The bootstrap methods are used extensively in statistical analysis of econometric and time series models. In small sample situations, where the asymptotic theory does not work well to approximate the unknown sampling distribution of a statistic, bootstrap methods are used as an alternative. The idea is that the observed sample contains useful information about the population characteristics and resampling from it can give a good approximation to the sampling distribution. Therefore, bootstrap approximations can provide better small sample performance than those obtained from asymptotic theory. The main focus of the present work is the application of bootstrap methods to time series models. The current study has three dimensions. The first part is concerned with the construction of bootstrap prediction intervals for autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average processes which is a special class of long memory time series. For linear short-range dependent time series, the bootstrap based prediction interval is a good nonparametric alternative to those constructed under parameter assumptions. In the long memory case, we use AR-sieve bootstrap which approximates the data generating process of a given long memory time series by a finite order autoregressive process and resample the residuals. For the construction of prediction intervals, we applied two sieve bootstrap algorithms. A simulation study is conducted to examine and compare the performance of these AR-sieve bootstrap procedures. We use four different values of the long memory parameter d.For the purpose of illustration a real data example is also presented. In second part of this work, we propose two bootstrap procedures to construct prediction intervals for ARFIMA-GARCH models. The first method is based on the model based bootstrap, in which the order of the model is assumed to be known. The second bootstrap method is based on the idea of approximating the ARFIMA part by an AR model. In modeling the ARFIMA-GARCH model, the first step is to determine the order of ARFIMA part. Determination of the order of ARFIMA model is a complicated task. To simplify the model building procedure, we approximate the ARFIMA part of the ARFIMA-GARCH model by an AR(p) model and fit an AR-GARCH model instead of ARFIMA-GARCH model. The third part of this thesis is based on testing goodness-of-fit in Autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average models with conditional hetroscedasticity. We extend the applicability of Hong’s and power transformed Hong’s test statistics as goodness-of-fit tests in ARFIMA-GARCH models where the structural form of GARCH model is unknown. Simulation study is performed to assess the size and power performance of both tests.

ہم ہیں وطن کے پاسباں/ ہم وطن کے محافظ

ہم ہیں وطن کے پاسباں /ہم وطن کے محافظ
وطن اس خطہ زمین کو کہتے ہیں جس سے انسان کو نسبت ہوتی ہے، جس کی فضا سے انس ہوتا ہے، جس کی ہوا سے اسے موانست ہوتی ہے۔ یہ فطر تی بات ہے کہ جس جگہ انسان کی پیدائش ہوتی ہے وہاں کی ذی روح اور غیر ذوی العقول مخلوق سے قلبی لگاؤ ہوتا ہے اور پھر اس تعلق اور لگاؤ کی بنیاد ہر دم واپسیں تک اس کا یہ سلسلہ مؤدت قائم رہتا ہے۔
انسان کے ساتھ اس محبت اور پیار کے اٹوٹ انگ کے طور پر عمر بھر منسلک رہتا ہے اور یوں اس کے شب و روز گزرتے رہتے ہیں ۔بحیثیت مسلمان تو وطن کے ساتھ محبت اور بھی زیادہ ہوتی ہے کیونکہ ارشاد رسالت مآب صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم ہے ــ’’ حب الوطن من الایمان‘‘ وطن کی محبت ایمان سے ہے۔ یعنی تکمیل ایمان کے لیے وطن کی محبت انتہائی ضروری ہے۔ اور یہ جس کے ساتھ حقیقی محبت ہو، جس کے ساتھ زندگی کے ایّام بحسن وخوبی گزارے ہوں، اُس کی حفاظت اور اس کی پاسبانی بھی ضروری ہو جاتی ہے۔ اگر اُس کی حفاظت اور پاسبانی کا فریضہ ادا کرنے پرنفس آمادہ نہ ہو اورطبع نازک پر یہ گراں گزرے تو پھر وطن کی محبت کا دعویٰ زبانی کلامی تو ہو سکتا ہے اس کا حقیقت کے ساتھ دور کا بھی واسط نہیں ہوتا۔ ایک شخص حفاظت کا دعویدار ہے لیکن اس کی موجودگی میں عنادل خوش الحان کی بجائے بوم نے شاخہائے وطن پر قبضہ کر رکھا ہے تو اس کی حفاظت اور محبت کا یہ دعویٰ کھوکھلا ہے۔ ایک دہقاں کی زبان کھیت و کھلیان سے محبت کا اظہار کرتی ہے لیکن اس کی خوبصورتی کو خس و خاشاک نے ختم کیا ہوا ہے تو اس کا...

Facial Skin Health: Antioxidant Facial Scrub From Red Dragon Fruit Extract

This article discusses Facial Skin Health as seen from Antioxidant Facial Scrub from Red Dragon Fruit Extract. One way to treat your face is to use a scrub. Giving a natural facial scrub has many benefits, including refreshing, repairing and firming facial skin. Antioxidants contained in red dragon fruit include betalains which function to inhibit the growth of bad cholesterol and flavonoids which are related to brain health and reduce the risk of heart disease. Scrub functions to remove dead skin cells on the surface of the body's skin which is rough and dull. In addition, it also functions to help speed up the turnover of new, clean and healthy body skin cells. Dragon fruit face scrub can also smooth the skin. Rough skin is usually caused by a build-up of dead skin cells. The content of vitamin C, protein and folic acid is said to be effective in removing these dead skin cells.

Medical Malpractice: An Analytical Study in the Light of Shariah & Law

Medical malpractice is professional misconduct or unreasonable lack of skill by the practitioners in the field of medicine. At present, such malpractices are not only an issue of developing countries but of developed countries as well. In Pakistan, the situation of law regarding medical malpractice has not remained very encouraging, for two main reasons. First, Pakistan lags behind in healthcare system, although its basic structure is quite similar to the world’s leading systems, that is, ‘National Healthcare System’ of England. Lamentably, this extensive infrastructure has not been translated in delivery of good healthcare due to the lack of political will, thorough supervision, insufficient legislation and inefficeinet implementation. Secondly, Pakistan, being former colony of British India, provides ‘law of torts’ to be invoked in cases of medical negligence, that has reached to commendable maturity in England nonetheless an immature segment of legislation in Pakistan. Consequently, unlike recent past, very few instances of medical malpractice were brought into litigation. However, a recent increase in number of such cases seems a good indicator to show that the law of medical malpractice has started taking roots in Pakistan under the influence of different jurisdictions. Thus, following Indian example, Pakistan has included medical services within the ambit of consumer protection laws. However, it is detestable to include medical services within the scope of consumer laws. It may lead to an acceptance to the element of consumerism in the field of medicine, which is a noble profession to serve humanity rather than a business venture for the maximization of profit. Sharī‘ah, on the other hand, provides basic guidelines regarding medical ethics and liability of medical practitioners in case of medical malpractice that may be adopted in legal system of Pakistan. Moreover, its criminal law provides a complete tariff of monetary compensation for bodily harm. Pakistan can learn lessons from Sharī‘ah and English law, in order to develop a comprehensively dedicated law on the given subject. Thus, this thesis suggests proposal for development of medical malpractice law for Pakistan in the light of Sharī‘ah and English law.
