Abstract |
In the present study, the marriage distance pattern of females from western Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), India is analysed. The suitability of Pareto-exponential function in the study region is tested and two other models viz; Gamma and Weibull distribution with two parameters are proposed. The performance of all the three above models across different categories is compared, and then to observe the effect of various covariates on marriage distance Gamma regression is applied. Based on the study, interesting pattern and relationship through the models applied to the data are found. |
