Using Micro-Level Data to Map State Failure: The Example of Somalia
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the study of state fai/ure, scholars and practitioners have mostly focused on macro-level indicators to determine which state isfailed and which is not. This focus overlooks cruciallocal and regional variation that has to be taken into account when designing interventions. In this article, we develop a new approach to examine state fai/ure on this microlevel. Using a unique data-set on Somalia, we identify micro-level indicators for state fai/ure. The analysis shows that micro-level data are crucial for detecting variation in state fai/ure.

A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
متن کاملData Mining Performance in Identifying the Risk Factors of Early Arteriovenous Fistula Failure in Hemodialysis Patients
Background and Objectives: Arteriovenous fistula is a popular vascular access method for surgical treatment of hemodialysis patients. The method, however, is associated with a high rate of early failure varying in the range of 20-60%. Predicting early Arteriovenous fistula failure and its risk factors can help reduce its incidence, its hospitalization rate, and associated costs. In this study, ...
