Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Multicollinearity on Power Rates of the Ordinary Least Squares EstimatorsO.O. Alabi, Kayode Ayinde, T.O. OlatayoInferences on the parameter estimates of Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimator in regression model when regressors exhibit multicollinearity is a problem in that large standard errors of the regression coefficients which cause low t-statistic value often result into the acceptance of the null hypothesis. This paper, therefore, makes efforts to investigate the effect of multicollinearity on the power rates of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultistage Median Ranked Set Sampling for Estimating the Population MedianAbdul Aziz Jemain, Amer Al-Omari, Kamarulzaman IbrahimWe modify RSS to come up with new sampling method, namely, Multistage Median Ranked Set Sampling (MMRSS). The MMRSS was suggested for estimating the population median and to increase the efficiency of the estimator for specific value of the sample size. The MMRSS was compared to the Simple Random Sampling (SRS), Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Median Ranked Set Sampling … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,148 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Saturation Induction for Bi-Substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet Prepared Via Sol Gel TechniqueNoorhana Yahya, Goh Kah HeanY3.0-xBixFe5O12 samples (x = 0.2 and 0.4) were prepared via novel sol-gel and conventional solid-state techniques. The effect of bismuth in both techniques was investigated in terms of shrinkage, density, hysteresis and initial permeability. Sharp and clear diffraction XRD lines with highest peak appear at about 32° of the 2θ¸, for all the powders sintered at 900°C and 1250°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,597 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupercritical Fluid Extraction of Palm CarotenoidsPuah C. Wei, Choo Y. May, Ma A. Ngan, Chuah C. HockThe extraction of carotenoids from crude palm oil was carried out in a dynamic (flow- through) supercritical fluid extraction system. The carotenoids obtained were quantified using off-line UV-visible spectrophotometry. The effects of operating pressure and temperature, flow rate of the supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2), sample size of feed used on the solubility of palm carotenoids were investigated. The results showed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,768 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Rotten Fresh-Cut Cauliflowers based on Machine Vision Technology and Watershed Segmentation MethodJianxin Xue, Liang Huang, Bingyu Mu et al.In this study, machine vision technology was used to separate the samples and detect the rotting degrees of fresh-cut cauliflowers. First, the improved watershed algorithm was used for the segmentation of fresh-cut cauliflower samples and the extraction of single-sample. Then, three color models, a gray co-occurrence matrix and two feature extraction algorithms were used to extract the color, texture and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 13 Apr 2022 · 6,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability of Hydraulic Conductivity Due to Multiple FactorsSanjit K. Deb, Manoj K. ShuklaSoil properties are greatly influenced by intrinsic factors of soil formation as well as extrinsic factors associated with land use and management and vary both in time and space. Intrinsic variability is caused by the pedogenesis and usually takes place at large time scales. The variability caused by extrinsic factors could take effect relatively quickly and could not be treated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 13 Aug 2012 · 10,228 accessesView PDFCite
