Socio-economic determinants of low birth weight in Kenya: Logistic regression analysis
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Babies born with Low-birth weight are at increased risk for serious health problems which are
accompanied by disabilities and even death. Hence this study aims to determine socioeconomic
factors that lead to low birth ...
Cramér-Rao Bound of Direction-Finding using uniform Hexagonal Array
(University of Embu, 2019-09)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is an important branch in the field of array signal processing. It can be applied in such fields as wireless communication, sonar, radar, biomedicine, and radio detection. This fact ...
An Investigation of the Latent Semantic Analysis Technique for Document Retrieval
(2014)
Latent semantic analysis (LSA) application in information retrieval promises to offer
better performance by overcoming some limitations that plagues traditional termmatching
techniques. These term-matching techniques ...
Review of Methods of Estimating Parameters In Nonlinear Mixed-Effects (Nlme) Models
(University of Nairobi, 2007-07)
This study is a critical review of theoreticalissues that underline the linear mixed effects
(LME) and nonlinear mixed effects (NLME) models. These two areas are revisited under
maximum likelihood and restricted ...
