In the study of rotatable designs, the variance of the estimated response at a point is a function of the distance of that point from a particular origin. Group divisible Rotatable Designs have been evolved by imposing conditions on the levels of factors in a rotatable design. In...

Quantile regression is a statistical technique intended to estimate, and conduct inference about the conditional quantile functions. Just as the classical linear regression methods estimate model for the conditional mean function, quantile regression offers a mechanism for estima...

The difference between the cost of maintaining the desired permanent workforce (academic staff) and that of maintaining the entire outsourcing policy is a useful index that allows management of private universities to know the financial task before them, well ahead of time for a...

Goodness of fit test is a test that has attracted researchers’ interest over the decades. This study is on goodness of fit test for normal distribution only. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-St) and Pearson’s Chi-square (χ² test) goodness of fit test were used to determine the normality...

Responses collected from dependent clusters are affected by the dependence among clusters and it should be taken into account in modeling such responses. In this study, a new approach was evaluated to incorporate cluster dependence in generalized linear Poisson mixed models for c...

We considered the Bayesian analysis of a shape parameter of the Weibull-Exponential distribution in this paper. We assumed a class of non-informative priors in deriving the corresponding posterior distributions. In particular, the Bayes estimators and associated risks were calcul...

The sex ratio (SR) is usually defined as the number of males per 100 females within an area or, as in this study, the proportion of males among all births (PM). It has been observed that among newborns, there is typically a slight excess number for boys compared to girls. Consequ...

Queuing models applications are centered on the question of finding the ideal level of services, waiting times and queue lengths. The aim of this study is to measure the cost for three models and compare the cost for the three single channel waiting line models instead of finding...
