engineers seek to identify the most cost-effective means of serving the load within reliability and power quality criteria. In order to accurately assess the cost of a given project, the feeder losses must be calculated. In the past, the feeder losses were estimated based upon the peak load and a calculated load factor for the year. The cost of these losses would then be calculated based upon an expected, fixed per-kWh generation cost. This dissertation presents a more accurate means of calculating the cost of losses, using hourly feeder load information and time-varying electric energy cost data. The work here attempts to quantify the improvement in high accuracy and presents an example where the economic evaluation of a planning project requires the more accurate loss calculation. Smart grid investments can also affect response to equipment failures where there are two types of responses to consider -blue-sky day and storm. Storm response and power restoration can be very expensive for electric utilities. The deployment of automated switches can benefit the utility by decreasing storm restoration hours. The automated switches also improve system reliably by decreasing customer interruption duration. In this dissertation a Monte Carlo simulation is used to mimic storm equipment failure events, followed by reconfiguration for restoration and power flow evaluations. The Monte Carlo simulation is driven by actual storm statistics taken from 89 different storms, where equipment failure rates are time varying. The customer outage status and durations are examined. Changes in reliability for the system with and without automated switching devices are investigated. Time varying coordinated control of Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is implemented. The coordinated control runs in the control center and makes use of measurements from throughout the system to determine control settings that move the system toward optimum performance as the load varies. The coordinated control provides set points to local controllers. A major difference between the coordinated control and local control is the set points provided by the coordinated control are time varying. Reduction of energy and losses of coordinated control are compared with local control. Also eliminating low voltage problems with coordinated control… Advisors/Committee Members: De La Reelopez, Jaime (committeechair), Broadwater, Robert P. (committeechair), Abbott, Amos L.

▼ The main contribution of this work is to investigate the entrainment in plumes with constant and time-varying source conditions experimentally. The study aims to build up an experiment rig to conduct the bulk entrainment measurement in plumes. Secondly, the study aims to examine the influences the forcing frequency and amplitude have on entrainment in pulsing plumes, where the flow rate, momentum and buoyancy are sinusoidal functions of time. Finally, the study aims to investigate the validity of the integral model for pure plumes with constant source conditions established by Morton et al. (Proc R Soc Lond A 234(1196):1–23, 1956) in pulsing plumes, as well as the virtual origin correction method for lazy plumes proposed by Hunt and Kaye (J Fluid Mech 435:377–396, 2001) in both constant source plumes and pulsing plumes. Experiments were conducted to verify the pulses in pulsing plumes. Plumes are formed by issuing saline fluid downwards into a less dense uniform environment from a round pipe. The pulsing flow is generated by a programmable ISMATEC gear pump. The evolution of the pulses in pulsing plumes is revealed by applying the light-attenuation method with high frequency imaging. Pulsing is shown to affect the development of the flow, as the forcing frequency at the source dominates the frequency of the flow downstream. To study the bulk entrainment in pulsing plumes, turbulent axisymmetric lazy plumes with constant source conditions were examined initially. The bulk dilution and entrainment measurements were achieved by using the experimental approach of Hunt and Kaye (J Fluid Mech 435:377–396, 2001). The integral relationship for the local flow rate Q(z) and local momentum M(z) from the model established by Morton et al. (Proc R Soc Lond A 234(1196):1–23, 1956) for constant source plumes was used to determine the average local entrainment. Experiments with pulsing plumes were carried out with a flow rate amplitude ranged from 33% to 80% and the non-dimensional frequency - Strouhal number 〖St=fD/U〗_0 ranged from 0.012 to 1.2, where the maximum frequency f of this pulsing plume is in the order of the eddy turnover time scale at the source, D is the source diameter and U_0 is the average velocity at the source. The entrainment coefficient was determined in pulsing plumes and was found within the range of the entrainment values in plumes with constant source conditions. The influence of the forcing frequency and amplitude is examined, and found to be very small over the entire range of source conditions considered. The virtual origin correction method of Hunt and Kaye (J Fluid Mech 435:377–396, 2001) is found to give a reasonably good estimation in predicting the virtual origin in pulsing plumes. The results suggest that the local entrainment velocity is proportional to the time-average local plume velocity even in pulsing plumes where the local velocity is varying with time. This supports the application of the integral model of Morton et al. (Proc R Soc Lond A 234(1196):1–23, 1956) to building…

▼ Ambulance response time is a key measure used to assess EMS system performance. However, the speed with which ambulances respond to emergencies can be highly variable. In some cases, this is due to geography. In dense urban areas for example, the distances traveled are short, but traffic and other hindrances such as traffic calming measures and high rise elevators cause delays, while rural areas involve greater distances and longer travel times. There are two major components of response time: first, pre-travel delay to prepare for ambulance dispatch, and second the actual travel time to the callers location. Response time standards are often established in order to provide fast and reliable service to the most severely ill patients. Standards typically specify the percentage of time an emergency response team can get to a call within a certain time threshold. This is referred to as “coverage”. This thesis deals with the development of a new response time model that predicts not only the mean response time, but estimates its variability. The models are developed based on historical data provided by the Region of Waterloo EMS and will permit the Region to predict EMS coverage. By analyzing the historical data, we found that response times from EMS stations to geographical locations within the Region of Waterloo are characterized by lognormal distributions. For a particular station – location pair we can thus use this information to predict coverage if we are able to specify the parameters of the distribution. We do this by characterizing the travel time and pre-travel delay times separately, and then adding the two to estimate coverage. We will use a previously proposed model that estimates the mean travel time from a station to a demand point as a function of road types traversed. We also compare the results of this model with another well known model and show that the first model is suitable to apply to the Region of Waterloo. In order to estimate the standard deviation of the response time, we propose a simple but effective model that estimates the standard deviation as a function of mean response time.

▼ Understanding the role of local orbital degrees of freedom in the behavior of solid state systems has long been understood as a key to unraveling the mysteries presented by complex transition metal compounds. A general approach to the many-body problem is density functional theory (DFT) and its time-dependent extension (TDDFT), which provide a realistic representation of the material-dependent symmetry and chemistry of a compound. Calculation of quantities in (TD)DFT are most often performed using the basis of Bloch states, which is not natural for investigating local degrees of freedom. The Wannier basis provides localized orbitals that retain all of the information on the chemistry and symmetry of the groundstate. By transforming the expressions from TDDFT for the density-response functions into the Wannier basis, I have been able to develop novel methods for the investigation into the role of orbital degrees of freedom on the particle-hole excitation spectrum and used these methods to develop a scheme to construct a Wannier basis by tuning the gauge of the transformation to produce the simplest, yet fully accurate, description of the low-energy optical spectrum. Cu2O [cuprite] provided the foundational test case for this development and the key to optimization proved to be the transference of chemically induced hybridization from energy space into real space. Using FeTe as a test case for correlated materials required understanding its graphene-like optical response, which I explain as a result of orbitally selective, local correlations giving rise to two-dimensional, linearly dispersing band topology. I also interpret the correlations and optical excitations using the Wannier basis. Subsequently, I have extended the optimization method to FeTe, which led naturally to 1) a "target" subspace of the full Hilbert space that is disentangled from the "rest", allowing for the construction of minimal, ab initio models by utilizing the constrained random-phase approximation (CRPA) and 2) ordered molecular orbitals that correspond to the structural and magnetic phase transition. The results contained in this dissertation will have broad implications for the treatment of long-ranged physics in future theoretical approaches to complex transition metal compounds.
