    Abstract: This paper explores the application of artificial neural network in volatility forecasting. A recurrent neural network has been integrated in to GARCH model to form the hybrid model called GARCH-Neural model. The emphasis of the research is to investigate the performance of the variants of Backpropagation algorithms in training the proposed GARCH-n... Show More

    Abstract: Ultra wideband technology is a more precise indoor positioning technology. But the UWB positioning output would be unstable if the signal from base station were blocked. The low cost inertial positioning is a method to make up a method for indoor navigation. However, the positioning error will accumulate quickly due to the low cost inertial measure... Show More

    Abstract: This paper considers the analyses and forecasting of the monthly All-items (Year-on-Year change) Inflation Rates in Nigeria. The data used for this study are monthly All-items Inflation rates from 2000 to 2015 collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria. Analyses reveal that the Inflation rates of Nigeria are seasonal and follow a seasonal ARIMA Mod... Show More

    Abstract: In the studies in literature up to date arithmetic population mean of auxiliary variable is used to obtain the proportional estimators. In this paper geometric mean, harmonic mean and quadratic mean is used as well as arithmetic population mean. Using geometric mean, harmonic mean and quadratic mean do not affect the variance of ratio estimator ().... Show More
