Prediction of the likelihood of Households Food Security in the Lake Victoria Region of Kenya
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2011)This paper considers the modeling and prediction of households food security status using a sample of households in the Lake Victoria region of Kenya. A priori expected food security factors and their measurements are ... -
Modelling the volatility of exchange rates in the Kenyan market
(Academic Journals, 2010)This paper considers the application of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity process in the estimation of volatility in the Kenyan exchange rates. A quasi-maximum likelihood estimation procedure ... -
Nonparametric model assisted model calibrated estimation in two stage survey sampling
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2007) -
Non-response weighting adjustment approach in survey sampling
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2006)Non-response problem is an issue of great concern to all the researchers because it pervades almost all survey research. This ultimately creates potential for bias. The higher the non-response rate the greater the bias if ... -
Seasonal time series data imputation: comparison between feed forward neural networks and parametric approaches
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2005)Missing data in a time series may be an obstacle that may prevents further analysis of the available series either for control, explanations or forecasting. This paper addresses the problem of "‘filling in"' missing data ... -
Seasonal time series forecasting: A comparative study of ARIMA and ANN models
(African Journal of Science and Technology (AJST), 2004)This paper addresses the concerns of Faraway and Chatfield (1998) who questioned the forecasting ability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). In particular the paper compares the performance of Artificial Neural Networks ... -
Robust estimation of variance in the presence of nearest neighbour imputation
(African Network of Scientific and Technical Institutions (ANSTI), 2003)The problem of estimating the variance of an estimator of the population total when missing values have been filled using a Nearest Neighbour (NN) imputation method is considered. The estimator is developed assuming a more ... -

A Multiplicative Bias Correction for Nonparametric Approach and the Two Sample Problem in Sample Survey
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)Let two separate surveys collect related information on a single population U. Consider situation where we want to best combine data from the two surveys to yield a single set of estimates of a population quantity (population ... -
Influence of fringe benefits on employee performance in large commercial banks in Nairobi city county in Kenya
(Journal of Strategic Management, 2018)Fringe benefits have been recognized as a way that motivate employees to increase their work output above the expected, therefore increasing employee performance. Fringe benefits are types of non-wage compensation provided ... -
Influence of recognition schemes on employee performance in large commercial banks in Nairobi city county in Kenya.
(Journal of Human Resource & Leadership, 2018)Recognizing excellent performance openly builds motivation within the entire organization. It is acknowledged that employee recognition has contagious effects. When an employee witnesses others being rewarded for good ... -
Influence of formal structures on sustainable performance contracting of employees in chartered public universities in Kenya
(Journal of Human Resource and Leadership, 2018)Purpose: The study at investigating the influence of formal structures on sustainable performance contracting of employees in chartered public universities in Kenya Methods: The study adopted a descriptive research ... -
Nonparametric estimation of distribution function for stratified populations
(International Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018)Nonparametric estimation of population parameters for finite populations has been used with great success for data that fit the independent and identically distributed framework. However, most of these approaches do not ... -
How Does Technology Influence Students' Motivation Towards Learning Kiswahili Proverbs?
(IGI Global, 2018)The presumed importance of technology in enhancing students' motivation may call for a profound shift in pedagogy. In an attempt to inform evidence-based practice, this study examined the influence of videos mediated ...
