Distribution functions are introduced based on power transformations of beta and gamma distributions, and properties of these distributions are discussed. The gamma, beta, F, Pareto, Burr, Weibull and loglogistic distributions ares special cases. The transformed gamma mixed with a gamma yields a transformed beta. The transformed gamma is used to model aggregate distributions by matching moments...

the aim of present study was to investigate the potential antioxidant and lung protective activities of sambucus ebulus (se) against toxicity induced by gamma irradiation. hydro alcoholic extract of se (20, 50 and 100 mg/kg ) was studied for its lung protective activity. . phenol and flavonoid contents of se were determined. male c57 mice were divided into 10 groups with five mice per group. on...

We build stochastic models for analyzing Jaya and semi-steady-state algorithms. The analysis shows that (a) the maximum expected value of number worst-index updates per generation is a paltry 1.7 regardless population size; (b) size, expectation best-index decreases monotonically with generations; (c) exact upper bounds as well asymptotics best-update counts can be obtained specific distributio...

We outline the information-theoretic differential geometry of gamma distributions, which contain exponential distributions as a special case, and log-gamma distributions. Our arguments support the opinion that these distributions have a natural role in representing departures from randomness, uniformity and Gaussian behaviour in stochastic processes. We show also how the information geometry pr...

We present computational methods and subroutines to compute Gaussian quadrature integration formulas for arbitrary positive measures. For expensive integrands that can be factored into well-known forms, Gaussian quadrature schemes allow for efficient evaluation of high-accuracy and -precision numerical integrals, especially compared to general ad hoc schemes. In addition, for certain well-known...

BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor in the global burden of disease, with overall volume of exposure as the principal underlying dimension. Two main sources of data on volume of alcohol exposure are available: surveys and per capita consumption derived from routine statistics such as taxation. As both sources have significant problems, this paper presents an approach that tria...

The well Sarai Sidhu-01 is located on Punjab Platform, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan. Punjab Platform is the eastern part of Central Indus Basin, and tectonically it is the stable portion of Indus Basin, which was least affected during Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. This study attempts to decipher reservoir potential for hydrocarbon exploration. It aims to delineate a subsurface hydrocarbon bearin...

introduction: this paper used generalized gamma (gg) distribution to find the predictive factors of overall survival (os) after haematopoietic stem cell transplant (hsct) in acute myeloid  leukemia patients. methods: discrimination among the exponential, weibull, gg, log-logistic, and lognormal distributions was done using maximum likelihood and akaike information criteria. results: the 5-year ...
