Safety and health issues remain critical to the construction industry due to its working environment and the complexity of working practises. This research attempts to adopt 2 research approaches using statistical data and court cases to address and identify the causes and behavior underlying construction safety and health issues in Malaysia. Factual data on the period of 2000-2009 were retriev...

Statistics is the science of data. As the foundation of scientific knowledge, data refers to evidentiary facts from the nature of reality by human action, observation, or experiment. Clinicians should be aware of the conditions of good data to support the validity of clinical modalities in reading scientific articles, one of the resources to revise or update their clinical knowledge and skills....

This talk will be about a recently developed family of skew t distributions, their place in a wider setting of families of generalised order statistic distributions, and related miscellanea.

One-way analysis of covariance is a popular and common statisticalmethod, wherein the equality of the means of several random variables whichhave a linear relationship with a random mathematical variable, is tested. Inthis study, a method is presented to improve the one-way analysis of covari-ance when there is an uncertainty in accepting the statistical hypotheses. Themethod deals with a fuzzy...

Let T be a general sampling statistic that can be written as a linear statistic plus an error term. Uniform and non-uniform Berry-Esseen type bounds for T are obtained. The bounds are best possible for many known statistics. Applications to U-statistic, multi-sample U-statistic, L-statistic, random sums, and functions of non-linear statistics are discussed.
