Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Use of Real Options Methodology to Pasturelands EvaluationA. Michailidis, F. Chatzitheodoridis, I. Mountousis, K. PapanikolaouThis study demonstrates the utility of the real options approach to pasturelands investment analysis. The main objectives are to discuss the real options theory and show how it can be adopted to model uncertainty and managerial flexibility in pasture management (enlargement plan) and investment. Secondly, we show how to calculate the option values of selected options that may be available … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimating the Optimal Farm Size under Uncertainty: an Application of Real Options MethodologyAnastasios Ch. Michailidis, Konstadinos A. MattasFarm structure and optimal farm size have always attracted the interest of research as they constitute some of the intense problems of farm efficiency and farm income. Although several approached have been employed to handle with this problem a real options approach can significantly contribute on this matter. This article provides an empirical example of applying real options approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Models for Reconstruction of Rainfall Fields in a Cloud Seeding ExperimentSujit k. sahu, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, Arianna orasi, Kanti V. MardiaIn response to the drought experienced in Southern Italy a rain seeding project has been setup and developed during the years 1989-1994. The initiative was taken with the purpose of applying existing methods of rain enhancement technology to regions of south Italy including Puglia. The aim of this study is to provide statistical support for the evaluation of the experimental … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomobile Spray Paint Dust and Human Health: A Multi-Site Environmental Health Risk Assessment of Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Effects in South-Eastern NigeriaAdindu Ihuoma Blossom, Ubouh Emmanuel Attah, Obasi Kalu Omokorie, Raimi Morufu OlalekanInformal automobile spray-painting operations release metal-laden dust, posing occupational and residential health risks. Seasonal variations, receptor-specific exposure, and metal composition influence non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards, yet data from South-Eastern Nigeria remain limited. This study quantified heavy-metal exposure in automobile spray-paint dust, assessed receptor-specific non-carcinogenic (HI) and carcinogenic (ILCR) risks, examined seasonal and metal-specific trends, and evaluated source attribution to inform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Estimation for Lomax Distribution: A Comparison of Loss Functions Using Jeffreys PriorsHuda Mohammed AlomariThis study investigates the estimation of the shape parameter for the Lomax distribution using complete data. We compare the performance of the classical Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method against the Bayesian framework. Within the Bayesian approach, three distinct loss functions were utilized: the linear exponential (LINEX), general entropy, and weighted general entropy loss functions. The precision of these estimators was … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2025 · 2,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in the Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Using Real Time PCR in South Korea (2020-2024)Yonghee Lee, Yoo Na Chung, Jae Kyung KimClostridioides difficile is a major cause of infection in healthcare settings, and frequent antibiotic use exacerbates its occurrence. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a major public-health challenge owing to its complications and high mortality rate. We aimed to analyze current trends in C. difficile prevalence. This study was a retrospective, single center analysis of 7,371 samples from April 2020 to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 3 Oct 2025 · 2,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Method for Fast and Robust Intensity Based 2D/3D Registration in Differentiable FrameworkAgung Alfiansyah, Izzati Muhimmah, Arif Sasongko et al.This study introduces an innovative intensity-based registration method designed to align 3D image data volumes, such as Computed Tomography (CT), with 2D data, such as X-ray images, a crucial component of intra-operative navigation in image-guided surgery. Leveraging advanced autodifferentiable reconstruction techniques based on the GPU-accelerated Siddon algorithm, the proposed approach facilitates the generation of differentiable Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs), enabling … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 12 · 24 Oct 2024 · 4,825 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Data Using Non-Identifiable Multivariate Probit ModelsXiao ZhangMultivariate probit models have been explored foranalyzing longitudinal ordinal data. However, the inherent identification issuein multivariate probit models requires the covariance matrix of the underlyinglatent multivariate normal variables to be a correlation matrix and thushinders the development of efficient Bayesian sampling methods. It is knownthat non-identifiable models may produce Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)samplers with better convergence and mixing than … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Nov 2022 · 6,047 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExponentiated 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 abstractJoint Modelling of Longitudinal-Time-To-Event with Categorical Variable Indicators of Latent Classes: Application to Tuberculosis DataAdeboye Azeez, Mutambayi Ruffin, Ndege James, Qin YongsongIn many clinical and reliability research reports, the outcomes of basic interest is the time to a particular event happens in order to indicate the person’s “true” state of health or survival status. Different models have been used to analyze such data separately, but may be unsuitable if the longitudinal and health status measures are correlated. In this study, mixed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Jun 2020 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
