Estimating functions have been used in estimating parameters of many continuous time series models. However, this method has not been applied to models involving count data. In this paper, we use quadratic estimating functions (QEF) to derive estimators for the joint estimation of the conditional mean and variance parameters of count data models, s

Negeri Perak, Terengganu, Selangor, Melaka dan Negeri Sembilan mengambil langkah positif memperkenalkan suatu enakmen khusus bagi menguruskan hal ehwal wakaf, sedangkan negeri lain masih dalam proses memperkenalkan undang-undang yang sama, dan terdapat negeri yang masih menggunakan peruntukan yang sedia ada dalam Enakmen Pentadbiran Hal Ehwal Islam

Recently, there has been a growing interest in integer-valued time series models. In this paper, using a martingale difference, we prove a general theorem on the moment properties of a class of integer-valued time series models. This theorem not only contains results in the recent literature as special cases but also has the advantage of a simpler

Aims: This study focus on the presence of cyanobacterial toxin in Malaysia and anatoxin-a-encoding gene was detected in this study and the status of cyanobacterial toxins in Malaysia can now be clarified. Methodology and results: As part of status determination of cyanobacterial toxins in Malaysia, cyanobacterial strains have been isolated from dif

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) rely on the absorption of photons by the dye molecules which are transported to the conduction band of the TiO2 electrode. The microstructure, energy gap and the absorption spectra of the TiO2 electrodes highly affects the efficiency of the cell. In this paper, the absorption spectra and energy gap has been studie

Purpose – The objectives of this present study are twofold. First, it aims to investigate the performance objectives of PPP implementation in Malaysia. Second, it aims to examine the differences in the perceptions of two PPP key players – the public and private sectors – pertaining to the performance objectives. Design/methodology/approach â€

INTRODUCTION: Cellulite or lipodystrophy is a major aesthetical concern among women who want to look beautiful. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of topical slimming and anti-cellulite cream containing 2.5% of caffeine. METHODS: Formulation of oil-in-water cream containing 2.5% of caffeine and without caffeine (base) w

Sponges are sessile, benthic organisms that are known to host diverse microorganisms including Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya. Prokaryotic microbial communities associated with sponges have been well studied by both cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent approaches, whereas eukaryotic microbial are the last frontier of microbial diversity

This paper discusses the relief of specific performance (SP) and deals with types and nature of contracts that may be ordered by the court to be specifically performed and those that cannot be specifically performed. Specifically, this paper analyses the circumstances in which the courts decide to grant SP and not to grant SP for land contract. Und
