Keeping in view the scarcity of human resource management (HRM) literature about Pakistan, this book is useful for researchers, international investors and others interested in knowing management practices in Pakistan. It reviews the literature on integration and devolvement in various parts of the world. It also reports the findings of an empirical survey in fifty-two higher education institutes (HEIs) of Pakistan.The results of the study show that the HEIs are practicing a low level of integration and devolvement. The level of devolved decision-making and the direction of change in theses...

This text on inverted distributions and Theory of Inversion relates to the early work of Snedecor (1934), Merington and Thomson (1943). Since 1934 very little attention has been paid to this area, though some work has been done in eighties and nineties. In this book we discuss a theoretical framework for distributions closed under inversion, reviewed inverted distributions and present some concepts of closure and strict closure under inversion (CUI and SCUI). We provide the details of pervious work done by Gumbel and Keeney (1950), Seshadri (1950) and Saunders (1974). We investigate the...

The problem of sampling with probability proportonal to a size measure and with some control over the probabilities of joint selection of pair's of units has a history that goes back to about 1943.It is also well known that the problems related to sampling witout replacement with unequal probabilities have attracted and continue to attract the attention of many scholars and statisticians especially in recent years. In this monograph extensive dealing to design based and model based has been coverd. Some new estimators have been suggested to solve many problems. Most important point which has...

Filus and Filus (2001, 2006) developed some new class of probability distributions known as the pseudo distributions. In this book we have explored the distributional properties concomitants of order statistics of the bivariate pseudo distributions. The book presents rigorous material on distributional properties of concomitants of order statistics for quasi-Gaussian, pseudo-Gaussian, pseudo-Weibul and quasi-pseudo-Weibull distributions. The distribution of rth concomitant and joint distribution of rth and sth concomitant of order statistics has been presented in this book. The general case...

In this book we define univariate and bivariate gamma-type distributions and discuss some of their statistical functions, including the moment generating function. Numerous distributions such as the Rayleigh, half-normal and Maxwell distributions can be obtained as special cases. The moment generating function of both univariate and bivariate random variables are derived by making use of the inverse Mellin transform technique and expressed in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. These representations provide computable expressions for the moment generating functions of several of...

The characterization of distribution is useful for selection of adequate distribution to describe the observed values obtained in an experiment and is one of the methods of finding the distribution. Chapter 3 and 4 are concerned with the characterization developed by Kemp and Kemp (2004) and Ahmad and Roohi (2004). In Chapter 5, the recurrence relations between ordinary moments are established. A general characterization theorem, based on recurrence relation of ordinary moments is derived for a general class of discrete distributions. Chapter 6 deals with the recursive relations of factorial...

Ranked Set Sampling is one of the new areas of study in this region of the world and is a growing subject of research. Recently, researchers have paid attention to the development of the types of sampling; though it was not welcome in the beginning, it has numerous advantages over the classical sampling techniques. Ranked Set Sampling is doubly random and can be used in any survey designs.

The Pakistan Journal of Statistics had attracted statisticians and samplers around the world to write up aspects of Ranked Set Sampling. All of the essays in this book have been reviewed by many...
