State as a case study. The methodology employed in the analysis of the data collection was chi-square test and descriptive statistics. Important issues raised are that the age range 20-29 has the highest reported cases and based on gender the females have the higher rate of STDs than male as reported in the data collected. live has the highest frequency of 1463 and death with 135 of the reported cases The year with the highest reported cases is 2018 under study. There is no significant difference between life status and year, life status and type of diseases, life status and gender, Life status and age since their p-values are less than 0.05 and accept null hypothesis, while there's a significant difference between age group and gender since the p-value is greater than 0.05 and reject the null hypothesis.
Household surveys collect information on social and demographic characteristics in which the household constitutes the sampling units. They are effective means of obtaining variety of data needed for informed policy formulation and monitoring of national development. Despite their increasing recognition, household surveys suffer from non-response which creates bias estimates leading to wrong inference if not properly addressed. Existing estimators for handling missing values focused on the quality of missing value estimates without considering the resulting effects on location and scale parameters with regard to the nature of missingness and number of missing values. The convoluted weighted method was more efficient than the existing estimators with increasing number and nature of missingness. Its use will enhanced the level of precision of the estimated population parameter in the presence of missing values in household surveys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
