This thesis presents a comparison between two simulation methods, namely Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). In our literature review we identified a gap in comparing the applicability of these methods to modelling human centric service systems. Hence, we have...

We introduce an approach for incorporating dependence between outcomes from a Poisson regression model, with the possibility of incorporating covariate information. In common with other approaches, we use a latent process to induce correlation between outcomes. Previous approaches have modelled...

June 2005 was to bring online gambling out of the shadows and into the spotlight. PartyGaming, a start-up formed in 1997, launched a flotation (Initial Public Offering) on the London Stock Exchange that valued the firm at 4.64 pound billion giving it a larger market capitalisation than British...

Regression equations between a response variable and candidate explanatory variables are often estimated using a training set of data from closely observed locations but are then applied using covariate data held in a GIS to predict the response variable at locations throughout a region. When...
