This paper examines four hypothesized root causes from an engineering-geological perspective: (1) Ignorance among town planners of the importance of engineering-geological factors; (2) Poor communication and knowledge-transfer between earth scientists and planners; (3) Delays, gaps or fragmentation in quantifying and
Mixture Poisson Autoregressive (p) Model With Application To Anaemia Cases Among Breast Feeding Children In Mubi North Lga, Adamawa State
This research presents and assesses a novel model for time-series count data, the Mixture Poisson Autoregressive (MPAR) model, which addresses the challenges of discreteness, overdispersion, and serial correlation. The parametric technique is used for the MPAR model with a marginal distribution for the count data. The MPAR model was applied to Anaemia cases among exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding children in
