EFFECT OF SAMPLE SIZE, ABILITY DISTRIBUTION AND TEST LENGTH ON DETECTION OF DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING USING MANTEL-HAENSZEL STATISTIC
(2017-05-05)
Differential Item Functioning (DIF) is a statistical method that determines if test
measurements distinguish abilities by comparing two sub-population outcomes on
an item. The Mantel-Haenszel (MH) statistic provides an ...
Zero Inflated Poisson Mixture Distributions
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2017)
This paper presents a method of constructing the Zero inflated Poisson continuous mixture distributions which have applications in various fields. The distributions can be formed by either direct integration or integration ...
Evaluation of the Parasight platform for malaria diagnosis
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2017-03-01)
The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 500 million malaria tests are performed annually. While microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are the main diagnostic approaches, no single method is inexpensive, ...
Land Tenure Systems in Kisumu City;The formal- Informal Dichtomy
(International Journal of Sciences, 2017)

On the maximal numerical range of elementary operators
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2017-02)
The notion of the numerical range has been generalized in different directions.
One such direction, is the maximal numerical range introduced by Stampfli (1970) to derive
an identity for the norm of a derivation on L(H). ...
On the Numerical Range of a Generalized Derivation
(HIKARI Ltd,, 2017)
We examine the relationship between the numerical range of the
restriction of a generalized derivation to a norm ideal J and that of its
implementing elements.
