Prognostic modelling for residual useful life prediction (2012)
Thesis
Xu, W. Prognostic modelling for residual useful life prediction. (Thesis). University of Salford

In the context of this thesis, prognosis aims at predicting the residual useful life of components using condition monitoring information. It enables a projection of component condition from the past and present into the future, providing significa... Read More about Prognostic modelling for residual useful life prediction.

Multivariate counting processes with application to repairable systems (2012)
Thesis
Bell, S. Multivariate counting processes with application to repairable systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

Survival processes and recurrent event processes are the subject of many texts. The works of Kalbfleisch and Prentice (2002), Cook and Lawless (2008) and Aalen et al. (2008) all provide detailed discussion of univariate event processes on which we... Read More about Multivariate counting processes with application to repairable systems.

Mathematical models for vector-borne infectious disease mapping with application to Dengue disease in Malaysia (2012)
Thesis
Samat, N. Mathematical models for vector-borne infectious disease mapping with application to Dengue disease in Malaysia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Few publications consider the estimation of relative risk for vector borne infectious diseases. Most of these articles involve exploratory analysis that includes the study of covariates and their effects on disease distribution and the study of geo...

Sparse data inference for point process failure models incorporating multiple maintenance effects (2011)
Thesis
Kearney, J. Sparse data inference for point process failure models incorporating multiple maintenance effects. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

The primary scenario within repairable system reliability estimation investigated is that of a single failure mode the likelihood of which occurring is supposed to be affected by maintenance activities of varying effect and degree. Since the stru... Read More about Sparse data inference for point process failure models incorporating multiple maintenance effects.

Improving operational effectiveness at vehicle inspection centres (2010)
Thesis
Samah, A. Improving operational effectiveness at vehicle inspection centres. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

In this research, operational problems at vehicle inspection centres (VIC) are explored and investigated. Simulation is used in this new application area to improve operational effectiveness at the VIC. In particular, simulation is...

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.

An empirical and analytical study of forecasting practices and perceptions in the United Kingdom (2004)
Thesis
Aziz-Khairulfazi, R. An empirical and analytical study of forecasting practices and perceptions in the United Kingdom. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Since way back in the 1970's, academic research has attempted to improve forecasting practice. Unfortunately, this process is still incomplete and ongoing. There has been little research in the forecasting area in incorporating forecasting technique...

New and modified methods for assessing reliability equivalence
Thesis
Alghamdi, S. (in press). New and modified methods for assessing reliability equivalence. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis investigates methods for assessing reliability equivalence factors for several common systems that comprise independent components or subsystems. We consider improving the reliability of the systems by (a) a reduction method and (b) sever... Read More about New and modified methods for assessing reliability equivalence.
