Multinomial Logistic Modelling of Socio-Economic Factors Influencing Spending Behavior of University Students
(2019-06)This study aims at determining the use of Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) model which is one of the important methods for categorical data analysis. This model particularly deals with one nominal or ordinal response ... -
Numerical simulation of the deterministic model of the under-five year’s pneumonia in Kenya
(2016)In this paper the numerical simulation of the childhood pneumonia deterministic model are determined. The estimated parameters and the under-five year’s population data for year 2013 was used to simulate the developed ... -
On Analytical Approach to Semi-Open/Semi-Closed Sets
(2017-03)The concept of open and closed sets has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various properties of these sets have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, scanty literature is available ... -
On the Number of Cyclotomic Cosets and Cyclic Codes over Z13
(UoEm, 2018-06)Let Zq be a finite field with q element and x n − 1 be a given cyclotomic polynomial. The number of cyclotomic cosets and cyclic codes has not been done in general. Although for different values of q the polynomial x n ... -
The optimum settings of culture conditions for optimum growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health using RSM with BBD
(2016)This thesis provides the process used to optimize the growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health to yield the optimal size of the kefir grain. This combined process was successfully modeled and optimized by response ... -
Parameterization and Forecasting of Childhood Pneumonia Model Using Least Square Approximation, Lagrange Polynomial and Monte Carlo Simulation
(2020-09)espite a study by [1] proposing a simple model of under five years pneumonia, doubt lingers regarding its reliability, sufficiency and validity. The research question is whether the model is valid for use or not? The ... -
Parameters and States Estimates of COVID-19 Model Using Lagrange Polynomial, Least Square Approximation and Kenya Quarantine Data
(2020-10-09)Aims/ Objectives: To develop a compartment based mathematical model, fit daily quarantine data from Ministry of Health of Kenya, estimate individuals in latency and infected in general community and predict dynamics of ... -
Performance Analysis of Debit Card Services on Deposit-Taking SACCOs’ Financial Performance: A Case of Kenya
(Kennesaw State University, 2019-04)The Co-operative Bank of Kenya has partnered with Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in Kenya to allow their members access to Co-operative Bank automated teller machines (ATMs) via Saccolink ... -
Performance Evaluation of Internet of Things Prototype for Preeclampsia Monitoring in Antenatal Care
(2020-12)Globally, Preeclampsia has been an alarming condition, thus creating a major concern in its prevention and monitoring. Software developers have implemented several Internet of Things systems to transform human society ... -
Predicting the Number of Tourists in-Flow to Kenya Using Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model
(UoEm, 2022-12)Tourism is the leading source of revenue to the Kenyan Government, contributing about 8.8% to the Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product. Based on the 2019 report released by the ministry of tourism and wildlife, tourism industry ... -
Rank and Subdegrees of P GL(2, q) Acting Cosets of P GL(2, e) for q an Even Power of e
(UoEm, 2019)The action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups has been studied. For instance, [9] studied the action of G on the cosets of P GL(2, e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this paper, we ... -
