Uncertainty is a quantitative attribute that represents the difference between reality and representation of reality. Uncertainty analysis and error propagation modeling reveals the propagation of input error through output. Main objective of this thesis is to model the uncertainty and its propagation for dependent line segments considering positional correlation. The model is implemented as a plug-in, called Propagated Band Model (PBM) Plug-in, to a commercial desktop application, GeoKIT Explorer. Implementation of the model is divided into two parts. In the first one, model is applied to each line segment of the selected network, separately. In the second one, error in each segment is transmitted through the line segments from the start node to the end node of the network. Outcomes are then compared with the results of the G-Band model which is the latest uncertainty model for vector features. To comment on similarities and differences of the outcomes, implementation is handled for two different cases. In the first case, users digitize the selected road network. In the second case recently developed software called Interactive Drawer (ID) is used to allow user to define a new network and simulate this network through Monte Carlo Simulation Method. PBM Plug-in is designed to accept the outputs of these implementation cases as an input, as well as generating and visualizing the uncertainty bands of the given line network. Developed implementations and functionality are basically for expressing the importance and effectiveness of uncertainty handling in vector based geometric features, especially for line segments which construct a network.

Novel model selection criteria on sparse biological networks Bulbul, G. B.; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Purutcuoglu, E. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-09-01) In statistical literature, gene networks are represented by graphical models, known by their sparsity in high dimensions. In this study, we suggest novel model selection criteria, namely, ICOMP, CAIC and CAICF to apply on simulated gene networks when selecting an optimal model among alternative estimated networks' constructions. In this description, we build models with the Gaussian graphical model (GGM) and the inference of GGM is achieved via the graphical lasso method. In the assessment of our proposed m...
Modeling Voxel Connectivity for Brain Decoding Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2015-06-12) The massively dynamic nature of human brain cannot be represented by considering only a collection of voxel intensity values obtained from fMRI measurements. It has been observed that the degree of connectivity among voxels provide important information for modeling cognitive activities. Moreover, spatially close voxels act together to generate similar BOLD responses to the same stimuli. In this study, we propose a local mesh model, called Local Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (LMM-TM), to first estim...
Production of meaning of place through cultural practices : the case of Van Soner, Sultan; Şengül, Hüseyin Tarık; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2005) The aim of this thesis is to study the multidimensional relation between the spatial and the social by focusing on Van as a place. In order to understand social processes, it is important to view the complex relation between the spatial and the social. Taking the space-place relation into consideration, this work approaches to the processes of construction and representation of identity of place in the framework of the interrelation between place, culture and identity. Different groups in society are in a c...
Probabilistic Stability Evaluation of Oppstadhornet Rock Slope, Norway Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Bhasin, R. K. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-10-01) Probabilistic analyses provide rational means to treat the uncertainties associated with underlying parameters in a systematic manner. The stability of a 734-m-high jointed rock slope in the west of Norway, the Oppstadhornet rock slope, is investigated by using a probabilistic method. The first-order reliability method (FORM) is used for probabilistic modeling of the plane failure problem in the rock slope. The Barton-Bandis (BB) shear strength criterion is used for the limit state equation. The statistical...
Risk tolerance measure for decision-making in fuzzy analysis: a health risk assessment perspective Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-05-01) In risk assessment studies it is important to determine how uncertain and imprecise knowledge should be included into the simulation and assessment models. Thus, proper evaluation of uncertainties has become a major concern in environmental and health risk assessment studies. Previously, researchers have used probability theory, more commonly Monte Carlo analysis, to incorporate uncertainty analysis in health risk assessment studies. However, in conducting probabilistic health risk assessment, risk analyst ...
