This study is about uncertainty medelling for vector features in geographic information systems (GIS). It has mainly two objectives which are about the band models used for uncertainty modelling . The first one is the assessment of accuracy of GBand model, which is the latest and the most complex uncertainty handling model for vector features. Some simulations and tests are applied to test the reliability of accuracy of G-Band with comparing Chrisman’s epsilon band model, which is the most frequently used band model among the others. The tests are realized with two cases, testing with digitized lines by people and testing with randomly created lines with gaussian random number generator algorithm. So, the results can be examined in two different ways. The second aim of this thesis is development of band models for functional special curves. These functional curves are based on some mathematical models. Specifications of these curves are defined in the structure of Geographic Markup Language (GML) of Open GIS Consortium (OGC). They are arc, arc string, clothoid and cubic spline. Uncertainty for arc by three coordinates, arc string and cubic spline are modelled by G-Band. Arc by center point and clothoid are modelled by epsilon band. In this thesis, a commercial GIS API, GeoKIT is used to create the band geometries of functional curves, to perform some simulations and tests to make the comparison and to present the developed functionality as a desktop application. Band geomeiv tries are developed in the structure of API model which enable the functionality. Secondly, Matlab 2006a is used for technical computing to calculate multivariate normal cumulative density function (mvncdf) to be used in analyses and simulations.

An approach for landslide risk assesment by using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) Erener, Arzu; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2009) This study aims to develop a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) Based systematic quantitative landslide risk assessment methodology for regional and local scales. Each component of risk, i.e., hazard assessment, vulnerability, and consequence analysis, is quantitatively assessed for both scales. The developed landslide risk assessment methodology is tested at Kumluca watershed, which covers an area of 330 km2, in Bartın province of the Western Black Sea Region, Turkey. GIS and RS t...
A new contribution to nonlinear robust regression and classification with mars and its applications to data mining for quality control in manufacturing Yerlikaya, Fatma; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2008) Multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) denotes a modern methodology from statistical learning which is very important in both classification and regression, with an increasing number of applications in many areas of science, economy and technology. MARS is very useful for high dimensional problems and shows a great promise for fitting nonlinear multivariate functions. MARS technique does not impose any particular class of relationship between the predictor variables and outcome variable of interest....
DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUESTION-ANSWER BASED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN THEORY Ataş, Amine Hatun; Yıldırım, Zahide (2017-11-18) The purpose of this study is to document design, development, and implementation of a question-answer based instructional design theory. Sigel and Saunders (1977) state that many studies report the benefits of asking questions and being asked questions as enhancing students' thinking and reflects students' thinking process. The impact of asking question or being asked questions are inevitably influential on learning. As students experience quality questions and questioning, their awareness of learning arise...
Eye tracking in multimodal comprehension of graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2012-07-31) Eye tracking methodology has been a major empirical research approach for the study of online comprehension processes in reading and scene viewing. The use of eye tracking methodology for the study of diagrammatic representations, however, has been relatively limited so far. The investigation of specific types of diagrammatic representations, such as statistical graphs is even scarce. In this study, we propose eye tracking as an empirical research approach for a systematic analysis of multimodal comprehensi...
PROGRESSIVE CLUSTERING OF MANIFOLD-MODELED DATA BASED ON TANGENT SPACE VARIATIONS Gokdogan, Gokhan; Vural, Elif (2017-09-28) An important research topic of the recent years has been to understand and analyze manifold-modeled data for clustering and classification applications. Most clustering methods developed for data of non-linear and low-dimensional structure are based on local linearity assumptions. However, clustering algorithms based on locally linear representations can tolerate difficult sampling conditions only to some extent, and may fail for scarcely sampled data manifolds or at high-curvature regions. In this paper, w...
