The aim of this paper is to (i) establish the role of asymmetric price decompositions in UK road transportation fuel demand, (ii) make explicit the impact of the underlying energy demand trend and (iii) disaggregate the estimation for gasoline and diesel demand as separate commodities. Dynamic UK transport oil demand functions are estimated using t...

The transfer of models trained on labeled datasets in a source domain to unlabeled target domains is made possible by unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, when dealing with complex time series models, the transferability becomes challenging due to the dynamic temporal structure that varies between domains, resulting in feature shifts and...
Share turnover is a key indicator for investing in the stock market, which represents how easy or difficult it is to trade a stock. Several techniques have been proposed to predict share turnover values. However, they are often inaccurate because they utilize single-view models that have an incomplete picture of the temporal dynamics. To address th...
Infectious disease epidemics are challenging for medical and public health practitioners. They require prompt treatment, but it is challenging to recognize and define epidemics in real time. Knowing the prediction of an infectious disease epidemic can evaluate and prevent the disease’s impact. Mathematical models of epidemics that work in real time...
A general framework to devise portmanteau-type test statistics for a general class of multivariate nonlinear time series models with vector martingale difference errors is formulated. Based on this framework a suite of individual and mixed multivariate test statistics is considered. Two applications are developed: single- and multiple-lag test stat...

... There are several factors that cause traffic congestion on road transport networks. These include shortage of parking spaces, bad roads, increased population, increased vehicle ownership, poor driving practises, work zones, and insufficient road capacity as the factors responsible for traffic congestions (Nushrat & Sanjay, 2018;Rao & Rao, 2012;Raheem et al., 2015;Broadstock, 2011;Pacione, 2005;Bashiru& Waziri, 2008;and Aworemi et al., 2009). ...
Over the years, studies on traffic congestion have been conducted to assess the causes and effects on road users' productivity, and the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is because traffic congestion restricts commuters' movements and also shapes their lifestyles. This paper examined the cause and effect of traffic congestion on road users at major road intersections in Minna. The study employed both experimental and survey research design to study the traffic congestion around the major road intersections in Minna. Traditional traffic count was conducted by the authors in order to determine vehicular traffic volumes and its composition around the intersection. While at the same time the authors randomly distributed 384 questionnaires to capture the resident perceptions on the possible causes and effect of traffic congestion on the users. The collected data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results suggest that there are 15,618 vehicular traffic volumes around the major intersections of roads in Minna, with private vehicles (i.e., 7231 cars) and tricycles (i.e., 4477 tricycles) accounting for the majority of the volumes. The study outcome also reveals among others that the presences of road side market, increased population, and lack of parking lots resulting to on street parking are some of the factors causing traffic congestion in the study area. In addition, some of the effects of traffic congestion identified were time wastage, higher transportation fare and higher fuel consumption. The study concluded that the effects of traffic congestion on road users in Minna were less when one compares it to that of mega cities in Nigeria. The study recommended that the Niger State Government, through her relevant agencies, should prevent unlawful road side commercial activities. They should also enlighten Minna residents about the dangers of establishing markets along the road sides.
