Statistical analysis of neonatal mortality at Pumwani maternity Hospital Nairobi County
(Kenyatta University, 2014)Despite numerous interventions and action plans, very little evidence exists on why the infant and child mortality rates are increasing in Kenya. Most studies have focused on infant and child mortality putting neonatal ... -
Statistical analysis of the determinants of maternal mortality and impact of voucher for health in Kisumu sub-county, Kenya
(Kenyatta University, 2014)Globally in 2010, about 800 women died daily due to complications of pregnancy and child birth (WHO, 2010). Out of the 800 deaths, 440 deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, 230 in Southern Asia and only five in high-income ... -

A study of the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards mathematics in some primary teachers colleges
(2012-05-18)This study investigated the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards mathematics in some primary teachers' colleges. The study examined the attitudes of the trainees based on a number of variables which included sex of ... -
Aspects of controllability of autonomous systems in locally convex topological spaces
(2012-05-16)In this project, two theorems in (6) on controllability of autonomous systems defined with the help of ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) in finite dimensional vector spaces is genralized to infinite dimensional locally ... -
Multivariate process contol
(2012-05-04)It is important that a consumer gets the quality of a product she/he wants. As a consequence, the quality of a finished product should be controlled to a desire level. This is done through statistical quality control.We ... -
Residuals influence and weighting in estimation of regression parameters
(2012-04-20)We consider analysis and fitting models of the regression data in the fields, which exhibit non-constant variances, which are referred to as regression models. We focus on various approaches and procedures used in estimating ...
