The average inbreeding coefficient f of a population can be estimated in several different ways based solely on the genotypic frequencies at a single locus. The means and variances of four different estimates have been compared. While the four estimates are equivalent when there are two alleles, the best estimates when there are three or more alleles are based upon total heterozygosity (Formula...

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate some properties of two subclasses $ Lambda_{n}( lambda , beta ) $ and $ Lambda_{n}^{+}( lambda , beta ) $;  meromorphic and starlike  functions of order $ beta $. In particular, several inclusion relations, coefficient estimates, distortion theorems and covering theorems are proven here for each of these function classes.

Estimates of instrumental rules can be utilized to describe central bank's behavior and monetary policy stance. In the last decade, considerable attention has been given to time-varying parameter (TVP) specification of monetary policy rules. Constant-parameter reaction functions likely ignore the impact of model uncertainty, shifting preferences and nonlinearities of policymaker's choices. This...

This is a statisticalmodel (the “multiple logistic model”) for pooling data from many variables into a single probability estimate that a person examined in a health screening system requires medical care. Because discrete variables are frequently studied in health screening programs, the required assumption of multivariate normality of the predictor variables related to many statistical techni...
