Estimating the cost of care giving on caregivers for people living with HIV and AIDS in Botswana: a cross-sectional study
(BioMed Central, www.biomedcentral.com, 2010)
Background: Community home-based care is the Botswana Government's preferred means of providing care for people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, primary (family members) or volunteer (community members) caregivers experience ...
Algorithm-I on splitting of sizes for sampling procedure with inclusion probabilities proportional to size
(International Science Congress Association, www.isca.in/, 2016-07)
The sampling scheme proposed by Srivastava and Singh depends upon a specific split of the sizes and most of the πij′s do not satisfy the condition of non-negativity of variance estimates as suggested by Hanurav. Using the ...
Inclusion probabilities proportional to size sampling scheme based on splitting of sizes
(International Science Congress Association, www.isca.in/, 2015-11)
Srivastava and Singh2 suggested inclusion probabilities proportional to size (IPPS or πPS) sampling scheme which depends upon a specific split of the sizes named as initial split. Each split provides a πPS sampling design ...
Modeling severity of tuberculosis as a multiple cause of death in South Africa
(Scientific Research, www.scirp.org/, 2014)
The multiple cause of death (MCOD) analysis is used to account for the full contribution of TB as acause of death to South African mortality in 2008 that were coded using ICD10. Following a review of MCOD methods, a ...
Manpower systems operating under heavy and light tailed inter-exit time distributions
(Scientific Research, www.scirp.org/, 2014)
This paper considers a Manpower system where “exits” of employed personnel produce some wastage or loss. This system monitors these wastages over the sequence of exit epochs {t0 = 0 and tk; k = 1, 2,∙∙∙} that form a re- ...
Distribution of geometrically weighted sum of bernoulli ramdom variables
(Scientific Research, www.scirp.org/, 2011)
A new class of distributions over (0,1) is obtained by considering geometrically weighted sum of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Bernoulli random variables. An expression for the distribution function (d.f.)
is ...
