Envisioning Change in the Statistics-Education Climate.
(Statistics Education Research Journa, 2020-02-01)The African Data Initiative started as a crowd-sourced campaign to improve the teaching of statistics in African universities. The analysis of climate data provides one suitable context to illustrate ideas that lead to a ... -
International Journal of Mathematical Archive-2 (10), 2011, Page: 2027-2029 Available online through www. ijma. info ISSN 2229–5046
(IJMA, 2011)In this paper, the age-structured population matrix, also known as Leslie matrix, has been extended to model the dynamics of migrating individuals. Aggregation techniques have been used to estimate the parameters of the ... -
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 ... -
Inference Properties of QIC in the Selection of Covariates for Generalized Estimating Equations
(HIKARI Ltd, 2019)The Quasi-likelihood information criterion (QIC)which results from utilizing Kullbacks I-divergence as the targeted discrepancy is widely used in the GEE framework to select the best correlation structure and the best ... -
Consistency Inference Property of QIC in Selecting the True Working Correlation Structure for Generalized Estimating Equations
(Science Publishing Group, 2019-06-29)The generalized estimating equations (GEE) is one of the statistical approaches for the analysis of longitudinal data with correlated response. A working correlation structure for the repeated measures of the outcome ... -
Spatial Comparison and Quality Check of Farmer-recorded Daily Rainfall Data; A Case of Nyakach and Soin-sigowett, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-01-09)Small scale farming is currently still heavily dependent on rainfall in developing nations. With the challenge of climate change, many innovations are proposed to help the farmers mitigate and adapt. The use of historical ... -
Fitting Time-series Models to Kisumu Rainfall Data for the Period 1961-2014
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-02-20)Many small-scale farmers require adequate forecasts to help them plan for the rainfall. The National Meteorological Service provides forecasts seasonally, monthly and weekly. The forecasts are qualitative in nature hence ... -

Statistical trend analysis of residential water demand in Kisumu City, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-04-16)This study sought to analyse trend in the monthly water demand data series in Kisumu city at both seasonal and non-seasonal levels using the parametric method of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and non-parametric methods of ... -
Modeling trailer-traffic flow on a Kenyan highway
(2014)Traffic flow modelling is studied in order to ease congestion on roads. However, congestion is also caused by irregular occurrences, such as traffic accidents, poor roads, vehicle disablement, spilled loads and hazardous ... -
Modelling of distribution of the “Matatu” traffic flow using Poisson distribution in a highway in Kenya
(HIKARI Ltd, 2018)Traffic congestion in urban road and freeway networks leads to strong degradation of the network infrastructure and accordingly reduced output. Expansion of the available transportation continues to be one of the solution ... -
