• #### Modeling temperature dynamics and pricing temperature derivatives: an investigative Kenyan example ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2018)
The following research project will propose a mean-reverting stochastic process for modelling the daily average temperature in the Kenyan context. The proposed modelling framework will then be used to price a weather ...
• #### Modeling the dynamics of bacteremic pneumonia : the role of control strategies, case detection and prophylaxis ﻿

Paper presented at Strathmore International Math Research Conference on July 23 - 27, 2012
• #### Modeling the effects of interference in fertility rate of Kenya ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Many studies have been done on fertility for many years. However, very little has been documented in the existing literature concerning modeling of fertility in the presence of interference, yet interference to fertility ...
• #### Modeling the profitability of power production from short-rotation woody crops in Sub-Saharan Africa ﻿

(2012)
Increasing electricity supply in Sub-Saharan Africa is a prerequisite to enable economic development and reduce poverty. Renewable sources such as wood-fueled power plants are being promoted for social, environmental and ...
• #### Modeling the relationship between motivational beliefs, cognitive learning strategies and academic performance of Mathematics teacher-trainees ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Self-regulated learning refers to the conscious planning, monitoring, and evaluation of one’s own learning through use of appropriate behavioral, meta-cognitive and cognitive strategies to enhance academic performance. ...
• #### Modelling dataspace entity association using set theorems ﻿

The development of dataspace support systems is far from reality as individuals and enterprises are faced with the huge challenge of data management. Critical to this is the need to provide a model that represents the ...
• #### Modelling healthcare financing in Kenya ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
• #### Modelling longevity risk using Lee-Carter model ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Longevity risk is one of the remaining frontiers challenging modern financial markets and financial engineering. It is a major policy issue for governments around the world driven by the increase in the proportion of the ...
• #### Modelling temperature derivatives using Levy processes ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2015-12)
Weather derivatives are a new risk manage tool which can be widely used in the financial market to avoid the impact of bad weather effects and control the weather risks (Wang et al, 2015). weather derivatives are different ...
• #### Modelling the dynamics of e-health systems assimilation by healthcare providers in Kenya ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2019-03-27)
Research has linked the increase in the implementation and assimilation of e-Health systems by healthcare providers to the provision of high-quality and cost-effective healthcare services. However, the technology assimilation ...
• #### Modelling the effects of temperature variation on Schistosomiasis transmission dynamics ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Schistosomiasis ranks second behind malaria in terms of its social, economic and public health impact in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In this study a non-linear mathematical model is formulated to study ...
• #### Modelling the impact of media coverage on cholera transmission ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Cholera is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Its spread is a product of both social and environmental factors. Past and recent cholera outbreaks in Kenya haveled to deaths and hospitalisation. ...
• #### Modelling the impact of oil prices on stock prices in Kenya ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2015-12)
The purpose of the study is to model the impact of oil prices on stock prices in Kenya using monthly data for between 2003 and 2015. The study uses the Johansen's multivariate cointegration test and the vector error ...
• #### Modelling the role of treatment and vaccination in the control of transmission dynamics of pneumonia among children in Uganda ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of serious illness and deaths among children around the world. Efforts to effectively treat and control the spread of pneumonia is possible if its dynamics is well understood. In this ...
