In this thesis, a simulation study is held and a statistical model is fitted to the simulated data. This data is assumed to be the satisfaction of the customers who withdraw their salary from a particular bank. It is a longitudinal data which has bivariate and binary response. It is assumed to be collected from 200 individuals at four different time points. In such data sets, two types of dependence -the dependence within subject measurements and the dependence between responses- are important and these are considered in the model. The model is Marginalized Transition Random Effects Models, which has three levels. The first level measures the effect of covariates on responses, the second level accounts for temporal changes, and the third level measures the difference between individuals. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods are used for the model fit. In the simulation study, the changes between the estimated values and true parameters are searched under two conditions, when the model is correctly specified or not. Results suggest that the better convergence is obtained with the full model. The third level which observes the individual changes is more sensitive to the model misspecification than the other levels of the model.

A simulation study on the comparison of methods for the analysis of longitudinal count data İnan, Gül; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Department of Statistics (2009) The longitudinal feature of measurements and counting process of responses motivate the regression models for longitudinal count data (LCD) to take into account the phenomenons such as within-subject association and overdispersion. One common problem in longitudinal studies is the missing data problem, which adds additional difficulties into the analysis. The missingness can be handled with missing data techniques. However, the amount of missingness in the data and the missingness mechanism that the data ha...
A structural equation model examining the relationships among mathematics achievement, attitudes toward statistics, and statistics outcomes Emmioğlu, Esma; Ok, Ahmet; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Department of Educational Sciences (2011) The purpose of the current study was to investigate the structural relationships among self-reported mathematics achievement, attitudes toward statistics, and statistics outcomes by testing a structural model. The current study utilized a survey design. The participants of study consisted of 247 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in statistics courses in a university in Turkey. The participants were from different disciplines such as engineering, education, and economics. The Turkish version of th...
A comparison of orthogonal cutting data from experiments with three different finite element models Bil, H; Kilic, SE; Tekkaya, AE (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01) The aim of this study is to compare various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process with each other as well as with the results of various experiments. Commercial implicit finite element codes MSC.Marc, Deform2D and the explicit code Thirdwave AdvantEdge have been used. In simulations, a rigid tool is advanced incrementally into the deformable workpiece which is remeshed whenever needed. In simulations with MSC.Marc and Thirdwave AdvantEdge, there is no separation criterion defined since chip format...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
A metamodeling methodology involving both qualitative and quantitative input factors Tunali, S; Batmaz, I (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-16) This paper suggests a methodology for developing a simulation metamodel involving both quantitative and qualitative factors. The methodology mainly deals with various strategic issues involved in metamodel estimation, analysis, comparison, and validation. To illustrate how to apply the methodology, a regression metamodel is developed for a client-server computer system. In particular, we studied how the response time is affected by the quantum interval, the buffer size. and the total number of terminals whe...
