Comparative Assessment of Tropical Basins in the Savanna and Rain Forest Ecological Zones for Crop Production in Nigeria
Abstract: AbstractThis paper reviews the precarious situation of agricultural production in Africa and Nigeria specifically, in line with the emerging concepts of geoinformatics, precision farming and sustainable agricultural intensification. To illustrate the feasibility of operationalising these concepts in Nigeria, Ikpoba and Orle River basins (that are of the rain forest and savannah ecological zones, respectively) were classified into land suitability zones for the optimum cultivation of maize, cassava, yam and oil …

Kanuri in Diaspora: A Historical Survey
Abstract: The study of place names which typically refers to the form of a place, its geographical quality, its situation in relation to water, its position, its flora or its fauna, often refers also to human uses to which the land was put; they commemorate events, or they are named after deities. Toponymic studies not only illustrate ethnic settlements but can also help identify discrete periods of the immigrations of people …

An Assessment of some Ferns of the Polypodiaceae Family from Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh with Reference to their Morphological and Ethnobotanical Aspects
Abstract: Pteridophytes represent a category of seedless plants that reproduce through spores. This group is divided into two lineages: lycophytes, characterized by fronds with no leaf gap in the stem stele (Lycophylls), and Monilophytes, commonly known as ferns, which have fronds with a leaf gap in the stem stele. The Himalayan Region in India stands out globally for its distinctive topography, extensive altitudinal range, diverse climate, and varied habitats. Pteridophytes play …

A Machine Learning Approach for Investigating Spatial Structures between Spectral line Sources: Formaldehyde Absorptions versus Methanol Masers
Abstract: In this paper the authors present fascinating ideas on using machine learning algorithms to study connections in spatial distributions between observed spectral line sources. The method has been illustrated using observations of 4.8 GHz formaldehyde absorptions and 6.7 GHz methanol masers in the Galaxy. Both spectral line features have been well-observed in close associations with galactic star-formation regions, and we initiate this study to understand spatial connections between them. We …

Designing Reliability Single Sampling Plans based on Exponentiated Rayleigh Distribution
Abstract: Reliability sampling plans are used in manufacturing industries to take decision on the disposition of lots of finished products based on the information obtained from concerned life test. Among various schemes, hybrid censoring scheme is applied with an objective of saving both time and cost of inspecting the products simultaneously. Parameters of the reliability sampling plans under hybrid censoring scheme are determined corresponding to the lifetime distribution. Exponential, Weibull, Rayleigh …

Least Squares and Weighted Least Squares Median Rank Estimation Method for an Inverse Weibull Distribution for Progressively Type-II Censored Samples
Abstract: Inverse Weibull distribution is non-monotonic and unimodal hazard function distribution having wider application in reliability and life testing. Reciprocal of a random variable distributed according to the Weibull distribution has the inverse Weibull distribution. This paper attempts to study the classical approach for parameter estimation of inverse Weibull distribution under progressive type II censoring. Least square median rank estimator and weighted least square median rank estimator are derived, it admits …

Model Based Clustering using Finite Mixture Models of Lognormal Distribution
Abstract: AbstractModel-based clustering consists of fitting a mixture model to data and identifying cluster with its components. This study discusses model-based clustering using a finite mixture of a univariate lognormal distribution with k components. In this study, lognormal mixture models for skewed data and also the estimation of mixing proportion by distance-based clustering have been considered. Parameter estimation is carried out by expectation maximization (EM) algorithm using different initialization approach using …

An Exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov Test for the Negative Binomial Distribution with Unknown Probability of Success
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, we develop an exact Kolmogorov–Smirnov goodness-of-fit test in the case of negative binomial distribution with an unknown probability of success. This test is conditional, with the test statistic being the maximum absolute difference between the empirical distribution function and its conditional expectation given the sample total. The results are not asymptotic, but exact. We illustrate the test with three examples in case the size parameter equals one …

Job Sequencing with Fuzzy Processing Times using Credibility Theory
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, a new algorithm to find an optimal sequence of ‘ n ’ jobs that has to be processed through ‘m ’ machines is developed by treating the processing times of jobs on the machines as fuzzy (imprecise) variables. The algorithm is similar to that of Johnson (1954) which considers the processing times as precise in nature. The proposed algorithm makes use of the concepts of ‘Credibility Theory’ …

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 …

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 …
