Review of Methods of Estimating Parameters In Nonlinear Mixed-Effects (Nlme) Models

Mbunzi, Stephen M. (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 ...
Spatial Analysis and Mapping of Infant Mortality in Kenya On The Basis Of Demographic and Health Survey Data

Mutwiri, Robert M. (University of Nairobi, 2010)

This study set out to examine and map the spatial variation of infant mortality in Kenya. We used data from Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) database to explore spatial variation. Generalized linear mixed inodel(GLMM) ...
Socio-economic determinants of low birth weight in Kenya: Logistic regression analysis

Atitwa, Edwin (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 ...
Connecting People using Latent Semantic Analysis for Knowledge Sharing

Mugo, David M. (2010-01)

A shift from technology-oriented knowledge management to people-oriented knowledge management is indispensable. To achieve this, organizations must understand the nature of knowledge. In this work, knowledge has been ...
An Investigation of the Latent Semantic Analysis Technique for Document Retrieval

Mugo, David M. (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 ...
Crame´R-Rao Bound of Direction Finding using Uniform Circular Array And 2-Circle Concentric Uniform Array

MUSYOKA, DAVID (university of Embu, 2019-09)

Source direction-of-arrival estimation problem has received much attention in recent years following its significant role in array-signal processing and wide range of applications such as radar, wireless communication, ...
Cramér-Rao Bound of Direction-Finding using uniform Hexagonal Array

Ndiritu, Grace W. (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 ...
Modelling Conditions for Quality Egg Storage Using Randomized Complete Block Design

Gogo, Jacqueline Akelo (University of Embu, 2021-09)

Rearing chicken has contributed positively to global nutrition, especially egg production. This practice attracts both large and small-scale poultry keeping within the world’s economy. Egg storage has been a problem due ...
Probabilistic Analysis of Covid-19 Transmission In Kenya using Markov Chain
