The Information Matrix Tests (IMT) considers as one of the important global goodness of fit test. The IMT provides a unified framework for specification goodness of fit tests for a wide variety of distribution, multivariate or univariate, discrete or continuous. Many researchers discussed the IMT in cases of the outcome covariate is a continuous variable which reported it has reasonable behaviour. This article considers using IMT as a goodness of fit test for the logistic regression mode, to inv...

To transfer a satellite or a spacecraft from a low parking orbit to another orbit requires one of the many orbital transfers. These orbital transfers need to determine some orbital elements of the initial and final orbits as perigee and apogee distances. The transfers compete to achieve the transition with minimal consumption of energy, transfer time, as well as the highest accuracy of transition. In the present research, certain mathematical procedures implementable with the help of computers w...

In this work, a comprehensive framework for traditional outlier detection techniques based on simple and multiple linear regression models was studied. Two data sets were used for the illustration and evaluation of each class of outlier detection techniques (analytical and graphical methods). Outlier detection aims at identifying such outlier in order to improve the analytic of data and suitable model built. Furthermore, comparisons of the different methods were done to highlight the advantages,...

This paper demonstrates the use of Buys-Ballot table for identification of decomposition model using graphical method, when the trend cycle component is quadratic. A suitable ARIMA model was fitted, and was used for forecasting. Using the Buys-Ballot techniques, the column means, variances and standard deviation were estimated for the model identification. The additive model had no seasonal effect but, the multiplicative model had seasonal effect. The result of the illustrative example using the...

Pig pen is fast becoming a very lucrative system of farming in Nigeria, most especially in the South-Eastern region of the country. This form of animal farming is very cost effective and does not need much training before someone ventures into it, as pigs are a very special breed of animals that can eat almost any kind of food, and they do not fall sick easily when compared with chicken poultry or fish poultry business. This paper also discussed how swine breeding could help in addressing enviro...

In this paper, we show how Murty’s ranked linear assignment algorithm can be applied to exactly solve the symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). To increase the Murty algorithm’s computational efficiency in solving the TSP, we develop a simple algorithm that determines whether a node that is generated in Murty’s sequential node partitioning process contains a sub-cycle of length less than n, where n is the number of cities to be visited. Each such node cannot generate a genuine solution, wh...

Economic production quantity (EPQ) research has typically focused on the cost of production processes, but has not employed accurate calculation to assess factors influencing ordering costs, because one of their assumptions is the raw materials that are product timely. However, the production and transport process of raw materials are influencing factors and increase the holding cost of raw materials, either by incre ...

Objective: Construction of risk prediction model for Alzheimer’s disease based on Meta-analysis. Method: Documenting such as CNKI, WanFang database and VIP database, which were published in China from 2010 to 2018 and had data on risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. Meta-analysis of standards compliant literature using RevMan5.3 software and then combine the results to obtain a comprehensive risk for each risk factor, the risk pr ...

The economic production quantity model is widely used as a decision making tool. However, climate change and energy supply instability have raised the transport costs of raw materials, thereby affecting production costs. Therefore, this paper presents a new model that considers the holding costs of raw materials under conditions of two-level trade credit and limited storage capacity. Four theorems are developed to characterize the ...

In most studies related to wind energy, the quantity of the air density is consid-ered constant, but actually, we know that it is variable and depending on others natural factors. We present a new procedure to estimate the wind density power energy by simulating the components of the air density. The procedure uses the copula theory and demonstrates that the estimated power energy is higher if ...
