The mean monthly temperature of Uyo Metropolis consisting of 180 data points (1991 – 2006) are collected for the study. The parameter estimates of the Fourier series model are obtained by ordinary least squares method in multiple regression. The test of significance of the general model and parameters indicate that the model is statistically significant and the significant parameters provide a Fourier series model of the form: 26.82-1.163cosωt - 0.169 sinωt + 0.133cos2ωt +0.164sin2ωt - 0.116sin4ωt + 0.255et-1. The P – P plot is also used to test for the overall goodness-of-fit and it is found out that the model fits well to the data and can be used to forcast the future values of the data.

Given the nonempty Core of an N-person cooperative game, both optimal allocation procedures consider that one point of the Core is more efficient than the other points of the Core while the approaches to choosing the efficient allocation differ. Whereas Shapley employed the marginal contribution of the players into the game to achieve his aim, Schmeidler employed the extent of dissatisfaction to achieve his own aim. To choose the “best” of the optimal allocations, the Standard error and Coefficient of Variation of solutions were used to discriminate between the two procedures. When the two approaches were applied to the same sets of data, the Shapley value method produced smaller standard errors and coefficients of variation than the Nucleolus method. The Shapley value approach was therefore chosen as the better one for allocation (the value of the game) to an N-person cooperative game.
