Even though Ghana has conducted several successful elections to elect presidents, the outcomes of the elections have been challenged in courts on allegations of vote rigging and fraud. It has been established in the literature that for an election to be anomaly free, the following should be satisfied: the distribution of voters turn-out, the winners’ share and total valid votes cast in the election should be uni-modal. Therefore, we assess the applicability of both first and second digits-based tests to aid in the detection of possible anomaly in the 2016 and 2020 presidential election results data in Ghana. The Benford frequency distribution and Spearman rank correlation coefficient tests were used for the analysis of data obtained from the Electoral Commission of Ghana. The results show that the observed first digits distributions of valid vote counts for both New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC), and the total valid votes cast (TVVC), in 2016 and 2020 are consistent with the distributional pattern of first digits postulated by Benford’s Law. However, the findings of the distribution of second digits of the valid vote counts for NPP and total valid vote cast in both 2016 and 2020 elections do not satisfy the probability distributional pattern of second digits according to the Benford’s Law. In view of these, we recommend using the first two digits-based tests to check for consistency of possible election anomaly between the first and second digits since it conveys more information.","PeriodicalId":35000,"journal":{"name":"Model Assisted Statistics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49508632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a systematic approach to identify customer needs for a Master’s Degree Program in Industrial Engineering based on target students’ needs in the view of new product development. The approach consists of two methods: Choice-based conjoint analysis and Kano model. Conjoint analysis is used to explore important scores of each attribute of the program, i.e., specialist concentration, class period, research type, teaching language, teaching format, and tuition fee. Also, the popularity of levels in each attribute are identified. Latent class model is used to identify different clusters of target customers. The result indicates two different segments of different preferences. The heterogeneity of needs and preference is characterized mainly in levels of specialist concentration preference as well as other attributes such as tuition fee. Other attributes such as interdisciplinary, cooperate program, work experience requirement and group (with presence/absence option) are analyzed by Kano model to identify their categories, i.e., how important they are. This research contributes in the literature as a pioneer in applying these two methods to gain customer perception insights about new Master’s curriculum development for education industry.","PeriodicalId":35000,"journal":{"name":"Model Assisted Statistics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45015802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No effort is made to analyze biological or medical characteristics of the pandemic. We use open data provided by CDC, U.S. state governments and Johns Hopkins University. In the first part of the paper, we suggest time series analysis (ARIMA) for weekly excess U.S. mortality in 2020 as compared to several previous years’ experience in order to build a statistical model and provide short-term forecast based exclusively on historical mortality data. In the second half of the paper, we also analyze weekly COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths in 2020 and 2021. Two midwestern states, Minnesota and Wisconsin, along with geographically diverse Colorado and Georgia, are used to illustrate global and local patterns in the COVID pandemic data. We suggest vector autoregression (VAR) as a method of simultaneous explanatory and predictive analysis of several variables. VAR is a popular tool in econometrics and financial analysis, but it is less common in problems of risk management related to mortality analysis in epidemiology and actuarial practice. Efficiency of short-term forecast is illustrated by observing the effect of vaccination on COVID development in the state of Minnesota in 2021.","PeriodicalId":35000,"journal":{"name":"Model Assisted Statistics and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49004379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
