Purpose: This study sought to review the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses variants, applications areas and data types applied on various Dimension Reduction techniques. Methodology: The most commonly used databases employed search for papers were ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore Mendeley. An integrative was where 341 reviewed. Results: linear techniques considered Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant (LDA), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Latent...
Abstract Background Lipids and adipokines including leptin, resistin visfatin play various roles in the pathophysiology of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). This study was aimed at determining whether serum are significantly altered during first trimester pregnancies that subsequently develop GDM such changes useful predicting disease. Methods a case-case control which compared biochemical anthropometric parameters 70 pregnant women who developed without Volta Regional Hospital, Ho,...
The relevance of trigonometric distributions in modeling datasets is gaining a lot interest recent times because their many desirable properties. This paper contributes to the area by introducing new family called cosine Topp–Leone combining cosine-G and generated distributions. statistical properties such as quantile function, moments, moment generating functions, incomplete mean residual life, stress-strength reliability, entropies are derived. method maximum likelihood estimation was used...
In Ghana, Balantidium coli (B. coli) has been identified in vegetables and pigs, although there is a paucity of data regarding human balantidiosis. This study sought to assess B. infection factors associated with the as well its association haematological biochemical parameters.Two pig rearing communities Ga West Municipality, were involved this study. Stool blood samples collected from farmers their exposed household members relevant information on potential factors. Eosin-saline wet...
Mycotoxigenic fungi can infect and produce potent mycotoxins in foodstuffs prior to harvest, during harvest (field fungi), storage after (storage which when ingested, result adverse health effects. This study was aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitudes, practices adopted by Ghanaian populace help mitigate occurrence of molds foods. A cross-sectional survey involving a structured questionnaire conducted with 642 respondents from twelve regions Ghana. Descriptive statistics analyses...
Annona muricata L. (soursop fruit) is a seasonal plant with bio-geographical distribution in tropical and subtropical climates. This study evaluated the proximate, phenolic, antioxidant properties of different parts soursop fruit. The influence oven solar drying on phenolic activities extracts (pulp, seed, peel) were assessed. Proximate analysis fruit showed pulp to have high carbohydrate (32.9% ± 0.3) moisture (19.1% 1.0). seeds however contained higher crude fat (37.5% 1.2) protein (25.0%...
We introduce the tangent Topp-Leone family of distributions in this study and derive some its statistical properties. Further, we develop five special a location-scale regression model based on new proposed Weibull distribution. Three real datasets are used to demonstrate usefulness flexibility developed models comparison with other existing competing models. The reveals that Topp-Leone-Weibull perform better than for given datasets. log also performs dataset.
In this study, Secant Kumaraswamy family of distributions is proposed and studied. This motivated by the fact that no one distribution can model all types data from different fields. Therefore, there need to develop with desirable properties flexible enough for modelling exhibiting characteristics. Some new distributions, including quantile function, moments, moment generating mean residual life are derived. Five special cases presented, their flexibility shown varying degrees skewness...
Abstract Background This study was aimed at determining the levels of serum adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin and lipids during first trimester in pregnant women to evaluate relationship between these biochemical markers preeclampsia (PE). Available evidence point changes adipokines PE hence this examined potential using biomarkers prediction disease. Methods a case-control which compared anthropometric parameters who subsequently developed those did not. Blood pressure urine protein...
Complicated appendix is a least expected sac content of inguinal hernias that always require surgery and hernia repair. The current recommendations for posterior wall repairs however, continue to attract conflicting views as which modality gives the best outcome in infected surgical wounds. New repair methods with properties withstand site infections, minimise recurrence, affordable easy skill acquire potential be widely adopted are continuosly sort.
The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 advocated the reduction of maternal mortality rates significantly by 2015, however, continue to rise. Here, we modelled data for years 2000 2013 obtained from a public hospital in Kumasi, Ghana. We applied Box-Jenkins approach univariate form time series autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). output revealed that ARIMA (1, 1, 1) model was most appropriate and predict monthly cases with Akaike information criterion (AIC) value 117.02 Bayesian...
Globally, hypertension is one of the leading causes death. It can potentially lead to heart disease and stroke, among others, that could result premature In Ghana, considered as a contributes an increase in outpatients' attendance. To assess trend differentials hypertension-induced deaths Chi-square test for equal proportions Marascuilo procedure pairwise comparison were performed using surveillance data on reported number from 2012 2016 across then ten regions. The results show incidence...
The Secant Topp-Leone (STL) generator, which is developed by combining the TL and secant distribution families, discussed in this paper. We address various statistical characteristics of new family. also present five special distributions within family demonstrate their flexibility. These distributions’ parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) technique, Monte Carlo simulations used to assess technique’s accuracy. choice method study was validated results from...
A Treasury Bill is a short term investment product offered by the Bank of Ghana on behalf government.An investor in Bills lends his/her idle funds to government at fixed interest rate for either 91, 182 or 364 days.In this study we employed univariate time series Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model forecast 91-Day rates next eighteen ( 18) weeks 2014 using Box Jenkins approach.The results showed that ARIMA (2,0,1) was appropriate modelling weekly auction with maximum log...
One of the fast-growing major non-communicable diseases (NCD) that poses a danger to global public health is Diabetes mellitus (DM). Trends in incidence DM indicate disproportionate increase developing countries due current rapid demographic transitions from traditional more westernized and urbanized lifestyles. Knowledge vital for curbing or control. The objectives this study were evaluate level knowledge awareness among Ho municipality general population, identify areas deficiency targeted...
The Central Bank monetary policy rate is one of the tools that use to regulate liquidity in an economy.In Ghana objectives are ensure price stability, low inflation and also support Government economic including growth employment.This paper empirically models monthly rates from year 2001 2013 using ARIMA model data was obtained website Ghana.From results, it reveal ARIMA(2,1,1) appropriate for modeling with a maximum log likelihood value least AIC 274.98,AICc 275.25 BIC 287.16.An ARCH LM...
Abstract Background: Proliferation of non-falciparum species plasmodium into predominant falciparum populations compromises the utility monobiomaker based malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test (mRDT). This study evaluated validity a mono-biomarker Carestart®) and Paracheck™ mRDTs in use at Military Medical Centre Ghana.

Background: The use of advance screening tools to prevent Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTIs), is critical Sustainable Development Goals (SDG.3.3). This study assessed the implications using chromatographic Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDTs) kits, and dynamics on TTIs, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) among blood donors at Akatsi South Municipality in Volta Region Ghana. Methods: was a haemovigilance study, designed retrospectively evaluate secondary data 2,588 District...
