The government has taken various measures such as relying more on external debt to avoid crowding out private investmen...
ABSTRACT The effect of inflation on the stock market has attracted many studies. Fisher theory postulates that the real rate of returns on common stocks do not depend on inflation, indicating that stocks should be independent of inflation. The studies have attempted to investigate how inflation affects the stock market and the studies have mainly used the aggregate stock market index. However, the use of aggregate indices may mislead on the actual performance of sector-specific indices. The ...
ABSTRACT Benue State Tractor Hiring Agency (BENTHA) is usually confronted with the problem of determining the optimum number of tractors to be allocated to different zones in the state. The number of tractors allocated to a zone is normally decided without any proper study of tractor needs of the zones. Sometimes allocation is based on merely political considerations. The problem of allocation is formulated and heuristic procedures are applied to optimally allocate the limited tractors.

Abstract -. "Since. statisticians do not usually perform an experiment, their claim to attention when they write on experimentation requires some explanations", William Cochran and Gertrude Cox (1957). Block designs are widely used in many fields of research. Their most common type is the randomized (complete) block design. It is not applicable in all circumstances. If the numbers of (elements are too large to preserve homogeneous conditions within complete blocks or the sizes of blocks are d...
ABSTRACT The word is not interested in the storm you encountered but did you bring the ship in? It's is not the time a man spends in planning, it's the faith and confidence he put in his planning that really counts. Investigation has revealed that the economic base of Nigeria base on the crude oil. Hence there is every need to take a critical look into the production pattern of this product as to ascertain the trend direction to enable us understand the progressive or regressive direction of ...
ABSTRACT This research work is aimed al studying the impact of health sector reforms on life expectancy in Nigeria using a secondary source of data ranging.from 1980 to 2014 obtainedfi-om the Central Bank Statistical Bulletin and World Bank indicator. Ordinwy least square of multiple regression models was used to establish the relationship betvveen dependent variable and independent variables. The data was analyzed using Eviews 9. 0. The finding revealed that out of the three unit root test c...

This research work describes a study that used measles disease data collected through Knoema health surveillance system to evaluate univariate time series method namely; autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The data obtained from 1980 to 2016 were used as modeling data and forecasting samples, respectively. The performances were evaluated based on three metrics: mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean square error (MSE). A low normalized BI...
ABSTRACT This research work examines the effects of some factors influencing Hypertension, and the data used was obtained from the case-hypertensive patients’ record at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (2007 - 2012). Basically, the target of this research are patients of infections/diseases (e. g. HIV/AIDS) that later developed hypertension. The Pearson’s Chi-square test statistic – testing for independence, the Odds ratio, Relative risk and Pearson’s product moment correlat...
ABSTRACT The research focuses on the impact of non-oil exports on Nigerian economy. It employs the documentary method in retrieving secondary data for the study. The data is retrieved from the CBN statistical bulletin for the year 2016. The method of data analysis is the ordinary least square (OLS) method of multiple regressions using the Microfit software. At the end of the analysis, it is discovered that non-oil exports has a significant impact on the economic growth of Nigeria. I recommen...
Logistic regression model deals with the relationship that exists between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It provides a method for modeling a binary response variable, which takes values 1 and 0. Further, Logistic regression is useful for situations in which you want to be able to predict the presence or absence of a characteristic or outcome based on values of a set of predictor variables. It is similar to a linear regression model but is suited to models where th...
ABSTRACT Water as an essential commodity plays a major role in national development, the availability of water through pipe borne to individual, communities, and the country at large will help in achieving the New Millennium Development Goal (MDG7), hence the constant study, analysis and forecast for supply of water using past water supplied. The supply of pipe borne water from 2009 to 2015 was examined with the aim of developing a working model to forecast future supply of pipe borne water...
