Incremental Modernization of Statistics Teaching and Curriculum at Maseno University, Kenya
(International Association of Statistical Education, 2010)Modernisation of statistics teaching is a continual problem the world over. The advances in statistical methods and tools along with the growing demand of applied practitioners creates a dual need of people with the ... -
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 ... -
Influence of Entrepreneur and Firm Characteristics in Accessing Bank finance
(Stratford peer reviewed journal and book publishing, 2021)SMEs are mostly guided by the owners’ characteristics which is an indicator of the level of decisions taken in the firm. Access to credit is a prerequisite for a high performance of an SME. The paper aimed at establishing ... -
Influence of Teacher’s Perception of in-Service Program on Quality of Teaching Mathematics
(International Journal of Innovative Research and Development, 2020)Pre-service training is not adequate to last teachers for their entire career. Due to advancement in knowledge, technology and curriculum, teachers ought to update on teaching methodologies through In-service Education and ... -
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 ... -
Jumps in the Kenyan Interest Rates
(INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING, 2014-11-11)— In this paper, we use the Bernoulli Jump Diffusion (BJD) process to test for the existence and probability of jumps in the Kenyan interest rates. We test these using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method on ... -
Locally oriented noncrossing trees
(2015)We de ne an orientation on the edges of a noncrossing tree induced by the labels: for a noncrossing tree (i.e., the edges do not cross) with vertices 1; 2; : : : ; n arranged on a circle in this order, all edges are ... -
Logistic Regression on Effects of Relationship Between Condom Use on Comprehensive HIV Knowledge Among the Youths in Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2019-09-13)HIV/AIDS knowledge in Kenya is universal in that 99% of both male and female have heard of the epidemic and how it can be avoided. Despite the widespread knowledge of HIV/AIDS, comprehensive HIV knowledge which refers to ... -
Markovian Approach for Analyzing Patient Flow Data: A Study of Kapsabet County Referral Hospital, Kenya
(science publishing group, 2022)Hospital is indispensable and necessary welfare of society. Through it, we can manage our illnesses by treatment and prevention interventions. With the rise incidences of chronic diseases and illnesses, there has been an ... -
Mathematical Model for Pneumonia Dynamics with Carriers
(2013)There are major advances which have been made to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases. However, more than 2 million children in the developing countries still die from pneumonia each year. The efforts to ... -

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 ... -

Norm estimates for convexoid operators
(JOOUST, 2015-06-24)Hilbert space operators are important in formulation of principles of quantum mechanics and also in other fields of applied sciences. These operators include normal operators, hyponormal operators, normaloid operators, ... -
Norm of a derivation and hyponormal operators
(Int J Math Anal, 2010)We characterize when the norm of inner derivation on a norm ideal equals that on the quotient algebra. We further investigate norms of inner derivations implemented by normal and hyponormal operators on norm ... -
Norm Properties of S -Universal Operators
(Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 2020)We investigate the norm properties of a generalized derivation on a norm ideal J in B(H), the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. Specifically, we extend the concept of S−universality from the inner ... -
Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) = AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ...
