A cross-case analysis on models of football governance and the influence of supporter groups (2020)
Thesis
Gibson, I. A cross-case analysis on models of football governance and the influence of supporter groups. (Thesis). University of Salford

As the football industry continues to reach unprecedented levels of economic growth, elite clubs continue to capitalise on the financial riches on offer across Europe’s most popular leagues. In the quest for financial growth, historic clubs and their... Read More about A cross-case analysis on models of football governance and the influence of supporter groups.

Perceived injustice and its impact on job outcomes : role of jealousy and self-efficacy (2018)
Thesis
Khan, M. (in press). Perceived injustice and its impact on job outcomes : role of jealousy and self-efficacy. (Thesis). University of Salford

Organizational injustice remains a matter of great concern due to its adverse effects on job outcomes. Extant research devoted much attention to investigate how perceptions of injustice impact employee attitudes and behaviours, but mostly through cog...

Sequential regression techniques with application to the individual sprint in track cycling (2012)
Thesis

The research work described in this thesis is concerned with processes comprising a sequence
of stages, where states and actions taken during each stage influence the outcome at the end of
the process. Statistical analysis of such processes using s... Read More about Sequential regression techniques with application to the individual sprint in track cycling.

A quantitative analysis of sports tournament designs (2012)
Thesis

In this study, we develop quantitative methodology to investigate optimal designs and
fairness in sports tournaments. We propose a number of tournament metrics that can be
used to measure the success of sporting contests or tournaments, and describ... Read More about A quantitative analysis of sports tournament designs.

Statistical modelling in test cricket (2011)
Thesis
Akhtar, S. Statistical modelling in test cricket. (Thesis). University of Salford

In this thesis, we focus on decision problems in test cricket. Initially, we address declaration and follow-on decision problems. We then investigate session by session
batting and bowling strategy. Later, we extend our analysis to the rating of tes... Read More about Statistical modelling in test cricket.

Probability elicitation : predictive approach (2009)
Thesis
Akbarov, A. Probability elicitation : predictive approach. (Thesis). University of Salford

Probability elicitation is an important area of research with a wide scope for investigation and experimentation. The existing literature on the subject is vast and
spread over many disciplines. This indicates the importance of the subject and the u... Read More about Probability elicitation : predictive approach.

Statistical models for match prediction and decision making in sport (2008)
Thesis

In this study, we investigate models for the prediction of match outcome. These
models are then used to aid decision-making. In particular, we consider batting
strategy in test cricket. This model provides decision support for a team that is aiming... Read More about Statistical models for match prediction and decision making in sport.

Optimisation in network asset management (2007)
Thesis
Boudemagh, N. Optimisation in network asset management. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis considers the role of mathematical programming in asset management.
Large, extensive distribution networks are the focus of the work. In particular, we
look at how to determine the optimal policy for project release. Projects relating t... Read More about Optimisation in network asset management.

Capital replacement modelling with a fixed planning horizon (2001)
Thesis
Hashem, M. Capital replacement modelling with a fixed planning horizon. (Thesis). University of Salford

For equipment or plant replacement, when to replace an existing plant, fleet or a
part of it, is one of the main concerns in decision-making. The thesis considers
this decision-making problem using capital replacement models with a fixed
planning... Read More about Capital replacement modelling with a fixed planning horizon.

Advances in capital replacement modelling with applications (1996)
Thesis
Bouamra, O. Advances in capital replacement modelling with applications. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis addresses the capital replacement modelling problems associated with a
mixed, or inhomogeneous, fleet and also takes account of the fleet size problem.
Applications considered relate to a fleet of buses and a fleet of medical equipment.... Read More about Advances in capital replacement modelling with applications.

Estimation and forecasting team strength dynamics in football : investigation into structural breaks
Thesis
Sellitti Rangel Junior, J. (in press). Estimation and forecasting team strength dynamics in football : investigation into structural breaks. (Thesis). University of Salford

This PhD thesis studies the dynamics of team strengths in football. It investigates the presence of structural breaks, which occur when there is a change in parameters that govern dynamics in a time series. In football, such structural breaks occur b...

Multi-period market risk estimation and performance evaluation : evidence from univariate, multi-variate and options data
Thesis
Iqbal, R. (in press). Multi-period market risk estimation and performance evaluation : evidence from univariate, multi-variate and options data. (Thesis). University of Salford

There are different risk management approaches available, as different firms have different risk goals. Value at risk (VaR) is the most frequently used risk measure for asset or portfolio risk and certainly, per the Basel framework, is a preferred me...

Prognostics and health management for multi-component systems
Thesis
Assaf, R. (in press). Prognostics and health management for multi-component systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

The ever increasing number of manufacturing requirements is pushing original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to design more complex systems to meet industrial needs. These systems are being fitted with more components which bear stochastic and economic... Read More about Prognostics and health management for multi-component systems.

Statistical modelling of training and performance using power output and heart rate data collected in the field
Thesis
Al-Otaibi, N. (in press). Statistical modelling of training and performance using power output and heart rate data collected in the field. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis develops statistical models of performance and training that make use of
power output and heart rate data. These data were collected during training and
competition, and were recorded every five seconds using a power meter and heart rat... Read More about Statistical modelling of training and performance using power output and heart rate data collected in the field.

Land to the people : peasants and nationalism in the development of land ownership structure in Zimbabwe from pre-colonialism to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) period
Thesis
Mupfuvi, B. Land to the people : peasants and nationalism in the development of land ownership structure in Zimbabwe from pre-colonialism to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) period. (Thesis). University of Salford

The space between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers now known as Zimbabwe is a diverse state endowed with diverse ethnicities. The vast majority of the people in this space were peasants and cultivators in pre-colonial times. These peasants had a strong...
