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...

background & aim: congenital hypothyroidism (ch) is one of the most common endocrine diseases and is a major cause of preventable mental retardation. early diagnosis of ch can help prevent future diseases. although time series techniques are often utilized to forecast future status, they are inadequate to deal with count data with overdispersion. the aim of this study was to apply poisson hidde...

This paper represents the comparison between Negative Binomial Regression model and Generalized Poisson Regression model for over-dispersion count data. For this comparison, we used BDHS 2007 data in where the response variable is the total children ever born which is a count data. When the response variable is count, then Poisson Regression Model as a Generalized Linear Model is widely and pop...

In the remainder, we call such a variety a convex symplectic variety. A convex symplectic variety has been studied in [K-V], [Ka 1] and [G-K]. One of main difficulties we meet is the fact that tangent objects TX and T 1 Y are not finite dimensional, since Y may possibly have non-isolated singularities; hence the usual deformation theory does not work well. Instead, in [K-V], [G-K], they introdu...

We connect generalizations of Poisson algebras with the classical and associative Yang-Baxter equations. In particular, we prove that solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation on a vector space V are equivalent to “twisted” Poisson algebra structures on the tensor algebra TV . Here, “twisted” refers to working in the category of graded vector spaces equipped with Sn actions in degree n. W...

In this note we clarify the relationship between the local and global definitions of dual pairs in Poisson geometry. It turns out that these are not equivalent. For the passage from local to global one needs a connected fiber hypothesis (this is well known), while the converse requires a dimension condition (which appears not to be known). We also provide examples illustrating the necessity of ...

Abstract Poisson disk distributions have many applications in the field of computer graphics. Besides sampling, Poisson disk distributions are used in object distribution, non-photorealistic rendering and procedural texturing. Over the years, a large number of methods for generating Poisson disk distributions have been proposed, making it difficult to choose the right method for a given applica...

We identify the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid of a Poisson homogeneous space G/H of a Poisson Lie group G as a quotient of a transformation Lie algebroid over G. As applications, we describe the modular vector fields of G/H , and we identify the Poisson cohomology of G/H with coefficients in powers of its canonical line bundle with relative Lie algebra cohomology of the Drinfeld Lie algebra as...
