Survival mixtrue model of Gamma distribution F of modelling heterogeneous data by Mohammed, Yusuf A., Yatim, Bidin, Ismail, Suzilah

“…The real data were used to compare the proposed model with the pure classical parametric survival models corresponding to each component, the two and four components survival mixture models of the Gamma distributions.The Log-likelihood (LL) and the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) values showed that the proposed model represents real data better than the pure classical survival model, the two and four components survival mixture models of the Gamma distributions.The proposed model showed that survival mixture models are flexible and maintain the features of the pure classical survival model and are better option for modelling heterogeneous survival data.…”

Evaluation of online bank efficiency in Bangladesh: A Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach by Bhuia, Mohammad Romel, Baten, Md Azizul, Kamil, Anaton Abdulbasah

“…This study aims to examine the relative efficiency of Bangladesh online banks during 2001–2007 by utilizing Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA).Based on the several online sampled banks, the findings reveal that the most efficient banks were AL-Arafah Islami Bank Limited, Shahajalal Islami Bank Limited, Eastern Bank Limited, and the less efficient banks over the study period were Janata Bank Limited, Utara Bank Limited, United Commercial Bank Limited, Pubali Bank Limited, and AB Bank Limited.Among the three groups Group-1 (n=20), Group-2 (n=18), Group-3 (n=15) we observed that the individual efficiency level of banks are increasing group by group.The efficiency level of Group-2 was slightly increased from the efficiency level of Group-1.The source of efficiency of the sampled banks was found to be lower for technical efficiency and scale efficiency rather than pure technical efficiency.Moreover, the scale inefficiency was found lower in G-3 compare to G-1 and G-2.This indicated that the scale inefficiency was observed decreasing group by group and these were attributable to technical efficiency rather than pure technical inefficiency.…”

Intellectual capital disclosure: Scenario of a developing economic by Bhasin, Madan Lal, Bamahros, Hasan Mohammed

“…Currently, ICD is not compulsory and is done by the companies purely on ―voluntary‖ basis. IC disclosure has become a critical necessity in this new framework.IC measurement, reporting and disclosures in the developing economy are still at a very nascent stage, especially in India.This is an exploratory study of ICD and measurement by the 8 Indian companies over 5-year period, using content analysis and market value added (MVA) as research methodologies.IC is valued at market value (MV) minus book value (BV).The annual reports of the selected companies were collected from their respective web sites.As part of present study, various statistical techniques have been used to analyze the data.The findings show that on an average, the sample companies reported a positive value of IC; significant correlation has been noticed between tangible assets (TA) and net operating profits (NOP).However, no significant difference was found between percentage of IC to MV, and per cent of TA to MV.The study finds wide-disparity, low-level, and purely voluntary nature of the ICD made by the selected companies. …”
