Construction of Neighbour Balanced BIBRC Designs
Abstract: AbstractConstruction of a series of Balance Incomplete Block with nested Rows and Columns (BIBRC) designs having Neighbor Balanced properties has been presented in this paper. The series of BIBRC designs has been developed on the concept of mutually orthogonal mates (MOM’s) of existing BIBRC designs with v as a prime number. The designs thus constructed are found to be first order neighbor balanced with respect to rows, columns as well …

Maternal Health Care Utilization of Married Young Women in Bangladesh
Abstract: AbstractThe study attempts to investigate the health care utilization among married young women during childbirth and postpartum in Bangladesh. The nationwide data of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey-2007 is used to focus on births that occurred in the five years preceding the survey period. The study revealed that during childbirth about 19 percent of respondent received assistance and above 21 percent of mother received postnatal Care (PNC) from medically trained …

Measures of Location for Imprecise Data
Abstract: AbstractStatistical analysis is usually done on data sets that contain precise information. However, data obtained may not be precise always. This may be due to vagueness in the process of measurement itself or due to the values being expressed in linguistic terms. Data that are not precise are referred to as imprecise data or fuzzy data. Developing statistical measures for imprecise data has been pursued by researchers during the past …

Modified Joint Test of Heteroscedasticity and Serial Correlation in a Random Effect Panel Data Model under Restricted Alternatives
Abstract: AbstractIn time series econometric theory, the sign of the parameter may be pre-assigned, that is the parameter may be ordered or restricted. Estimation of this restricted parameter is then a vital problem. If we know the parameters are restricted by some constraints, it is reasonable to expect that we should be able to do better by incorporating such additional information than by ignoring them. The paper concerned with estimating and …

Heteroscedasticity in Survey Data and Model Selection based on Weighted Schwarz-Bayesian Information Criterion
Abstract: AbstractThis paper proposed Weighted Schwarz Bayesian Information criterion for the purpose of selecting a best model from various competing models, when heteroscedasticity is present in the survey data. The authors found that the information loss between the true model and fitted models are equally weighted, instead of giving unequal weights. The computation of weights purely depends on the differential entropy of each sample observation and traditional Schwarz Bayesian information criterion …
