Calibration estimation, where the sampling weights are adjusted to make certain estimators match known population totals, is commonly used in survey sampling. The generalized regression estimator is an example of a calibration estimator. Given the functional form of the calibration adjustment term, we establish the asymptotic equivalence between the functional-form calibration estimator and an ...

The method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) is a popular tool for analysing longitudinal (panel) data. Often, the covariates collected are time-dependent in nature, for example, age, relapse status, monthly income. When using GEE to analyse longitudinal data with time-dependent covariates, crucial assumptions about the covariates are necessary for valid inferences to be drawn. When tho...

Adomian decomposition method has been applied to solve many functional equations so far. In this article, we have used this method to solve the fuzzy differential equation under generalized differentiability. We interpret a fuzzy differential equation by using the strongly generalized differentiability. Also one concrete application for ordinary fuzzy differential equation with fuzzy input data...

Every test especially recruitment exams must have reliability and validity in order to be reliable and adequate guide for organization’s leaders in making decisions.The present study aims at examining the predictive validity of IOOC employment test and its relationship with employees' performance in IOOC. The study population includes recruited employees in IOOC in 1385. The data was gathered u...

in the present paper‎, ‎we propose an iterative algorithm for‎ ‎solving the generalized $(p,q)$-reflexive solution of the quaternion matrix‎ ‎equation $overset{u}{underset{l=1}{sum}}a_{l}xb_{l}+overset{v} ‎{underset{s=1}{sum}}c_{s}widetilde{x}d_{s}=f$‎. ‎by this iterative algorithm‎, ‎the solvability of the problem can be determined automatically‎. ‎when the‎ ‎matrix equation is consistent over...
