-The present paper deals with a modification on the selection of linear systematic sample of odd size. Consequently the proposed method is called modified linear systematic sampling. The performances of the modified linear systematic sampling are assessed with that of simple random sampling and linear systematic sampling for certain hypothetical populations. As a result, it is observed that the...

In the usual Bayesian approach to survey sampling the sampling design, plays a minimal role, at best. Although a close relationship between exchangeable prior distributions and simple random sampling has been noted; how to formally integrate simple random sampling into the Bayesian paradigm is not clear. Recently it has been argued that the sampling design can be thought of as part of a Bayesia...

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among the women in the world. Early screening for cervical cancer is a key intervention in reduction of maternal deaths. Health care workers have a significant contribution to improve cervical cancer screening practice among women. Hence, this study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of cervical cancer screening...

We show that there exists a family of groups Gn and nontrivial irreducible representations ρn such that, for any constant t, the average of ρn over t uniformly random elements g1, . . . , gt ∈ Gn has operator norm 1 with probability approaching 1 as n→∞. More quantitatively, we show that there exist families of finite groups for which Ω(log log |G|) random elements are required to bound the nor...

Background: Naked-eye visual inspection of the cervix with acetic-acid wash (VIA), or cervicoscopy, is an alternative to cytology in screening for cervical cancer poorly resourced locations. Aims: This study were determine whether visualization after acetic acid can identify early cancer, and detect lesions symptom free women. Results: In present mean age 35-39 yrs. Low socio-economic status, m...
