As a part of product life cycle management, after process characterization in stage 1 and process qualification and validation in stage-2, CPV is performed as stage-3 validation during commercial manufacturing. CPV ensures that the process continues to remain within a validated state. CPV requires the collection and analysis of data related to critical quality attributes, critical material attributes, and critical process parameters on a minimum basis. Data is then used to elucidate process control regarding the capability to meet predefined specifications and stability via statistical process control (SPC) tools. In SPC, the control charts and Nelson rules are commonly used throughout the industry to monitor and trend data to ensure that a process remains in control. However, basic control charts are susceptible to false alarms and nuisance alarms. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the assumptions behind control charts and the inherent false alarm rates for different Nelson rules. In this article, the authors have detailed the assumptions behind the usage of control charts, the rate of false alarms for different Nelson rules, the impact of skewness and kurtosis of a data distribution on the false alarm rate, and methods for optimizing control chart design by reducing false alarm rates and nuisance signals.","PeriodicalId":422938,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"82 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755392","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}

Under partial differential equations an image is termed as a function; f(x, y), XÎR<sup>2</sup>. The pixel flux is referred to as an edge stopping function since it ensures that diffusion occurs within the image region but zero at the boundaries; u<sub>x</sub>(0, y, t) = u<sub>x</sub>(p, y, t) = u<sub>y</sub>(x, 0, t) = u<sub>y</sub>(x, q, t). Nonlinear PDEs tend to adjust the quality of the image, thus giving images desirable outlooks. In the digital world there is need for images to be smoothened for broadcast purposes, medical display of internal organs i.e MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), study of the galaxy, CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) among others. This model inputs optimization in the smoothening of images. The solutions of the diffusion equations were obtained using iterative algorithms i.e. Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method, Two-point Explicit Group Successive Over-Relaxation (2-EGSOR) and a successive implementation of these two approaches. These schemes were executed in MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) subject to an initial condition of a noisy images characterized by pepper noise, Gaussian noise, Brownian noise, Poisson noise etc. As the algorithms were implemented in MATLAB, the smoothing effect reduced at places with possibilities of being boundaries, the parameters C<sub>v</sub> (pixel flux), C<sub>f</sub> (coefficient of the forcing term), b (the threshold parameter) alongside time t were estimated through optimization. Parameter b maintained the highest value, while C<sub>v</sub> exhibited the lowest value implying that diffusion of pixels within the various images i.e. CCTV, MRI & Galaxy was limited to enhance smoothening. On the other hand the threshold parameter (b) took an escalated value across the images translating to a high level of the force responsible for smoothening.","PeriodicalId":422938,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"18 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753960","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}

Thus, this study fits an appropriate ARCH/GARCH family model to daily stock returns volatility of each of the selected five most traded assets of the oil and gas marketing companies on the Nigerian stock exchange (NSE), using daily closing prices from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2020. First-order symmetric and asymmetric volatility models with the Normal, Student’s t, Skewed Student’s t and generalized error distributions (GED) were fitted to select the best model with the most appropriate error distribution using appropriate model selection criteri EGARCH (1,1) with GEDs was found to be the best-fitted models based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The results indicated the presence of a leverage effect in the series and how the volatility reacts to good news as against bad news implying that positive shock has a higher impact on the returns of the respective companies. Based on the findings it is recommended that, for enhanced precision, GARCH family models with appropriate error distribution be applied in underpinning assets volatility, which in turn would help to better understand the nature of inherent shocks characterizing asset volatility of the respective companies. With such knowledge, appropriate investment decisions are made to guide risk-averse investors in their investments.","PeriodicalId":422938,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116949574","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}

However, the presence of strong correlation between the explanatory variables causes the problem of multicollinearity. Due to multicollinearity, the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) will be inflated causing the parameters estimation to become unstable. Multicollinearity can be tackled by using biased estimators such as the ridge estimator in order to minimize the estimated variance of the regression coefficients. An alternative approach is to specify exact linear restrictions on the parameters in addition to regression model. In this paper, the restricted Poisson ridge regression estimator (RPRRE) is suggested to handle multicollinearity in Poisson regression model with exact linear restrictions on the parameters. In addition, the conditions of superiority of the suggested estimator in comparison to some existing estimators are discussed based on the mean squared error (MSE) matrix criterion. Moreover, a simulation study and a real data application are provided to illustrate the theoretical results. The results indicate that the suggested estimator, RPRRE, outperforms the other existing estimators in terms of scalar mean squared error (SMSE). Therefore, it is recommended to use the RPRRE for the Poisson regression model when the problem of multicollinearity is present.","PeriodicalId":422938,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117138308","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}

Defender often choose a relatively stable market area and take effective actions, such as setting competitive prices or providing high-quality products and services, to actively prevent subsequent competitors from entering this industry. Although different strategic types of enterprises have different business preference, they cannot do without the active cooperation of employees in the process of strategy implementation, because they are the closest to the production and customers. If the incentive mechanism conflicts with employees' interests, employees may respond by leaving. Based on the sample of China's A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2019, this paper uses the fixed effect model to examine the impact of strategy on employee incentive mechanism and turnover rate. The empirical results show that, compared with defender, the pay gap of prospector is higher, and the above phenomenon is more significant in enterprises with lower labor intensity. In addition, prospector will also push up the turnover rate of employees, in which the pay gap plays a mediating role. This conclusion not only enriches the research of strategic theory and compensation contract, but also has some enlightenment for the relevant government departments to develop vocational training to improve employees' skills.","PeriodicalId":422938,"journal":{"name":"Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123200211","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}
