Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWave Characteristics in Sabah WatersEjria Saleh, Jessie Beliku, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: This study was conducted to identify and compare the wave characteristics in Sabah waters at five different key locations so as to determine the effects of the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) and the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) along the east and west coasts of Sabah. Approach: Monthly wave height and wave period data for 8 years covering offshore areas of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Impact Level and Fruit Properties on Golden Delicious Apple BruisingArzhang Javadi, Ebrahim Ahmadi, Mohammad Hossein Abbaspour-Fard et al.Problem Statement: Bruise damage is a major cause of fruit quality loss. Bruises occur under dynamic and static loading when stress induced in the fruit exceeds the failure stress of the fruit tissue. Statistical bruise estimation models were constructed to calculate Golden Delicious apple bruise volume with respect to fruit properties. Approach: The regression models were built based upon impact … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting the Severity of Breast Masses with Ensemble of Bayesian ClassifiersAlaa M. ElsayadProblem statement: This study evaluated two different Bayesian classifiers; tree augmented Naive Bayes and Markov blanket estimation networks in order to build an ensemble model for prediction the severity of breast masses. The objective of the proposed algorithm was to help physicians in their decisions to perform a breast biopsy on a suspicious lesion seen in a mammogram image or … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures Study on Target Fragmentation in the Collisions Of 24Mg and 28Si with Emulsion Nuclei at 3.7A GeVA. Abd EL-DaiemProblem statement: The process of nuclear fragmentation in interactions of 3.7A GeV 24Mg and 28Si nuclei with the different target nuclei in a nuclear emulsion have been investigated. Approach: The probability of interactions without any projectile fragment with charge Z≥2 is zero for hydrogen target, but increases by increasing the mass of the target. Results: The disruption of a projectile … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNegative Binomial-Lindley Distribution and Its ApplicationHossein Zamani, Noriszura IsmailProblem statement: The modeling of claims count is one of the most important topics in actuarial theory and practice. Many attempts were implemented in expanding the classes of mixed and compound distributions, especially in the distribution of exponential family, resulting in a better fit on count data. In some cases, it is proven that mixed distributions, in particular mixed Poisson … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 15,678 accessesView PDFCite
