...A COMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION OF ESTIMATED VARIANCES IN MULTI-STAGE CLUSTER SAMPLING SCHEMES L. A. Nafiu, L. Idris, A. F. Busari and A. B. Olaniyan Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State (lanconserv@yahoo.com) ABSTRACT The computation of sample variances arising from multi-stage cluster sampling schemes or designs are complex and time-consuming. This paper presents a computer software written with Java programing language for implementing some of the available formulars for estimated variances in multi-stage techniques. The software has the advantages of accessibility, cheapness, and ease of use in computing estimated variances in both one-stage, two-stage and three-stage sampling schemes. A data set for estimating number of diabetic patients in Niger state for 2005 was used for illustration. We recommend that computation involving these estimated variances be done with the aid of this software. Keywords: Software, Computation, Multi-stage, Estimated Variances, Time, Data and Diabetic Patients. Introduction Multistage sampling is where the researcher divides the population into clusters, samples the clusters, and then resample, repeating the process until the ultimate sampling units are selected at the last of the hierarchical levels (Okafor, 2002). For instance, at the top level, states may be sampled (with sampling proportionate to state population size); then cities may be sampled; then schools; then classes; and...

...feminist movement, the status of women began to turn upside down. Women are demanding equal status with men, and these demands also reflected in the films. Until now, women as a sign of beauty, some are gentle and virtuous, some are sweetie and pleasant, and some are full of unique personality but still attractive enough. In such a representation, it is hard to notice, even their own aesthetic values are deeply affected by the male views. Not so much a woman as a sign of beauty, as it is a sign to attract male attention. In many generations of Chinese directors, only one of the few is female director. In the Male-dominated film industry, obviously, female characters are created by them, reflecting men’s centralism’s view of women. This paper applies feminist film theory, by analyzing the feminine images in a famous Chinese director—Jiang Wen’s films, to reveal the hidden gender inequality as well as the phenomenon of “male gaze”. Through the criticism and introspection of these hidden and potential problems to discover the root cause of these perspectives. Finally, I put forward some solutions to eliminate gender opposition, which is also the significance of this study lies. Since the beginning of the 18th century, men and women equal rights movement spread from France to the world. But when the point that women and men have no difference is popular, another problem highlights. There...

...Apologetics Application Paper: Part 1 Submission Form Curtisha Lawrence APOL 500 November 2, 2014 1. Target Audience: The target audience I have chosen is from the false theistic system. The world religion of Islam is a monotheistic world religion. Islam is an important religion that Christians should research in order to respond effectively and in a manner that does not appear to be condescending to the other. However, the Christian should develop a level of apologetics to defend the faith in a -knowledgeable and Christ-like fashion. 2. Summary of Significant Elements of the Worldview of the Target Audience: Muslims live in a monotheistic society devoting themselves to one god, Allah. Any gods or belief contrary to Allah is known to be blasphemous. In Islam, the Quaran is the source of ultimate authority. It goes into detail of who Allah is and highlights the humans are to treat others with dignity and with good deeds. Humans are to be believed as coming from clay and jinn created from smokeless flames. They also believe that there has been a succession of prophets with specifically identifying Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus preceding Muhammad. Muslims believe that Allah will return and resurrect the dead and every person will be judged in the Day of Judgment. At that time there will be a balance of good deeds verses bad deeds, and those who have good deeds overweighing the bad will live in paradise and those who have lived a life of bad choices...

Instead, policy was inconsistent, ambiguous and changing – resulting in confusion regarding morally and legally acceptable standards for interrogation and detention. These lapses in policy contributed...

...Association Rules (BARs), which only consider boolean attributes, QARs consist of quantitative attributes which contain much richer information than the boolean attributes. To develop a data mining system for huge database composed of numerical and categorical attributes, there exists necessary process to decide valid quantization of the numerical attributes. One of the main problems is to obtain interesting rules from continuous numeric attributes. In this paper, the Mutual Information between the attributes in a quantitative database is described and normalization on the Mutual Information to make it applicable in the context of QAR mining is devised. It deals with the problem of discretizing continuous data in order to discover a number of high confident association rules, which cover a high percentage of examples in the data set. Then a Mutual Information graph (MI graph), whose edges are attribute pairs that have normalized Mutual Information no less than a predefined information threshold is constructed. The cliques in the MI graph represent a majority of the frequent itemsets. Keywords: Quantitative Databases, Association Rules, Mutual Information 1. Introduction Association rule mining is a significant research topic in the knowledge discovery area. Association analysis is a useful data mining technique exploited in multiple application domains [6]. One of the best known is the business field where the discovering of purchase patterns or associations between products...
