Public Policy And The Dynamics Of Development: A Macroeconomic Theory For Developing Economics., B. K. Pradhan Dr. Aug 1988

Public Policy And The Dynamics Of Development: A Macroeconomic Theory For Developing Economics., B. K. Pradhan Dr.

Doctoral Theses

If I am given the cholce to define Development Economi ea, I would do so in such a way that the work reported here aust eni nent ly belong to the realm of that discipline. Before proceeding further one must remenber what Hirschman said nearly 28 yeara ago ...probably that econonists have not been able to construct, much less agree on, a alngle and unbroken chain of causes and effects that would neatly explain the transition from While this f ailure is of course only to the credit of economists, it cannot be denied that Underdevelopment to development. In comparison …


On Sequential Test Procedure With Application In Identification And Selection., Atasi Basu Dr. Aug 1988

On Sequential Test Procedure With Application In Identification And Selection., Atasi Basu Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The area of sequential testing of statistical hypothesss is an important part of sequential analysis. The idea of a sequential test goes back to Dodge and Romig (1929) who cons tructed a double sampling procedure for sampling inspection. They wers motivated by the obser- vation that the double sampling plan requires a smaller number of observations on the average when compared uith the corresponding single sampling plan, Later schemes like multiple sampling vide Wlalter Bartky (1943) and interesting practical application of large scale experimente in successive stages vide Mahalanobis (1940) started comni ng up.The formal theory in sequential analysis began …


Some Aspects Of Majorization And Their Applications In Statistics., Subir Kumar Bhandari Dr. Aug 1988

Some Aspects Of Majorization And Their Applications In Statistics., Subir Kumar Bhandari Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The works in this dissertation are primarily baset ur. difterent concepts of majorization and the results thereof. True first part of this dissertation is a study on dirfferent concepts of uni variate and multivariate majorization. The latter part of this dissertation includes studies on some problems in Sample Survey, and problems relating to ranking and selection with the use of some results, old and new, in majorization.The concept of univariate majorization has been consi- dered by economists in relation to Lorenz ourve, as well as by mathematicians and statisticians, especially in the field of reliability. It appears that the results …


General Equilbrium Analysis Of Price And Distribution Controls For Foodgrains And Textiles In India., P. V. Srinivasan Dr. Jul 1988

General Equilbrium Analysis Of Price And Distribution Controls For Foodgrains And Textiles In India., P. V. Srinivasan Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Unlike in many developed countries, in India, institutions for distribution of goods and services are not well developed. Hence policy makers are concerned with the development of economic institutions to promote growth, remove unemployment and eradicate poverty. In addition to the general fiscal and monetary policy instruments such as taxes, su bsidies, bank rate, open market operations etc, the government also uses several price and non-price controls. For example, it administers the prices of essential inputs such as steel, coal, power ete, and distributes certain essential commodities through ration s hops at a price lower than the market prices.One way …


On A Class Of Stochastic Approximation -Type Parameter-Learning Algorithms For Pattern Recognition., Amita Pal Dr. Feb 1988

On A Class Of Stochastic Approximation -Type Parameter-Learning Algorithms For Pattern Recognition., Amita Pal Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The first tank can involve one or more subtasks. For instance, it may require the design of a classifier on the basis of whatever prior knowledge there is of the feature space, or given the design, to estimate efficiently the parameters of the classifier. The latter might involve the estimation of the density function itself if very little is known about the class-conditional fenture distribution, or it may necessitate the entimation of the parameters of the fenture distribution, if one can assume it to have some known form. It may also involve estimating the boundaries of the classes, if even …


Study On Mappings And Maniforlds Of Fueter Hypercomplex And Almost Complex Types., Basudeb Dutta Dr. Feb 1988

Study On Mappings And Maniforlds Of Fueter Hypercomplex And Almost Complex Types., Basudeb Dutta Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis ie concerned chiefly with oertain families of smooth ... mappinga from domains in IRn to IRn which arise as natural generali- setione of complex anelytio mappinge. Thess Fueter families heve important hypercomplex aubfamilies defined via convergent Laurent series in one queternionio or actonionio veriable (with central coeffi- ofents). The various families and subfamdlies are olosed under compositior and inversion (when defined) of, meppinge consequently they form pseudo- groups on which one can model manifolds. The geometry of manifolde which oerry such ;Fueter or hypercomplex structure turna out to be qui ta %3D rich. In particular, they heve oanonioal …
