One of the most important applications of the Brainstem evoked response audiometry (ABR) is in the evaluation of hearing loss in children. Today the ABR is also indicated in the screening of cochleo-vestibular syndromes to detect retrocochlear lesions, to monitor patients in a coma (brain death), in monitoring the brainstem during skull base surgery, etc. Among the many BERA qualities, is its c...

Several graphical methods for testing univariate composite normality from an i.i.d. sample are presented. They are endowed with correct simultaneous error bounds and yield size-correct tests. As all are based on the empirical CDF, they are also consistent for all alternatives. For one test, called the modified stabilized probability test, or MSP, a highly simplified computational method is deri...

The interfacial behavior of salt-type minerals such as calcite and apatite is governed to a large extent by their electrochemical properties which in turn are governed by pH and concentration of dissolved mineral species. In mixed mineral systems, the interfacial behavior of various minerals is often quite different from what might be expected on the basis of their individual properties. Predic...

This study examined the relationship between budgeted capital and health sector performance in South West Nigeria. The adopted statistical tools to analyse data that were sourced from approved budget estimates of six Western States. descriptive statistics showed on an average level, all selected expenditures contributed approximately 99.9% their budgetary allocations. Jarque-Bera test reveals a...

We address the problem of recognizing α-stable Lévy distribution with Lévy index close to 2 from experimental data. We are interested in the case when the sample size of available data is not large, thus the power law asymptotics of the distribution is not clearly detectable, and the shape of the empirical probability density function is close to a Gaussian. We propose a testing procedure combi...
