Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOdds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution: Properties and EstimationRosaiah Kanaparthi, Gadde Srinivasa Rao, Kruthiventi Kalyani, Devireddy Charana Udaya SivakumarWe propose a distribution called Odds Exponential Log Logistic Distribution (OELLD), which is an odds family of distribution. Its hazard rate is an increasing and decreasing function based on the value of the parameter. Explicit expressions for the ordinary moments, L-moments, quantile, generating functions, Bonferroni Curve, Lorenz Curve, Gini's index and order statistics are derived. The parameters of the proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAccess to and Uptake of Contraception by Women with DisabilitiesNatal Ayiga, Stella KigoziContraception has been identified as an imperative for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In poor countries, the need for contraception is highest among the most vulnerable population groups. One such group is women with disabilities. The objectives of this study were to examine uptake of and identify the predictors of use of contraception by women in Uganda with disabilities. The … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2016 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAmino Acid Sequence of Amylase Type Alpha, MiAmy, from Ok-Rong Mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-Rong)Raksmont Ubonbal, Saijai Posoongnoen, Jureerut Daduang et al.The 594-amino acid residue sequence of α-amylase, MiAmy, from the Ok-rong mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-rong), in the ripening stage, was determined through Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Sequence alignments and evolutionary tree analyses revealed its high similarity to plastid α-amylase from many other plants. The sequence was revealed to have four conserved regions with catalytic amino acid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2015 · 7,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Impact of a Letter of Map Amendment on Floodplain Property ValueJames E. LarsenSubstantial empirical evidence indicates properties across the United States that are located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) sell at a discount compared to similar properties otherwise located. This result is also true in our sample. Researchers have suggested the price discount equals a combination of the present value of the required flood insurance premiums and the value of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 14 Aug 2012 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPersistence of Traditional Retailing in an Island TownS. Selvadurai, R. Moorthy, N. Lyndon, A. C. ErProblem statement: The convergence of modern retail formats in the developing world is resisted by the persistence of traditional retail formats. The issue of lower-circuit and middle-circuit in traditional retail trade in the modernizing urban arena has raise debates about its co-existence in different cultural and geographical settings. The aim of this study is to examine the persisting organizational features … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2011 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWheat Production and EconomicsElgilany Ahmed, Jamalludin Sulaiman, Saidatulakmal MohdProblem statement: The crop in the irrigated scheme has faced by manifold problems contributed to low level of productivity and high cost of production of wheat. The crop is commonly produced under pump irrigation from the River Nile. In River Nile State (RNS), wheat is grown under the irrigated sector, the State is considered as a suitable environment for producing … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 10,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Perturbative Approach in Nonlinear Singularity AnalysisTat-Leung YeeProblem statement: The study is devoted to the “mirror” method which enables one to study the integrability of nonlinear differential equations. Approach: A perturbative extension of the mirror method is introduced. Results: The mirror system and its first perturbation are then utilized to gain insights into certain nonlinear equations possessing negative Fuchs indices, which were poorly understood in the literatures. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,334 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExponentiated Exponential Weibull Distribution: Mathematical Properties and ApplicationDawlah AlsulamiAn Exponentiated Exponential Weibull Distribution (EEWD) is proposed. Some statistical properties of the proposed distribution are studied. The Maximum Likelihood method (ML) is applied to estimate the model parameters. The efficiency of the ML estimates of the proposed model is demonstrated using a Monte Carlo simulation study with different samples sizes. Moreover, real data set application is provided to show … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2020 · 7,334 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSome Cubic Transmuted Exponentiated Pareto-1 DistributionHussein EledumIn this study, we introduce two new generalized versions of the Exponentiated Pareto-I distribution called (CTEP-I-G) and (CTEP-I-R). Statistical properties of the two distributions such as reliability function, hazard function, moments and moment generating function are studied. Models parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Finally, an application of CTEP-I-G and CTEP-I-R distributions to two real datasets and compared … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2020 · 6,066 accessesView PDFCite
