We present notation that can be used to express a simple model for a nested study. The model is based on the assumption that response has been reported for subjects selected via a two stage cluster sample. At the first stage, a simple random sample of clusters (which we will also refer to as primary sampling units (PSU)) is selected. At the second stage, a simple random sample of subjects (whic...

This study examines the efficiency of EPI cluster sampling in assessing the prevalence of diarrhoea and dysentery. A computer was used to simulate fieldwork carried out by a survey taker. The bias and variance of prevalence estimates obtained using EPI cluster sampling were compared with those obtained using simple random sampling and cluster (stratified random) sampling. Efficiency ratios, cal...

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been used in many fields (physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science) for simulation, inference, and optimization. The essence of these methods is to simulate a Markov chain whose state X follows a target probability X ∼ π(X). In many applications, π(X) is defined on a graph G whose vertices represent elements in the system and whose edges rep...

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between self-confidence and learning motivation elementary school students in cluster I, Bolo District, Bima Regency. This research uses a quantitative approach with correlational method. population were all fourth grade SDN Cluster Regency as many 90 students. probability sampling technique by taking samples random sampling, so that sa...

A two-stage sampling procedure for obtaining an optimal confidence interval for the largest or smallest mean of k independent normal populations is proposed, where the population variances are unknown and possibly unequal. The optimal confidence interval is obtained by maximizing the coverage probability with a fixed width at a least favorable configuration of means. Then, the sample sizes can ...

Background: The end phase of the development stage adolescents should have matured themselves in understanding gender roles accordance with their sexual roles. Gender dysphoria occurs when experience identity disorders which confusion over that are contrary to roles, so they tend like same sex. Research Objectives: To identify senior high school students Samarinda City. Methods: A descriptive s...
