On Changepoint Detection in a Series ofStimulus-Response Data
(2017)n this paper, we demonstrate the power of functional data models for a statistic al analysis of stimulus-response experiments which is a quite natural way to look at this kind of data and which makes use of the full ... -
On Derivation of the Probability of Occurrence of an Epidemic with Application to HIV/AIDS Spread Given Tuberculosis Co-infections in the Presence of Treatment
(Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2017)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) infections are two major world’s public health problems especially in developing countries. Worldwide, 13% of TB cases are estimated to be co-infected ... -
On irreducible representations of Sn
(2009)In chapter 1 and 2, We begin by introducing a few elementary aspects of the symmetric group Sn and there after we give a brief discussion on the representation theory with emphasis on the symmetric group. In chapter ... -
ON LOCAL LINEAR REGRESSION ESTIMATION IN SAMPLING SURVEYS
(Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics, 2017)A model based survey is employed to estimate the unknown values of the survey variable, using the local linear regression approach. In particular, a local linear regression estimator in model based surveys is studied. ... -
