A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Hyperspectral Data Analysis
Jessica Seeger and Dr. Candace Berrett, BYU Department of Statistics Introduction Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technology that provides a dense set of previously un- available data{o ering the opportunity for use in a variety of applications such as food safety, ecology, and non-proliferation research. HSI stores measurements across three dimen- sions (two-dimensional space and […]
Development of a Data Reduction Pipeline for the ROVOR Observatory
Thayne McCombs and Dr. Joseph Ward Moody, Physics and Astronomy Introduction The ROVOR observatory is a robotic, remotely controlled telescope in Delta, Utah. Since it is remotely controlled and semi-automated, it produces a very large amount of raw data. Unfortunately it took much longer to process and analyze the data than to acquire it, and, […]
Shadow IT and Data Credibility: The Impact of Shadow Systems in an ERP Environment
Noah Myers and Dr. David Wood, School of Accountancy Introduction In recent years, companies have increasingly turned to large software solutions known as ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems to centralize and streamline their accounting information systems. However, this centralization has caused tension with end users because of the system’s rigid structure and unfamiliarity to employees. […]
The Self-report Version of The Youth Outcome Questionnaire: Normative Data
Paul M. Rose and Dr. M. Gawain Wells, Psychology Introduction In the wake of increasing interest and demand from mental health care providers for sophisticated youth outcome measures, Burlingame, Wells and Lambert constructed the Youth Outcome Questionnaire (YOQ) in 1996 (1). To fill the need for an adolescent self-report version of the YOQ, Burlingame, Wells, […]
Phylogeny of the Order Siphonaptera Based on Molecular Data
Alison Swindle and Dr. Michael F. Whiting, Zoology Background The insect order Siphonaptera (fleas) has been historically significant for thousands of years. Beginning as early as 430 B.C. outbreaks of the bubonic plague have swept across continents and killed millions of people. Before fleas were linked with the plague, they were a little known order. […]
A Comparison of Statistical Software Packages in the Analysis of Survey Sample Data
Landon Sego and Drs. Howard B. Christensen, Statistics; Stephen J. Bahr, Sociology Objective To investigate and quantitatively document the differences between analyzing survey sample data with traditional statistical software (SAS) and with statistical software designed for the analysis of survey samples (SUDAAN). Background Most standard statistical software packages perform calculations based on the ideal assumption […]

Within the Cucujoidea is the family Erotylidae (pleasing fungus beetles). The Erotylidae includes 125 genera and approximately 2,500 species, and has a worldwide distribution. Erotylids are known for their striking coloration, including black […]
Measurement Techniques and Computational Methods for Acoustic Data in Concert Halls
Gordon Dix and Dr. Tim Leishman, Physics and Astronomy Designing and constructing a world-class concert hall is the culmination of many different, yet interrelated, disciplines. The architects must make the building structurally sound, while preserving its aesthetic beauty. Electricity, water, air conditioning, heating, and many other aspects of the inner workings of the hall must […]
