REGRESSION ANALYSIS Correlation only indicates the degree and direction of relationship between two variables. It does not‚ necessarily connote a cause-effect relationship. Even when there are grounds to believe the causal relationship exits‚ correlation does not tell us which variable is the cause and which‚ the effect. For example‚ the demand for a commodity and its price will generally be found to be correlated‚ but the question whether demand depends on price or vice-versa; will not be answered

Abstract: In wireless communication using omnidirectional antennas communication is made in directions not pointing towards the recipient resulting in energy waste‚ and producing traffic collisions and reducing the battery life. One way of reducing this problem is to use of smart antenna that uses selectable radiation patterns depending on the situations. These antennas provide the ability to sense the direction of incoming signals. Smart antennas are the antenna arrays with smart signal processing

Let us examine the following condition of complete observations given above. Assume that $\Upsilon_{\chi}$ is taken as distribution function whose total failure times is studied using gamma distribution applied to the shape parameters $3$ together with scale parameters $2.$ On side of repair time it goes with the same way failure time with gamma distribution together with shape parameter $1‚$ and scale parameter $2$ respectively. The time $\tau$ is examined as the following $\tau=2.5‚\tau=5‚$ and

1. Introduction "Lies‚ damned lies‚ and statistics" is a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers‚ particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments. It is also sometimes colloquially used to doubt statistics used to prove an opponent’s point. The term was popularised in the United States by Mark Twain (among others)‚ who attributed it to the 19th-century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881): "There are three kinds of lies: lies‚ damned lies‚ and statistics."

distribution of failure times without any modeling assumptions. Data sets of failure times often contain censored data observations where the exact failure time is known only to lie within a certain region and is not known exactly. The product limit estimator allows the estimation of the failure time distribution when some of the data observations are censored in this way. The reliability of a component‚ which can be denoted by r‚ can in general be thought of as the probability that it performs a certain

interpretation is intuitively reasonable. How is it calculated for a population? If the correlation coefficient is calculated for the entire population‚ it is denoted by p‚ the population correlation coefficient. Like the case of the sample mean being an estimator of the population mean‚ the simple correlation coefficient r is an estimate of the population correlation coefficient p. How is it calculated for a sample? The first step in understanding how Pearson correlation coefficients are calculated is

Estimation is a procedure by which a numerical value or values are assigned to a population parameter based on the information collected from a sample. The assignment of value(s) to a population parameter based on a value of the corresponding sample statistic is called estimation. In inferential statistics‚ _ is called the true population mean and p is called the true population proportion. There are many other population parameters‚ such as the median‚ mode‚ variance‚ and standard deviation. The
