"THE PRESENCE OF LARGE HERDS OF CATTLE IN MAGWI COUNTY IS ALARMING" Governor Lobong. On 18 February 2022 (OPARI)..

For hundreds of years, the Dinka people refer to themselves as Monyjang, “People of the people.” They live a pastoral lifestyle mixed with agriculture. There is some migration from one region to the other with their livestock and animals. Their main occupation is cattle/goat husbandry The Dinka groups retain the traditional pastoral life of the Nilotes, but have added agriculture in some areas, growing grains, peanuts, beans, corn (maize) and other crops.

Their culture incorporated strategies for dealing with the annual cycle of one long dry season and one long rainy season. Tall Peo...

Definition, Causes, Consequences and Solutions for Autocorrelation, Heteroscedasticity, Multicollinearity and Specification error. Autocorrelation Autocorrelation refers to the degree of  correlation  between the values of the same variables across different observations in the data .   The concept of autocorrelation is most often discussed in the context of  time series  data in which observations occur at different points in time (e.g., air temperature measured on different days of the month). For example, one might expect the air temperature on the 1st day of the month to be more similar to the temperature on the 2nd day compared to the 31st day.  If the temperature values that occurred closer together in time are, in fact, more similar than the temperature values that occurred farther apart in time, the data would be auto correlated. However, autocorrelation can also occur in cross-sectional data when the observations are related in some other w...
