This afterwards as database optimization. analysis performed includes internal air temperature, indicators (PPD), and annu...

In this paper, we introduce a new family of univariate distributions with two extra positive parameters generated from inverse Weibull random variable called the (IW-G) family. The provides lot models as well contains families special cases. We explore four for Some mathematical properties including quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, probability weighted R?nyi entropy order sta...

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is a major determinant of health inequality in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of SES of family and living region with self-rated health (SRH) and life satisfaction (LS) among children and adolescents.   Methods: This study was a part of the fourth survey of a national surveillance program, which was ...

This paper discusses three dilemmas faced by researchers interested in family influences in substance use: the transitional nature of adolescent smoking, the complexity and multi-dimensionality of family forms and influences, and the inter-relationship of family influences with other key developmental contexts. Methodological and conceptual issues stemming from these dilemmas are discussed with...

The authors offer a unified method extending traditional spatial dependence with normally distributed error terms to a new class of spatial models based on the biparametric exponential family of distributions. Joint modeling of the mean and variance (or precision) parameters is proposed in this family of distributions, including spatial correlation. The proposed models are applied for analyzing...
