Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHospital Water Supply as a Potential Source of Opportunistic PathogensH. T. El-Zanfaly, N. A. Hassanean, E. M. Hassan, L. I. El-SeadawyIn Egypt as well as in many other developing countries, there are no specific standards for hospital water. Even water is free from the traditional bacterial indicators, it may represent a source of health hazards especially for elderly, children and patients under dialysis due to the presence of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. The study was carried out on the bacteriological water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTilted Beta Binomial Linear Regression Model: A Bayesian ApproachEdilberto Cepeda-Cuervo, Maria Victoria Cifuentes-AmadoThis paper proposes new linear regression models to deal with overdispersed binomial datasets. These new models, called tilted beta binomial regression models, are defined from the tilted beta binomial distribution, proposed assuming that the parameter of the binomial distribution follows a tilted beta distribution. As a particular case of this regression models, we propose the beta rectangular binomial regression models, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2020 · 8,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywords"BIVARIATE DISTRIBUTION" FOR INFRASTRUCTURES AMONG OPERATIVE, NATURAL AND NO MENOPAUSESRamalingam ShanmugamMenopause is not an illness but rather an important event as it changes the body physiology and mental cognition via hormonal changes. During data analysis of menopauses incidence data, new bivariate distribution is discovered. Their marginal, conditional distribution and statistical properties including the inter and partial correlations are explored and utilized to interpret menopauses data. A likelihood ratio hypothesis testing … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2014 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite

These zones are strategically positioned to elevate indoor air quality and comfort through the intelligent utilization of HVAC systems. However, accurately measuring the cooling loads within these zones, which are inherently influenced by the presence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2023 · 6,158 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Zero-Inflated Models with Missing DataT. Martin Lukusa, Shen-Ming Lee, Chin-Shang LiThe literature of count regression models covers a large scope of studies and applications that implemented simple and standard models for count response variables by using Poisson regression models, binomial regression models, negative binomial regression models, geometric regression models, or generalized Poisson regression models. These regression models have received considerable attention in various situations. Nevertheless in many fields, the distribution … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Oct 2017 · 14,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBivariate Poisson-Lindley Distribution with ApplicationHossein Zamani, Pouya Faroughi, Noriszura IsmailThis study applies a Bivariate Poisson-Lindley (BPL) distribution for modeling dependent and over-dispersed count data. The advantage of using this form of BPL distribution is that the correlation coefficient can be positive, zero or negative, depending on the multiplicative factor parameter. Several properties such as mean, variance and correlation coefficient of the BPL distribution are discussed. A numerical example is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2015 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
