Comparison of the Autoregressive Vector VAR with the Dynamic Error Correction Vector DVECM for Modeling COVID-19 Deaths

Ahmed Razzaq Abed & Ayad Habeeb Shamil · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

In this article, the Vector Auto-Regressive model and the Dynamic Error Correction Vector Model will be used in modeling data representing the number of deaths due to infection with the COVD-19 virus as a dependent variable and the variable platelet rate in the blood as an indepe...

A New Family of Distributions in the Class of the Alpha Power Transformation with Applications to Income

R. M. Mandouh, E. M. Sewilam, M. M. Abdel-Zaher & M. R. Mahmoud · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

In this paper, a new technique of the alpha-power transformation (APT) is used to propose a new class of probability distribution which is particularly useful for analysis of lifetime data. For the illustrative purposes of the new proposal, a special sub-model of the proposed fam...

Bivariate Stochastic Simultaneous Differential Equation Model for Heart Failure

Tirupathi Rao Padi, P. T. Sakkeel & V. Kanimozhi · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

Heart failure is one of the significant public health burdens in the world. According to WHO, 2 million people suer heart failure worldwide. In this study, we propose a bivariate stochastic model for heart failure disease progression and recovery process, which helps to understan...

Designing Social Care Plans by Grouping Services and Patients in Mixed Cohorts: A Study using Regression versus Neural Nets

Sotirios Raptis · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

Aims: Linking social needs to social classes using different criteria may lead to social services misuse. The paper discusses using ML and Neural Nentwoks (NNs) in linking public services in Scotland in the long term and advocates this can result in a reduction of the services co...

Revised Fixed-base Model for Estimation of Adult Mortality in Developing Countries

C. O. Okoro, E. C. Nwogu & F. U. Mgbudem · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

This paper presents a revised Fixed-base model (RFBM) for the estimation of adult mortality in developing countries. The RFBM also derives estimates of adult mortality from the age distributions of two censuses by 5-year age-groups. Unlike the original version, RFBM does not depe...

Use of Probability Theory and Its Perspectives

Frank Owusu, Rhoda Afutu, Isaac Assan-Donkoh, Stephen Atepor & Dennis Offei Kwakye · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

Probability Theory is a more of a game of chance. It has the condition of likely and unlikely certainties. This theory plays much in human life, in financial institutions, banking, education, governance, insurance, etc. Governments apply probabilistic methods in environmental reg...

On the Nonparametric Approach to Estimation of Non- Constant Variance Function: An Application to Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)

Peter Mwangi · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

Methods for estimating regression models to data in the areas showing varying variances is considered. The centre of attention is on diverse methods of evaluating varying variances. The nonparametric approach which incorporates the smoothing methods and the choice of the ideal ba...

A Copula-Based Approach for Modelling the Dependence between Inflation and Exchange Rate in Kenya

Kaneza Tracy, Helen Waititu & Stanley Sewe · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

In this study, we modeled the dependence structure between inflation and exchange rate using the copula approach. To formulate a bivariate copula, we used ARMA+GARCH to model serial dependence for each univariate series of returns. Both for in ation and exchange rate, it was foun...

Unit Half Logistic Normal Distribution: Properties and Applications

Abdul-Aziz Adam Kobilla & Suleman Nasiru · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

In this study, a new generalization of the normal distribution called the unit half logistic normal (UHLN) distribution has been proposed by introducing a shape parameter into the normal distribution to make it more flexible. Several statistical properties of the new distribution...
