The Indus River, a lifeline for Pakistan, holds paramount significance for its geography, history, and economy. This research delves into a comprehensive analysis of the river's behavior by introducing a novel statistical framework. Combining the Gumbel Type 2 distribution and the Rayleigh distribution, a new generalized Gumbel Type 2 (GG2) distrib...

Anemia remains a major public health concern in all nations, particularly affecting children worldwide. This disorder, which is defined as low hemoglobin or red blood cells in the blood, has multiple causes, the most common one being iron deficiency. The prevalence of anemia among children in Pakistan have been modeled by conducting a thorough stat...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infection or disease that directly affects the lungs. Pakistan stands 5th ranks amongst the high burden countries in the world. This study addresses the relationships between different tuberculosis cases in the province of Pakistan. The study is used to find which province reported high tuberculosis cases like (bacter...

The usage of energy is the central factor in promoting the contribution of the industrial sector economy to develop the economy. Indeed, Pakistan is a growing but recently united country with severe shortages of electricity resources. Therefore, the industry has a growing quantity of growth that leads to economic progress and also prioritizes inevi...

Overthinking is most common in students nowadays after the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan. The main reason behind this is due to lockdown or quarantine at home for a long time. The coronavirus infected many people some have died, and this may cause worry and ruminative thoughts that result in mental illness. This research is designed to study the si...

The goal of this study is to investigate the performance of the Markov regime switching autoregressive (MRS-AR) model to estimate and forecast the gold prices in Pakistan. Initial analysis of the data covering from January 1995 to January 2019 reveals the existence of nonstationarity, heteroscedasticity, and structural changes. The dynamics of the...

Purpose: The research aims to build a suitable model for the conditional mean and conditional variance for forecasting the rate of inflation in Pakistan by summarizing the properties of the series and characterizing its salient features. Design/Methodology/Approach: For this purpose, Pakistan’s Inflation Rate is based upon the Consumer Price Index...

This study addresses the linkage between the gross domestic product and infrastructure in Pakistan. The time frame taken for this study is from 1977-2019. The information utilized in this study is taken from reliable sources; World Bank. ARDL method is utilized in this study with the assistance of E-VIEWS 10 programming. To consider the effect of i...

This study investigates the impact of Exchange Rate (Rupees Vs US $) and oil prices (Pak. Petroleum) and on the inflation rate in Pakistan by applying the Co-Integration technique to the monthly data for all the three series ranging from January 2004 to January 2019. Unit root testing results provide strong statistical evidence for each of the seri...

Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and second most common cancer after lung cancer. The prognosis of breast cancer depends on early detection and intervention which in turn relies upon awareness. Health workers in all communities are responsible for educating the population at risk. This study evaluates the...

In this article, we have derived a new distribution named as Rayleigh–Rayleigh distribution (RRD) motivated by the transformed transformer technique by Alzaatreh, Lee, and Famoye (2013). The statistical properties of RRD, comprising of explicit expressions for quantile function, moments, moment generating function, mean deviation, skewness, kurtosi...

The importance of forecasting has grown during the last three decades. This study considers a comparison between actual and forecast by modelling in the context of linear regression model through Box-Cox transformation. The models are fitted with the assumption of non-constant variance of the residuals. First of all, the transformation parameters,...

In this paper we compare the performance of different GARCH models such as GARCH, EGARCH, GJR and APARCH models, to characterize and forecast financial time series volatility in Pakistan. The comparison is carried out by comparing symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models with normal and fat-tailed distributions for the innovations, over short and long...
