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 …

Infrared Radiation: A Non-Invasive Approach to Cholesterol Measurement
Abstract: Cholesterol levels and Diabetes have become prevalent worldwide. People who are physically disabled or unresponsive need to have their glucose and cholesterol levels constantly checked because it is hard to get accurate readings through invasive procedures or blood samples. Based on the proposed model, Hyperglycemia and Cholesterol amounts might be found without touching or taking blood specimens. The Arduino UNO and basic infrared sensors are used to make this happen. …
