On Changepoint Detection in a Series ofStimulus-Response Data
(2017)n this paper, we demonstrate the power of functional data models for a statistic al analysis of stimulus-response experiments which is a quite natural way to look at this kind of data and which makes use of the full ... -
On Derivation of the Probability of Occurrence of an Epidemic with Application to HIV/AIDS Spread Given Tuberculosis Co-infections in the Presence of Treatment
(Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2017)Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) infections are two major world’s public health problems especially in developing countries. Worldwide, 13% of TB cases are estimated to be co-infected ... -
ON LOCAL LINEAR REGRESSION ESTIMATION IN SAMPLING SURVEYS
(Far East Journal of Theoretical Statistics, 2017)A model based survey is employed to estimate the unknown values of the survey variable, using the local linear regression approach. In particular, a local linear regression estimator in model based surveys is studied. ... -
On Local Linear Regression Estimation in Sampling Surveys
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2017)A model based survey is employed to estimate the unknown values of the survey variable, using the local linear regression approach. In particular, a local linear regression estimator in model based surveys is studied. ... -
On Local Linear Regression Estimation of Finite Population Totals in Model Based Surveys
(American Journal of Theoretical and Applied Statistics, 2018)In this paper, nonparametric regression is employed which provides an estimation of unknown finite population totals. A robust estimator of finite population totals in model based inference is constructed using the procedure ... -

On the Estimation and Properties of Logistic Regression Parameters
(IOSR Journal, 2014)Logistic regression is widely used as a popular model for the analysis of binary data with the areas of applications including physical, biomedical and behavioral sciences. In this study, the logistic regression model, ... -
Optimal Investment Strategy under Stochastic Interest Rates
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)We study how firms’ management can make effective investment decision under the influence of random interest rates. We define the threshold interest rate value below which investment can be effectively done and above ... -
Optimal threshold determination based on the meanexcess plot
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2019)Choosing a suitable threshold has been an issue in practice. Based on the mean excess plot (MEP), the eyeball inspection approach(EIA) is mainly used to determine the threshold. This involves fitting the threshold at the ... -
Optimization of Oyster Mushroom Yield By Using Simplex-Centroid Mixture Design
(Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2020)Despite the increased recognition of the nutritional value of the Oyster mushroom, coupled with its ability to tolerate a wide range of climatic conditions, its production is still at infancy stage with low adoption rate ... -
Organochlorine pesticide residues in sediment and water from NairobiRiver, Kenya: levels, distribution, and ecological risk assessment
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018)Production and use of most organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) was banned through the Stockholm Convention on persistentorganic pollutants. However, appreciable amounts are still detected in the environment due to their ... -
Organochlorine Pesticides Residues in Lake Naivasha Catchment Water
(2017)Lake Naivasha, Kenya, hangs precariously in balance between economic exploitation and biodiversity conservation. There is increasing intensity of horticultural activities around the lake, believed to result in excessive ... -
Participatory investigations of bovine trypanosomiasis in Tana River District, Kenya
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2002-04-04)Participatory research on bovine trypanosomiasis was conducted with Orma pastoralists in Tana River District, Kenya. The use of participatory methods to understand local perceptions of disease signs, disease causes, disease ... -
Performance Comparison between the Traditional Intensity Modulation Direct Detection and Coherent Detection in a High Speed Optical Fibre Communication System
(2015)Passive optical networks (PONs) have become a dominant approach for the fibreto–the-home (FTTH) network deployments. Reliable and spectral efficient technologies are a necessity for extending the unamplified transmission ... -
Performance of a horizontal well in a bounded anisotropic reservoir: Part II: Performance analysis of well length and reservoir geometry
(De Gruyter Open Access, 2023-06)Evaluation of the performance of horizontal wells is an important aspect in the enhancement of their productivity. This study provides mathematical computations, and analysis for theoretical well and reservoir considerations. ... -
The Performance of Step-Wise Group Screening Designs
(Sultan Qaboos University, 2015)In this paper we evaluate the performance of step-wise group screening designs in which group-factors contain an equal number of factors in the initial step. A usual assumption in group screening designs is that the ... -
Photometric sensing of heavy metal ions using a naphthoquinodimethyl-bis-thioamide dye: Selectivity & photophysics of the metal organic complexes
(Elsevier, 2022)As Mother Nature is experiencing catastrophic environmental pollutions from both natural sources and anthropogenic activities, many scientists have been working around the clock to develop environmentally benign and ... -
