COMPLEX PROBABILITY THEORY AND PROGNOSTIC

Abdo Abou Jaoude — 2013-12-09

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Published online: 9 December 2013; doi:10.3844/jmssp.2014.1.24

The Kolmogorov’s system of axioms can be extended to encompass the imaginary set of numbers and this by adding to the original five axioms an additional three axioms. Hence, any experiment can thus ...

PERFORMANCE OF RIDGE REGRESSION ESTIMATOR METHODS ON SMALL SAMPLE SIZE BY VARYING CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS: A SIMULATION STUDY

Anwar Fitrianto — 2014-01-03

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Published online: 3 January 2014; doi:10.3844/jmssp.2014.25.29

When independent variables have high linear correlation in a multiple linear regression model, we can have wrong analysis. It happens if we do the multiple linear regression analysis based on common O...

AN EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE OF MULTIPLE IMPUTATION IN NONPARAMETRIC QUANTILE REGRESSION

Yanan Hu — 2014-01-04

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Published online: 4 January 2014; doi:10.3844/jmssp.2014.30.44

In this study, we consider the nonparametric quantile regression model with the covariates Missing at Random (MAR). Multiple imputation is becoming an increasingly popular approach for analyzing missi...

Rezgui Imane — 2014-01-09

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Published online: 9 January 2014; doi:10.3844/jmssp.2014.45.48

In this study, we propose a new method of construction of rectangular Partially Balanced Incomplete Block (PBIB) designs of size k = 2s and 2≤s < l and singular Group Divisible (GD) designs of size ...

LENGTH BIASED BETA-PARETO DISTRIBUTION AND ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES WITH APPLICATION

Nareerat Nanuwong — 2014-01-11

Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Published online: 11 January 2014; doi:10.3844/jmssp.2014.49.57

The concept of length biased distribution can be employed in development of proper models for lifetime data. Its method is adjusting the original probability density function from real data and the ex...

A PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION APPROACH FOR LOW POWER VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION ROUTING
