Doctoral Dissertation
I
16(0-0-48)
The dissertation,
considered part of the research component, is the culmination of the
doctoral program. The dissertation demonstrates the ability of the
student to design and implement a major piece of research that has
both theoretical and practical significance. First, the student
identifies his or her research area and conducts a preliminary
literature review. Next, the student conducts a comprehensive
introduction and literature review focusing on the research questions
at hand. The literature review should assist in the identification and
explication of the research methodologies used in research efforts. In
part, the dissertation teaches the student the strengths and
limitations of applied research; it also demonstrates the student’s
ability to link theory to analysis, and strategy to operations in the
real world. Topics focus on design and analysis of experiments and
sample surveys; randomization, blocking, confounding, replication;
simple, random, stratified, multistage, and systematic sampling;
problems with happenstance data; nonparametric techniques.

459898: Doctoral
Dissertation II
16(0-0-48)
The dissertation bloc demonstrates the ability of the student to
analyze the various types of data. The various advanced statistical
methods are in focus. Multivariate analysis is used to analyze data
sets characterized by multiple measurements on each item. The
objective is to develop statistical procedures that analyze multiple
measurements simultaneously and exploit relationships among the
variables. This course discusses different multivariate methods and
highlights their usefulness in real applications. The course begins
with a brief survey of essential matrix concepts and a discussion of
the multivariate models. These models include: the multivariate linear
model, discriminant analysis, principal components, factor analysis,
canonical correlation, and structural equation models. The major part
of the course is a formal dissertation proposal.
The blueprint for the research project. This proposal is
approved by the dissertation committee and reviewed by the director of
research. In addition, students have to complete one empirical
research study for publication. |
