Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Exact Root Algorithm for Computing the Real Roots of an Nth Degree PolynomialE. A. Adebile, V. I. IdokoProblem statement: The need to find an efficient and reliable algorithm for computing the exact real roots of the steady-state polynomial encountered in the investigation of temperature profiles in biological tissues during Microwave heating and other similar cases as found in the literature gave rise to this study. Approach: The algorithm (simply called ERA-Exact Root Algorithm) adopted polynomial deflation technique … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,555 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel for Analyzing Counts with Over-,Equi-and Under-Dispersion in Actuarial StatisticsNaushad Mamode Khan, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode KhanProblem statement: Actuarial science has grown much popularity in the recent years due to the growth of insurance companies. In practice, the data involved in actuarial science are mostly counts which may be over-,equi-or under-dispersed. Many probability distributions were proposed to model such data such as the mixed Poisson distributions. However, the estimation methodologies based on such mixed Poisson distributions … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,602 accessesView PDF Cite

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
