A Pólya-Gamma Sampler for a Generalized Logistic Regression
In this paper we introduce a novel Bayesian data augmentation approach for estimating the parameters of the generalised logistic regression model. We propose a P\'olya-Gamma sampler algorithm that allows us to sample from ... -
Bayesian Multivariate Nonlinear State Space Copula Models
In this paper we propose a flexible class of multivariate nonlinear non-Gaussian state space models, based on copulas. More precisely, we assume that the observation equation and the state equation are defined by copula ... -

The use of the Personal Response System (PRS) at King Khalid University for learning development
(University of Plymouth, 2019)This study will evaluate the use of the Personal Response System (PRS) to increase interactivity in the classroom and change the form of learning from transmissive to constructive learning in Saudi Higher Education. PRS ... -
The Perceived Effectiveness of Brief Psychological Techniques for Acute Postoperative Pain
(University of Plymouth, 2019)Postoperative pain is still a challenge and patients are still suffering from postoperative pain, despite the administration of multiple analgesic methods for treating pain. In a systematic review and meta-analysis I found ... -
Development, modelling and analysis of Vacuum Assisted Multipoint Moulding for manufacturing fibre-reinforced plastic composites
(University of Plymouth, 2019)Multipoint tooling is a mould making technology that enables the rapid reconfiguration of a mould to create individual components. It replaces the commonly used, elaborately designed, and costly manufactured solid die, ... -
How do children’s personal narratives influence their choices at school?
(University of Plymouth, 2019)The main empirical research question of this thesis is: how do children’s personal narratives influence their choices at school and more broadly? This question is supported by supplementary research questions which are ...
