Audit Sampling
in Health Sector, Government of West Bengal 1998-99
(Project Leader:
Arijit Chaudhuri)
A project was undertaken by the Institute
to develop methods of statistical sampling to carry out Internal Audit
in the Health Sector as sponsored by the Ministry of Finance, Government
of West Bengal. This was started on 1 April, 1999 and completed on 30 April
2000. A 'Report' on this has been prepared and submitted to the sponsors.
The project team was composed of T.J. Rao, Palash Sarkar, Subir Mitra,
D.K. Chaturvedi, Sm. Kasturi Basu and Arijit Chaudhuri. Most of the office
assistance was received from Applied Statistics Unit, Accounts Department,
Reprography Unit and the Transport Unit.
Tracer Study of
ITI Graduates
(Project Leader: Bimal
Kumar Roy)
This project, funded by the Directorate
General of Employment & Training, Ministry of Labour, Govt. of India,
was conducted by ISI to assess the employability/self-employability of
ITI certificate holders.
Development of
Statistical Techniques as an Aid to Geological Mapping
(Project Leader: J.K. Ghosh; Coordinator:
Tapas
Samanta)
This collaborative project was funded
by the Council for Scientific & Industrial Research. A sampling scheme
for allocation of optimum number of observation points to most appropriate
locations was developed.
Risk Analysis
of a Long-Term Agreement
(Project Coordinators: B.K. Sinha,
G.M. Saha, Debasis Sengupta)
Scientists from several units of ISI
collaborated with ASU scientists on this inter-disciplinary project funded
by the Coal India Limited, to assess the risk on the part of a coal supplier
from an agreement with a utility company for the supply of coal. A risk
analysis model, called Model for Analysing the Supply of Coal (MASC), and
a corresponding software was developed.
A Comparison of
Robust Density-Based Minimum Distance Methods with Traditional Robust Procedures
(Project Leader: Ayanendranath
Basu)
This was an ISI-funded project. Several
minimum distance methods of inference were constructed, their robustness
studied theoretically and algoritms for their efficient computation developed.
Software Development
for Cryptanalysis
(Project Leader: Bimal
Kumar Roy)
This project, funded by the Defense
Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), was taken up by ISI jontly
with the Bengal Engineering College. The aim of the project is to develop,
implement and evaluate cryptanalysis of LFSR-based encryption schemes.
A Statistical
Projection of HIV Incidence in Calcutta
(Project Leader: Ayanendranath
Basu)
This is an ISI-funded project. A preliminary
projection of HIV incidence in Calcutta has been obtained on the basis
of pooled information from various sources. Work on bootstrap confidence
intervals as well as sensititvity analysis is in progress.
Small Area Estimation
of Population for the Districts of Hugli and Murshidabad
(Project Leader: Parimal
Mukhopadhyay)
This ISI-funded survey project has
been taken up to estimate certain socio-economic characteristics of households
in a few municipal areas of two districts in West Bengal.
Analysis of Incomplete
Life Time Data
(Project Leader: Anup
Dewanji)
In this ISI-funded project, A nonparametric
estimator of cause specific hazard rates in competing risks with missing
failure types has been developed. Robust and nonparametric estimators of
a number of component processes in a system of superimposed iid renewal
processes have also been obtained. Work on other types of incomplete
data is in progress.
Regression Models
for Survival Data
(Project Leader: Debasis
Sengupta)
This ISI-funded project aims to develop
a comprehensive set of diagnostics for the proportional hazards and other
regression models for survival data.
Optical Character
Recognition of Printed Telugu Script
(Project Leader: C.H.
Sastry)
This is an ISI-funded project. Various
issues related to segmentation and tilt correction of scanned text images
of Telugu script are being studied.
Telugu Language
Processing
(Project Leader: C.H.
Sastry)
This ISI-funded project is aimed at
studying the statistical characteristics of the written form of the telugu
language.
Applications of
2-D Cellular Automata
(Project Leader: Pabitra
Palchaudhury)
This ISI-funded project has been undertaken
in order to study the mathematical properties of nearest neighborhood 2D
CA transformations. |
