MS Thesis Defense: Ms. Helen Kafka
Markov Chain Model of Three-Dimensional Daphnia Magna Movement Ms. Helen Kafka University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Daphnia magna make turns through an antennae-whipping action. This action occurs every few seconds, hence, during the intervening time, the animal either remains in place or …
PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Russell Latterman
Bayesian Change Point Detection In Segmented Multi-Group Autoregressive Moving-Average Data For The Study Of COVID-19 In Wisconsin Mr. Russell Latterman University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Changepoint detection involves the discovery of abrupt fluctuations in population dynamics over time. We take a Bayesian …
MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Lucas Fellmeth
Utilizing ARMA Models for Non-Independent Replications of Point Processes Mr. Lucas Fellmeth University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The use of a functional principal component analysis (FPCA) approach for estimating intensity functions from prior work allows us to obtain component scores of replicated …
MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Sven Bergmann
Adding a Third Normal to CLUBB Mr. Sven Bergmann University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) model uses the sum of two normal probability density function (pdf) components to represent subgrid variability within a single grid layer …
PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Dan Noelck
Contraction Rates For McKean-Vlassov Stochastic Differential Equations Mr. Dan Noelck University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee This work focuses on the contraction rates for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs), McKean-Vlasov Stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs), and path dependent McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations. Under …
Colloquium: Prof. Genevieve Walsh
Hyperbolic groups, their boundaries and drilling Prof. Genevieve Walsh Professor of Mathematics Tufts University We will define and describe groups with a particular geometry, hyperbolic groups. We will define the boundary of a hyperbolic group and give many examples. If …
