    Abstract: In many sampling involving non negative integer data, the zeros are observed to be significantly higher than the expected assumed model. Such models are called zero-one inflated models. The zero inflated Poisson distribution was recently considered and studied due to its empirical needs and application. In this paper, an extension to the case of ze... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, we study a first order random coefficient autoregressive model with Laplace distribution as marginal. A random coefficient moving average model of order one with Laplace as marginal distribution is introduced and its properties are studied. By combining the two models, we develop a first order random coefficient autoregressive moving... Show More

    Abstract: We develop a model to determine an optimal investment strategy to improve the performance of undergraduate students in the US. Our model has three parts: In the first part, we collect data about the focus of other foundations’ investment by subjects and locations. We consider the charitable identity of the Goodgrant as well. Then we set out to deci... Show More

    Abstract: In India, caste system through economic condition has strong roots in society and it affects the environment in which migration decision takes place. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the trends in rural adult out migration at the household level for different regions to understand the pattern of risk of adult out migration. So... Show More

    Abstract: This paper investigated in covariate adaptive randomization designs, which are used to reduce covariate variables imbalance between treatments in clinical trials. Critical percentage and imbalance minimization methods are compared each one to another, and both are compared with pure randomization method in term of imbalance. The comparison is inten...

    Abstract: In the field of healthscinece, the problem will arise when monitoring the incidence rate of an event is very small. There are only few statistical methods available for the investigation of rare health events. Apart from the first quality control chart introduced by Shewhart, the best well known surveillance procedures are based on the CUSUM method... Show More
