Statistical Analysis Of Economic Activities For Developement In Nepal., Bishnu Pant Dr. Oct 1983

Statistical Analysis Of Economic Activities For Developement In Nepal., Bishnu Pant Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The main objective of this study has been the statistical analysis by the use of those statistical and quantitative tools that could be considered appropriate for applications in an underdeveloped economy, where in usually lies sufficient data and information gaps, towards a proper diagnosis of the problems and prospects of economic activities in its diversified regional environments. This study is conducted with reference to an underdeveloped country, Nepal, where detailed regional analyses have hardly been attempted earlier, to evaluate the regional structures of economic activities for the purpose of clarifying oar visions for a proper kind of regional planning. Though …


Contributions To The Study Of Bayes Estimates: The Maximum Likelihood Estimate And Rao's Test., S. N. Joshi Dr. Jun 1983

Contributions To The Study Of Bayes Estimates: The Maximum Likelihood Estimate And Rao's Test., S. N. Joshi Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This the sis consists of two parts. In part I we have investigated problems concerning Bayes estimates, especially ex pansion of the integrated risk of the Bayes estinate (also referred to as the Bayes risk or the integrated Bayes risk), approximation of the Bayes estimate and expansion of the posterior distribution. In part II we have introduc ed a new opimun property for estimates and have concluded that the maximum likelihood estimate (m.1.e.) enjoys this property ; in this part we have also investigated what is known as Raos conjecture which saya that the test based on the score function …
