Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDoes Over or Under Dispersion in Inverse Binomial Data Suggest Anything? A Case in Point is the Waiting Time for Both Heart-Lung TransplantsRamalingam ShanmugamThe model is an abstraction of the reality. The selection of the usual inverse binomial as an underlying model for the number of patients waiting in months for heart and lung transplant is questionable because the data exhibit not the required balance between the dispersion and its functional equivalent in terms of the mean but rather an over or under … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIs Poisson Dispersion Diluted or Over-Saturated? An Index is Created to AnswerRamalingam ShanmugamA prelude to interpret a pattern in the repeating incidences is to identify the underlying frequency distribution of the collected data. A case in point is the Poisson distribution which is often selected for medical count data such as gene mutations, medication error and number of ambulatory pickups in a day. A requirement for the Poisson distribution is that the … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 24 May 2013 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModel for Analyzing Counts with Over-,Equi-and Under-Dispersion in Actuarial StatisticsNaushad Mamode Khan, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode KhanProblem statement: Actuarial science has grown much popularity in the recent years due to the growth of insurance companies. In practice, the data involved in actuarial science are mostly counts which may be over-,equi-or under-dispersed. Many probability distributions were proposed to model such data such as the mixed Poisson distributions. However, the estimation methodologies based on such mixed Poisson distributions … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApplication of a Statistical Model to Biological Data Analysis: Exclusive BreastfeedingNaushad Mamode Khan, Cheika Jahangeer, Daya Goburdhun, Maleika Heenaye-Mamode KhanProblem statement: Breastfeeding is of utmost importance in the maternal life of a woman, particularly exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life supports optimal growth and development during infancy and reduces the risk of obliterating diseases and problems. Many probability distributions were proposed to model such data such as the mixed Poisson distributions. However, the estimation … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling Heterogeneity in Phase II Clinical TrialsChristopher N. Barnes, Shesh N. RaiProblem statement: The common assumption in non-randomized Phase II clinical trials is a homogeneous population with homogeneous response. This assumption is at odds with many trials today; a heterogeneous response due to the existence of subgroups. Approach: In order to examine the effects of heterogeneity on the trial outcome, a systematic platform is developed to quantify the range and classes … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Electrical Energy Consumption of Some Areas Supplied by the Lomé a Interconnection Station of the CEET in Lomé, Togo: Analysis and DiscussionKrou Iparbè, Palanga Eyouléki Tcheyi Gnadi et al.This study aims to analyze the electricity consumption of Greater Lomé (Togo), a critical issue in view of the increasing needs and imperatives of energy transition. We used 63,943 data samples from the Togo Electric Energy Company (CEET), covering eight sites spread across three municipalities over a period of 84 months (2018-2024). A multidimensional statistical approach was used to evaluate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2026 · 3,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclic Prefix Length Determination for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing System over Different Wireless Channel Models Based on the Maximum Excess Delay SpreadAmar Al-Jzari, Kostanic IvivaCyclic Prefix (CP) is one of the key OFDM parameters. It is used to completely eliminate both Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) as long as the CP length is greater than the channel delay spread. By eliminating the ISI and ICI, the CP compensates for the effect of the multi-path dispersion; but it consumes a considerable amount of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2015 · 8,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultipath Adaptive Packet Dispersion for Voice ApplicationsJ. Faritha Banu, V. RamachandranProblem statement: The quality of Voice over IP applications is decided by the main factors like network capacity and technologies such as codec type, Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) and Forward Error Correction (FEC). Approach: In MPLS networks multiple Label Switched Paths (LSP) are established between MPLS ingress and egress nodes to enhance the network performance and QoS for subscribers. To … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValidation of MIKE 11 Model Simulated Data for Biochemical and Chemical Oxygen Demands TransportMahdieh Eisakhani, Md. Pauzi Abdullah, Othman Abd Karim, Amirhossein MalakahmadProblem statement: The aim of the study was to model the discharge, biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD and COD) loads in each cross section of Bertam River in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands form the headwater catchment for two major rivers of the lowlands; Pahang River and Perak River. On the other hand, Cameron Highlands is undergoing rapid development … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
