Meanwhile, households with tuberculosis patients in Surabaya tend to classify as food-insecure. This study conduct a classification of households with tuberculosis patients food security in Surabaya by using Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Adaptive Resampling and Combining (ARCING). The purpose of this study is to know the influential factor of households food security and the accuracy of its classification. As the result, the way households obtain foods is the most influential factor of Indonesian food security in Surabaya. Other than that, this study shows that accuracy when using ARCING is higher than CART.","PeriodicalId":41981,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"82 1","pages":"141-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80567748","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}

The added flexibility allows for the removal of redundancy in the overall process, which decreases the amount of data to process; thus, the efficiency of the prime number generator is significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":41981,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"4 1","pages":"119-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90247163","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}

More specifically, we investigate the advantage of using a new method to estimate a bunch of non-crossing quantile regressions hyperplanes. The main tool is a weighting system of the data elements that aims to reduce the effect of contamination of the sampled population on the estimated parameters by diminishing the effect of outliers. The performances of the new estimators are evaluated on a number of data sets. We had considerable success with avoiding intersections and in the same time improving the global fitting of conditional quantile regressions. We conjecture that in other situations (e.g., data with high level of skewness, non-constant variances, unusual and imputed data) the method of weighted non-crossing quantiles will lead to estimators with good robustness properties.","PeriodicalId":41981,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"1 1","pages":"107-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89621721","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}

Over the years, several variance reduction techniques have been developed to curb the instability, as well as, increase the simulation e?ciencies of the Monte-Carlo methods. Our approach in this research work will consider the use of antithetic variate techniques to estimate the fair prices of barrier options. Next, we use the quasi-Monte Carlo method, together with Sobol sequence to estimate the values of the same option. An extended version of the Black-Scholes model will serve as basis for the exact prices of these exotic options. The resulting simulated prices will be compared to the exact prices. The research concludes by showing some results which proves that when random numbers are generated via low discrepancy sequences in contrast to the normal pseudo-random numbers, a more efficient simulation method is ensued. This is further applicable in pricing complex derivatives without closed formsolutions.","PeriodicalId":41981,"journal":{"name":"Jordan Journal of Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"146 1","pages":"94-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88644612","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}

Through the additional parameters we can fully control the type of the resulting family. This method is applied to yield a new two-parameter extension of the bivariate standard normal distribution, denoted by BSSN. The statistical properties of the BSSN family are studied. Moreover, via a mixture of the BSSN family and the standard bivariate logistic df, we get a more capable family, denoted by FBSSN. Theoretically, each of the marginals of the FBSSN contains all the possible types of df's with respect to the signs of skewness and excess kurtosis. In addition, each possesses very wide range of the indices of skewness and kurtosis. Finally, we compare the families BSSN and FBSSN with some important competitors (i.e., some generalized families of bivariate df's) via real data examples.
