Title A name given to the resource Using Item Response Theory to Understand Item-Nonresponse (Missing Data) in Ghanaian Surveys Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdul Iddrisu Wahab Description An account of the resource After reviewing the theoretical and empirical literature on Item Response Theory (IRT) and Item-Nonresponse, this study investigates three issues: Firstly, to identify the most appropriate IRT model for understanding item-nonresponse. Secondly, to find out the reason behind ''don't know'' responses and missing data; whether respondents don‟t really know, don‟t care, or don‟t want to tell. Finally, to find out the characteristics of nonrespondents in Ghanaian surveys. Secondary analyses were done on questionnaire data collected in the 5th wave of the world values survey. All items were dichotomously scored. 0 was assigned to missing or „don‟t know‟ responses, and 1 was assigned to answered items. The data was analysed based on four item response theory models namely, the constrained Rasch model, the unconstrained Rasch model, the two parameter logistic model, and the three parameter logistic model … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ECTxVnYAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=ECTxVnYAAAAJ:LkGwnXOMwfcC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a7ea0c38e56510b2ca1054f770d332a3.pdf 3535c7c90ac8eae7595ffec01b868c03 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Modeling and Forecasting of Ghana’s Inflation Volatility Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdul-Karim Iddrisu, Dominic Otoo, Iddrisu Wahab Abdul, Sylvia Ankamah Description An account of the resource In this paper, we assessed volatility of Ghana’s inflation rates for 2000 to 2018 using the auto-regressive conditionally heteroskedasticity (ARCH), generalized ARCH (GARCH), and the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) models. The inflation data were obtained from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). The proposed model should be able to provide projections of inflation volatility from 2019 and beyond. The results showed that higher order models are required to properly explain Ghana’s inflation volatility and the EGARCH(12, 1) is the best fitting model for the data. The EGARCH(12, 1) model is robust to model and forecast volatility of inflation rates. Also, the results suggest that we are forecasting increasing volatility and there is increasing trend in general prices of goods and services for 2018 and beyond. The forecasts figures revealed that Ghana’s economy is likely to be unstable in 2018 and 2019. This study therefore recommends that policy makers and industry players need to put in place stringent monetary and fiscal policies that would put the anticipated increase in inflation under control. The models were implemented using R software.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Institutional Policies in Promoting Agribusiness Development in Rural China Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Acheampong Patrick Owusu Samuel Mensah, Zhuang Jincai, Asare Bediako Isaac Description An account of the resource Sustainable agricultural growth has become an area of interest for many researchers in the quest to increase food production in the midst of an escalating population. However, the evidence remains largely scanty, isolated and devoid of an in-depth analysis of how some economic policies promote agribusiness development in mainland China. Using time series data from 1990 to 2013, this paper adopts semi-parametric quantile regression to study the complex relationship between institutional policies in rural areas and agribusiness development. The study revealed the role of family household in promoting agribusiness development at the higher quantiles of the distribution. Moreover, government investment in rural health and education contributed significantly across the quantile distribution. The impact of research and development on agribusiness development is positively significant across the quantile points of the distribution within the study period. The result from the quantile graph clearly shows the disparities between OLS and quantile regression coefficients.

Title A name given to the resource A thematic and grounded theory understanding of faculty adoption of blended learning in higher education Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Emmanuel Freeman, Hannah Muat Description An account of the resource This paper assesses the teaching and learning experiences of faculty understanding of blending learning in a Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ghana. The driving force for this paper is the transformational agenda of most HEIs to integrate technology with teaching and learning. The study posits that the adoption of blended learning for teaching and learning by faculty members in HEIs interplay with external and internal factors within and without the universities. Nonetheless, blended learning approaches in teaching boils down to motivation as the core concern around which these afore mentioned factors revolve. The experiences of fifteen faculty members using blended learning at the Ghana Technology University College was analysed using Thematic Analysis and Grounded Theory to develop a BL model.

Title A name given to the resource Development of a matrix model of a closed cement grinding scheme Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexander Nikolaevich Chokhonelidze, Akway Villilam Brown, Forgor Lempogo Description An account of the resource This article develops a model of a closed shredding scheme in a ball mill with a separator with high efficiency at a cement plant. Various existing approaches to the development of such models are investigated and a new one is proposed. Based on the principle of material balance and stochastic representation of particle motion in the grinding system and using grinding and classification matrices, the Markov chain model is presented for a scheme consisting of a ball mill and a separator with high efficiency. The grinding matrix is calculated using the selection and crushing functions, and the classification matrix is determined by the Tromp separator curve. The results of field experiments conducted at an experienced cement plant are used to determine model parameters. Retrospective technological data related to the operation of a pilot grinding scheme,applied to check the model and determine the limiting process conditions. Using numerical simulation, the relationships between the controlled (loading of raw materials; separator cut-off size) and the observed (cement size characteristics; productivity; specific energy consumption) parameters of the circuit are determined.

Title A name given to the resource Development of an automated control system for closed-circuit grinding using a control method with predictive models Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexander Nikolaevich Chokhonelidze, Forgor Lempogo, William Brown-Aquay Description An account of the resource This article has developed a regularized predictive control based on the l2-norm of the impulse characteristic of the final duration (KIX) with entry restrictions and input speed for the model of a closed grinding scheme in a ball mill with a separator with high efficiency at a cement plant. The basis of the assessment module was a simple filter of constant power disorders. The problem of the regulator based on KIH was solved by the task of convex quadratic programming (KP) by converting the target function into a standard form. KP decided using an algorithm based on the internal point method. To assess an unknown violation, an assessment module was used by solving the optimization problem.The purpose of an automated control system is to simulate a cement grinding scheme by modeling the relationship between multiple input and output variables and providing an effective control mechanism.
