    • Analysis of the in-vitro nanoparticle-cell interactions via smoothing splines mixed effects model 

      Doğruöz, Elifnur (Bilkent University, 2013)
      A mixed effects statistical model is developed to understand the nanoparticle(NP)- cell interactions and predict the cellular uptake rate of NPs. NP-cell interactions are crucial for targeted drug delivery systems, ...
    • Analysis of the in-vitro nanoparticle-cell interactions via support vector regression model 

      Akbulut, Nur Muhammed (Bilkent University, 2013)
      In this research a Support Vector Regression model is developed to understand the nanoparticle (NP)-cell interactions and to predict the cellular uptake rate of the nanoparticles, which is the rate of NPs adhered to the ...
    • Approximate dynamic programming approach for sequential change diagnosis problem 

      Akbulut, Elif (Bilkent University, 2013)
      We study sequential change diagnosis problem which is the combination of change diagnosis and multi-hypothesis testing problem. One observes a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. At a ...
    • Bayesian in-service failure rate models 

      Alankaya, Tolunay (Bilkent University, 2022-08)
      Predicting the number of appliance failures during service after sales is crucial for manufacturers to detect production errors and plan spare part inventories. We provide a two-phased Bayesian model that predicts the ...
    • Combinatorial multi-armed bandits: applications and analyses 

      Sarıtaç, Anıl Ömer (Bilkent University, 2018-09)
      We focus on two related problems: Combinatorial multi-armed bandit problem (CMAB) with probabilistically triggered arms (PTAs) and Online Contextual Influence Maximization Problem with Costly Observations (OCIMP-CO) ...
    • Compound Poisson disorder problem with uniformly distributed disorder time 

      Ürü, Çağın (Bilkent University, 2019-07)
      Suppose that arrival rate and jump distribution of a compound Poisson process change suddenly at an unknown and unobservable time. The problem of detecting the change (disorder) as soon as it occurs is known as compound ...
    • Employee turnover probability prediction 

      Barın, Hüsameddin Deniz (Bilkent University, 2022-09)
      Employee turnover prediction is crucial for the companies in the sense that the precautionary action by the employers can be made in advance. A turnover data provided by a company was examined throughout the thesis. Firstly, ...
    • Generalized linear models for in-vitro nanoparticle-cell interactions 

      Çuhacı, Z. Gülce (Bilkent University, 2013)
      Nanomedicine techniques are quite promising in terms of treatment and detection of cancerous cells. Targeted drug delivery plays an important role in this field of cancer nanotechnology. A lot of studies have been conducted ...
    • Learning price promotion effects on recurring sell-in purchases from simulated store level sales data 

      Keşrit, Pelin (Bilkent University, 2021-06)
      When a product is put on promotion to increase its sales, this causes a decrease in the sales of another product in the same product group. This phenomenon happens usually when the promoted product is a substitute for the ...
    • Maximizing profit per unit time in cointegration based pairs trading 

      Tutal, Duygu (Bilkent University, 2014)
    • Meal participation prediction with bayesian hierarchical models 

      Kof, Aleyna (Bilkent University, 2021-12)
      Forecasting sales in the catering industry helps authorities to organize daily transactions efficiently to prevent both waste and business loss. In this study, we focused on predicting meal sales in Bilintur Catering Centre ...
    • Missed flight cover design 

      Çelik, Beyza (Bilkent University, 2019-07)
      Missed flight cover is an option with a price and validity period and is a source of ancillary revenues for the airline companies and helps passengers, who missed their flights, resume their journeys at reduced costs. ...
    • Poisson disorder problem with control on costly observations 

      Kadiyala, Bharadwaj (Bilkent University, 2012)
      A Poisson process Xt changes its rate at an unknown and unobservable time θ from λ0 to λ1. Detecting the change time as quickly as possible in an optimal way is described in literature as the Poisson disorder problem. ...
    • Pricing perpetual American-type strangle option for merton's jump diffusion process 

      Onat, Ayşegül (Bilkent University, 2014)
      A stock price Xt evolves according to jump diffusion process with certain parameters. An asset manager who holds a strangle option on that stock, wants to maximize his/her expected payoff over the infinite time horizon. ...
    • Production line calibration with data analysis 

      Taş, İsmail Burak (Bilkent University, 2022-09)
      Product weights can be statistically related to controllable and uncontrollable factors of the production processes. Uncontrollable factors may be correlated with controllable factors. We fitted a response surface approximator ...
