ABSTRACT Replication is the repetition of the treatments under investigation to different experimental unit. Replication is essential for obtaining a valid estimate of the experimental error and to a greater extent, increasing the precision of estimating the pairwise difference among the treatment effects. It is on this note that when full replication (replication of cube and star point) is made, there exists need for optimal replication for the purpose of minimizing biasedness. Some variatio...
Abstract Several authors have developed statistical procedures for testing whether two models are similar. In this work, we not only present the notion of equivalence but also extend this to a measure of predictive ability of a time series following a stationary self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) process. A proposition and a lemma were used to join the structure of the predictability measure to the coefficients and sample autocorrelation of the SETAR process. Illustrative examples...
ABSTRACT The study aimed at examining the effect of agricultural production on economic growth in Somalia from the period of 1986 to 2016 using time series data. Specifically, the study examined the causality and the effect of agricultural production on GDP growth. The objective was motivated by the fact that the problem statement emphasized that agricultural production has not yielded expected economic growth in Somalia. The study hypothesized that no casualty between agricultural production...

ABSTRACT This study was motivated by the fact the Uganda has one of the fastest population growth rates in the world accompanied by high unemployment rates thus the study aimed at investigating the relationship between population growth rates and youth unemployment in Uganda (1991 to 2014). The specific objectives of the study were; to find out the long run relationship between the population growth rate and youth unemployment rate in Uganda, to examine the causality between population grow...
ABSTRACT This study was set to investigate the relationship between resource availability and maternal mortality in Budaka District, Uganda from 2005 to 2011. The study basically examined secondary data. It was also a descriptive-correlation since it sought to examine the relationship between the independent variables (resource availability) and the dependent variable (maternal mortality). The population of this study was the records on the variables of the study from 2005 to 2011. The stud...
ABSTRACT This study details the effects of increasing Consumer Price Index (‘CPI,) geographical coverage on inflation in the country. The study looked at the level 0/significance of Headline inflation and its related components, bejbre and a/icr geographical coverage increment. A comparison ofanalytical results obtained with two diffrreni CPI coverage, inflation numbers with Fort Portal Centre included in the computations and inflation numbers without Fort Portal Centre. The study applied...
