An in depth evaluation of internal criteria for determining the number of clusters in a data set
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Clustering procedures partition data sets into groups, minimizing the distance within clusters while maximizing the distance between clusters. Clustering can be a powerful tool...
Comparative study of type 2 median crossovers and median u-turns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases on the major road...

Coprolites of the late eocene using virtual paleontology from the Pipestone Springs Main Pocket, Montana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
volumes and diameters for statistical comparison between the two different size classes of coprolite. In combination with volume renders of the segmented material, we also adopt more traditional methods such as thin-section petrography and scanning...
Associations between psychosis risk and emotional distress disorders with cortical surface morphometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Neuroimaging studies have consistently found structural cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia, especially in structural hubs. However, it is unclear what...
