Due to non-availability of co mp lete and reliable data, a large nu mber of indirect techniques have been developed to estimate the demographic parameters with incomp lete data. So me of these techniques are based on utilizing the data fro m stable population theory while others are based on the regression technique in which the parameters are estimated through regression equations between the dependent variable which is the TFR and the independent variables which is the socio economic well as demographic variables. In the present paper an indirect method has been proposed to estimate the TFR using regression analysis. In these types of analysis the most serious problem is the choice of predictor variable. If the choice of predictor variab le is good then it gives the better estimate for the dependent variable (TFR). Using new predictor variab le (proposed in this paper), the improved model exp lained about 85 percent of the variation in TFR. The findings reveal that the values of TFR calculated by the present method are quite close to the observed values of the TFR without involving much computational comp lexities at state level for different background characteristics. By using this modified estimate of TFR, the demographers can easily calculate the birth averted for different regions as well as states also.","PeriodicalId":91518,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88888351","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 aim of this study is to demonstrate how basic concepts in information theory apply to the problem of quantifying major depressive disorder diagnostic test performance. In this study, the per- formances of the Dexamethasone Suppression Test-DST and the Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Test-TSH, two of the di- agnosis tests of Major Depressive Disorder, are evaluated with the method of Information Theory. The amount of informa- tion gained by performing a diagnostic test can be quantified by calculating the relative entropy between the posttest and pretest probability distributions. And also demonstrates that diagnostic test performance can be quantified as the average amount of information the test result provides about the disease state. It is aimed that this study will hopefully give various points of view to the researchers who want to make research on this subject by explaining how the tests used for the diag- nosis of various diseases are evaluated with this way.","PeriodicalId":91518,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77690057","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 set out to find answer to the question: was agriculture really neglected as a result of the oilboom? The study took a historical per- spective to trace the path of capital expenditure allocations to the agricultural sector in Nigeria. Secondary data on planned capital expenditure allocation to the agriculture sector before and during the oilboom period; and the budget estimates of capital expenditure allocations to the Agriculture, Water Resources, Health, Education and Defence sectors in Nigeria during the oil boom period 1977-1983 were sourced and used. Graphic descriptive statistics and the one-way analysis of variance technique were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The Tukey's Multiple Comparison method w as employed to determine which mean(s) differ, in both cases, in the one-way analysis of variance tests conducted. The empirical findings of the study indicate significant increase in the quantity of capital expenditure allocation to the agriculture sector during the oilboom period; and that more capital expenditure was allocated to the agriculture sector than was allocated to either of Health, Education or Defence sectors in Nigeria during the oilboom period. Thus, it concluded that the decline in agricultural production in Nigeria was, statistically, not attributable to the neglect of the agricultural sector resulting from oil boom. The reason could be as a manifestation of Dutch Disease, Natural Resource Curse, Rent Seeking phenomenom, or something else.","PeriodicalId":91518,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72398743","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}
