    Abstract: This study applies life table functions and survival analysis to determine school life expectancy in Ghanaian private and public Basic Schools from grade 1 to grade 9 (JHS 3). The Kaplan Meier statistics such as Log Rank (Mantel-Cox), Breslow (Generalized Wilcoxon), and Tarone-Ware tests consistently showed a statistically significant difference be... Show More

    Abstract: Subjective selection of weights in method of combining objective functions in a multi – objective programming problem may favour some objective functions and thus suppressing the impact of others in the overall analysis of the system. It may not be possible to generate all possible Pareto optimal solution as required in some cases. In this paper we... Show More
