Application of Auxiliary Variables in Two-Step Semi-Parametric Multiple Imputation Procedure in the Estimation of Population Mean
(Kenyatta University, 2018-06) -
A Continous-Time Optimal Investment and Consumption Strategy for Commercial Banks under the Hamilton-Jacob-Bellman Optimization Technique with Bounded Interest Rates
(Kenyatta University, 2021)The CIR model is used to model interest rates in this project, which analyses an investment and consumption problem under bounded interest rate conditions. Our goal is to determine the optimal investment and consumption ... -
Estimation of the Population Variance Using a Smoothing Operator Under Simple Random Sampling
(Kenyatta University, 2019-06)Variance estimation has been a major concern in sample survey theory. The problem in estimation theory is to determine estimators that have smaller variance under a given model speci cation. However, existing variance ... -
High-risk sex practice and its determinants among HIV-positive women on HIV care services: a case of Thika level 5 hospital, Kiambu, Kenya
(Kenyatta University, 2014)HIV/AIDS remains a major health issue in Kenya and in the whole world. Over 34 million people are currently living with the HIV and a majority of them are in the Sub-Sahara Africa; a big pool for potential HIV transmission. ... -
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters For Poisson-Exponential Distribution Under Progressive Type I Interval Censoring
(Kenyatta University, 2020)The problem of estimating the parameters of Poisson-Exponential distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring is considered. Previously, researchers have considered maximum likelihood estimation under the ... -
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters of Lomax Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Hybrid Censoring Scheme.
(Kenyatta University, 2018)Lomax distribution is an important lifetime distribution. The process of obtaining estimates of parameters for di erent lifetime distributions under various schemes still remains an area of interest. In Lomax distribution, ... -
Robust M-Estimators of the Population Mean.
(Kenyatta University, 2018-07)Valuable information may be contained in outliers. Data collected from many medical equipment such as the ECG time-series may result in unusual patterns, a situation that may represent disease conditions. Some outliers ... -
A Statistical Investigation to Determine the Predisposing Risk Factors for Predicting Prevalence of Active Tuberculosis in North Pokot Sub County, West Pokot County, Kenya
(Kenyatta University, 2018-10)Tuberculosis is a major threat to world health. Finding out the TB cases and treatment of the disease are the tenet means of controlling TB transmission and reducing its incidence. In many industrialized countries, the ... -
A statistical study of factors associated with psychosis at Mathari Hospital, Nairobi
(Kenyatta University, 2015-11)Although there are known factors associated with increased risk of developing psychosis, the exact etiology remains elusive. Psychosocial and biological factors are known to interact in their development. Factors such ...
