introduction of human development index (hdi) by undp in early 1990 followed a surge in use of non-parametric and parametric indices for measurement and comparison of countries performance in development, globalization, competition, well-being and etc. the hdi is a composite index of three indicators. its components are to reflect three major dimensions of human development: longevity, knowledg...

in the present study an attempt has been made to use a non-parametric method data envelopment analysis (dea) for assessing source-wise and operation-wise the technical efficiency (te) and return-to-scale (rts) for paddy production in four zones of the state of punjab, india. the results were then compared to corresponding ones already obtained from a parametric method (cobb-douglas production f...

background: colon cancer is the third cause of cancer deaths. although colon cancer survival time has increased in recent years, the mortality rate is still high. the cox model is the most common regression model often used in medical research in survival analysis, but most of the time the effect of at least one of the independent factors changes over time, so the model cannot be used. in the c...
