Validating statistical analysis methods for RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments is a complex task. Researchers often find themselves having to decide between competing models or assessing the reliability of results obtained with a designated analysis program. Computer simulation has been the most frequently used procedure to verify the adequacy of a model. However, datasets generated by simula...

background: malaria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in nepal. the magnitude of malaria across the country is alarming and varies with location. therefore, the present study aimed to model malaria incidence rates during 1998 to 2009 in nepal. methods: data for the study were obtained from health management information system (hmis), ministry of public health. a negative binomial mode...

In this paper, a quasi-negative binomial distribution (QNBD) derived from the class of generalized Lagrangian probability distributions is studied. The negative binomial distribution is a special case of QNBD. Some properties of QNBD, including the upper tail behavior and limiting distributions, are investigated. It is shown that the moments do not exist in some situations and the limiting dist...

in this research, a new control policy for the acceptance sampling problem is introduced. decision is made based on the number of defectives items in an inspected batch. the objective of the model is to find a constant control level that minimizes the total costs, including the cost of rejecting the batch, the cost of inspection and the cost of defective items. the optimization is performed by ...
