Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Statistical Model to Biological Data Analysis: Exclusive BreastfeedingNaushad Mamode Khan, Cheika Jahangeer, Daya Goburdhun, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode KhanProblem statement: Breastfeeding is of utmost importance in the maternal life of a woman, particularly exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life supports optimal growth and development during infancy and reduces the risk of obliterating diseases and problems. Many probability distributions were proposed to model such data such as the mixed Poisson distributions. However, the estimation … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,818 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecomposition of Marginal Homogeneity into Logit and Mean Ridits Equality for Square Contingency TablesKiyotaka Iki, Kouji Tahata, Sadao TomizawaProblem statement: For square contingency tables with ordered categories, if the Marginal Homogeneity (MH) model holds, then the probability that X selected at random from the row marginal distribution is less than Y selected independently at random from the column marginal distribution equals the probability that X is greater than Y. However, the converse does not hold. We are interested … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,297 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayes Estimation of the Lifetime Parameters for the Exponential DistributionAhmed A. Abu-Taleb, Mahmoud M. Smadi, Ameen J. AlawnehBayes estimation for the parameters of the lifetime distribution when both survival and censoring time are exponentially distributed were studied. The marginal posteriors, Bayes estimates and credible sets were derived using conjugate priors. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,297 accessesView PDF Cite
