Acknowledgments

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone that has assisted this project throughout its process. The continuous constructive support from Professor Brian Klinkenberg and Alex Mitchell have allowed me to better understand this field of study, to continue improving my skills and to always question if there is a better approach for analysis. I am also thankful for the time, and feedback Sam Walker, Grace Newton, and Peter Whitman have given to this project even though it is out of their scope of the responsible.
