Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,873 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDividend Maximization in the Cramer-Lundberg Model using Homotopy Analysis MethodJuma Kasozi, Fred Mayambala, Charles Wilson MaheraProblem statement: We used the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to numerically compute the value function of the dividend payment in the basic insurance process. Approach: The process is a constant income stream from premiums which is subtracted a claim process of the Poisson type. Further, an allowance for payment of dividends to share holders was incorporated. Results: The case when … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,018 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBayesian Approach to the Estimation of a Poisson Mean with Application to NBA Three Point AttemptsPatricia Pepple WilliamsonBayesian Credible Intervals are proposed for a Poisson mean. These intervals are compared to five classical confidence intervals found in the literature. A simulation study is performed to compare the procedures using two different criteria and it is attempted to determine which of the procedures performs best for various values of the parameter and sample size. Estimation of the number … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2018 · 7,089 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Study of Load Sharing in Roller-Bearing Contact by Caustics and PhotoelasticityKonstandinos G. Raptis, George A. Papadopoulos, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Andonios D. TsolakisProblem statement: In this study a comprehensive methodology for calculating load sharing in Roller-bearing contact was presented based on the experimental stress-optical method of caustics and Photoelasticity. Approach: The theoretical equations describing the geometry of transmitted caustic in relation to the length of the contact zone were derived and a simple mathematical set of equations correlating the maximum diameter of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,397 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOpen Circuit Field Distribution and Induced Voltage of a Cylindrical Permanent Magnet Linear GeneratorWijono, Hamzah ArofThis paper deals with the analytical computation of the magnetic field of a cylindrical permanent magnet linear generator. It offers an alternative solution to the magnetic field problem. A new approach to solve Poisson equation using Struve function is introduced and it offers a simple but accurate analytical estimation to the calculation of the open circuit flux density and induced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,191 accessesView PDF Cite
