Role of Big Data Analytics in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI): Multivariate Analysis with Gaussian Distribution of Data

Abstract

This manuscript focuses on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China, whereby the focus is on the engagement of big data analytics to comprehend logistics exertion. China is the trendsetter for revolutionary practices in trade, logistics, and technology. The recent progress the nation is thriving is on ‘One Belt One Road’ project whereby 65 countries are involved. It aims to connect continents and circulate smooth trade between them. This paper addresses the role of the database to identify the inter-model logistics in BRI. The merits of this project in the perspective of economic growth are measured through a quantitative study with 112 samples. Goal-setting theory is used to construct a conceptual framework for the research. Multivariate analysis is executed with SmartPLS 3.3.3 followed by an in-depth structural equation modeling. Normal distribution of data was given importance as in statistics the real-value of random variables whose distributions are not known, thus Gaussian distribution of data was used. Out of 6 Hypotheses, it is noted that five are significantly positive. Hypothesis testing is concluded based on p-value and t-statistics. The outcome of research suggests that big-data analytics is a major contributor in determining the significant model on logistics in Belt and Road Initiative.

Impact of Fintech on Islamic Bank Performance in Malaysia: Descriptive Study on Fintech

“…As a result, consumer investments and loans are made easier [19]. The key conclusion is that Islamic banking did not affect interest revenue or interest expenditure in small and big banks [8]. However, Islamic baking increased small banks' fee revenue by 0.315, including an adjusted ܴ2 of 56.2%, which answers the RQ1.…”

“…The concept of mobile-banking is part of e-banking, whereas, the payment channel in mobile banking can be classified under FinTech [7]. Fintech is the new applications, processes, products, or business models in the financial services industry, composed of one or more complementary financial services and provided as an end-to-end process via the Internet [8]. Theory of technology and innovation describes about the meta-learning concept, and the concept of technological interdependence which are used to relate technology and innovation to strategic management [9].…”

“…The ordinary least squares approach has been used to predict parameters in regression equations and independently assessed coefficients. The rest of the paper is organized in the following manner [8]. Section II explains the method of data collection and variables utilized in the research.…”

Re-Engineering Approach on Human Resources Management Practices (HRMP) Towards Chinese Teaching System in Nursing Programs

“…For instance, an R-value less than 0.3 represent a weak relationship and an R-value more than 0.5 indicates a strong relationship. In this case, the R square value is 0.381 which represents a direct relation between nursing teaching and HRM practice [9]. The R square value is 0.247 in the second regression test, and the Sig.…”

“…Based on the study objectives, all topics have been constructed to conduct a measurement model in order to answer the research question. As mentioned by [9], the advantages of measurement model are that it helps in relating the research context with real-time context and meets the research objectives. Moreover, descriptive design and inductive approach have been followed in this research.…”
