Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsADAPTIVE CLUSTER SAMPLING USING AUXILIARY VARIABLENipaporn ChutimanIn this study we study the estimators of the population mean in adaptive cluster sampling by using the information of the auxiliary variable. The estimators in this study are the classical ratio estimator, the ratio estimator using the population coefficient of variation and the coefficient of kurtosis of the auxiliary variable, the regression estimator and the difference estimator. Simulations showed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 9,894 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Infrastructure Development on Income Generation: A Study on Jamuna Bridge Project in BangladeshShaikh MoniruzzamanThis research is an attempt to examine the impact of infrastructure development on income generation in the north eastern region of Bangladesh which enjoyed a wide range of amenities after the construction of Jamuna Bridge in 1998. The application of 'difference in difference estimator' using the pooled household level income data of the treatment and control area in the pre … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,365 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE EFFICIENCY OF EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD WITH NUISANCE PARAMETERSXing WangIn this study we check the asymptotic efficiency of empirical likelihood in the presence of nuisance parameters combined with augmented moment conditions. We show that in the presence of nuisance parameters, the asymptotic efficiency of the empirical likelihood estimator of the parameter of interest will increase by adding more moment conditions, in the sense of the positive semidefiniteness of the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2014 · 6,791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestment, Taxes and the Cost of Capital: An Euler Equation Specification TestHuntley SchallerProblem statement: Previous studies (primarily employing goodness-of-fit tests) have found it difficult to provide clear and direct evidence that taxes and the interest rate have a strong influence on investment. Approach: The objective of this study was to test whether the cost of capital, which includes taxes and the interest rate, affects investment. This study used the Euler equation for … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,616 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Estimator-Based Wireless Traffic Control SchemesFrancis Joseph Ogwu, Mohammad Talib, Ganiyu Adesola AderounmuRecent works on Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic control have generated efficient control schemes for ABR traffic on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. This study examines the improved performance envisaged if these control schemes adjust dynamically to the varying ABR bandwidth capacity in a stochastic manner instead of conventional deterministic approach .The performance difference between setting explicit rate deterministically for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,099 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Step Robust Diagnostic Method for Identification of Multiple High Leverage PointsArezoo Bagheri, Habshah Midi, A.H.M. Rahmatullah ImonProblem statement: High leverage points are extreme outliers in the X-direction. In regression analysis, the detection of these leverage points becomes important due to their arbitrary large effects on the estimations as well as multicollinearity problems. Mahalanobis Distance (MD) has been used as a diagnostic tool for identification of outliers in multivariate analysis where it finds the distance between normal … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,306 accessesView PDF Cite
