However, lack of relevant and reliable information is one of the many problems facing investors in making investment decisions in developing economies. Therefore, this...
44. Modified Techniques For Modelling Survival Data With Competing Risks
A major drawback of traditional Cox Proportional Hazard (CPH) technique for modeling survival data is its inability to identify and classify subjects based on their inherent biological associations with respective risk endpoints as well as its inability to model the possible interaction effects...
45. Development And Application Of Zero-truncated Probability Mass Function Of The Com-binomial Distribution
The major problem in modeling count data is over-dispersion, which occurs as a result of long tail, too many occurrences of zeros or none occurrence than would normally be expected by Poisson and binomial distributions. The zero-truncated distributions arise in those situations where there is no...

A binary block design of size D(t,b,k,r) has ttreatments, set out in b blocks, each block having kunits, and each treatment occurring once or not at all in each block and r=bk/t the number of replicates. The focus in every experimental situation is to search for a design that provides maximum...
53. Development Of Hybrid Meta-heuristic Algorithm For Solving Np-hard Combinatorial Office Space Allocation (osa) Problem In A Nigeria University
Office Space Allocation (OSA) is a major problem in higher institutions of learning. As a result of this problem, most of the demanding entities (staff) are wrongly allocated. The problem of OSA is considered to be Non-Polynomial (NP)-Hard combinatorial optimization problem which has been attended...
