Comparison of recruitment and retention among demographic subgroups in a large diverse population study of diet
(Elsevier, 2017-06)Objective We examined the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal study of diet among diverse populations by comparing rates of response throughout recruitment and retention phases by demographic and other characteristics. ... -
Design and Analysis of Experiments on Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-17)In the design and analysis of experiments, it is often assumed that experimental units are independent, in the sense that the treatment assigned to one unit will not affect the potential outcome of another unit. However, ... -
Evaluation of instantaneous and cumulative models for reactivity ratio estimation with multiresponse scenarios
(University of Waterloo, 2004)Estimating reactivity ratios in multicomponent polymerizations is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, using cumulative models is becoming imperative, as some multicomponent systems are inherently so fast ... -
Optimal Experimental Design Applied to Models of Microbial Gene Regulation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-22)Microbial gene expression is a comparatively well understood process, but regulatory interactions between genes can give rise to complicated behaviours. Regulatory networks can exhibit strong context dependence, time-varying ... -
A Spectral Approach to Network Design and Experimental Design
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-15)Over the last decade, the spectral sparsification technique has become a powerful tool in designing fast graph algorithms for various problems with numerous applications. In this thesis, we extend this spectral approach, ... -
The Usability and Learnability of Pen/Tablet Mode Inferencing
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-14)The inferred mode protocol uses contextual reasoning and local mediators to eliminate the need to access specic modes to perform draw, select, move and delete operations in a sketch interface. This thesis describe an ...
