A Model-based approach to genetic association testing in Malaria studies
(Strathmore University, 2019)In human genetics, heterozygote advantage (heterosis) has been detected in studies that focused on specific genes, but not in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). For example, heterosis is believed to confer resistance ... -
Modeling a methodology for evaluation of wide area network technologies in Kenya.
(Strathmore University, 2009)Data communication Networks are increasingly becoming a permanent feature in modern business organizations. Local Area Networks (LANs) Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) have gained so much use ... -
Modeling and stability analysis of the African swine fever epidemic model
(Strathmore University, 2019)In this paper, a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and control of African swine fever with recruitment of susceptible, exposed and infective domestic pigs into the population is studied using a system of ... -
Modeling heat-related mortality based on greenhouse emissions in OECD countries
(Strathmore University, 2017)Greenhouse emissions by human activities are known to irreversibly increase global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. This study sought to propose a mortality model with sensitivity to heat-change effects as one ... -
Modeling mortality with a bayesian vector autoregression
Mortality risk models have been developed to capture trends and common factors driving mortality improvement. Multiple factor models take many forms and are often developed and fitted to older ages. In order to capture ... -

Modeling nominal exchange rates in Uganda. A comparison between traditional unit root tests and fractional integration
(Strathmore University, 2020)This paper analyzes six major nominal exchange rates in Uganda, determining whether shocks in each series are transitory or permanent in the long run. We obtain results from traditional unit root tests and compare these ... -
Modeling of a secure distribution framework for topical digital materials to enhance m-learning in secondary schools
(iLabAfrica, 2014)Teachers and lecturers in our local institutions have been writing educational materials which find wide acceptance by their students, some of these write-ups are topical learning materials. Topical learning materials are ... -
Modeling of a secure distribution framework for topical digital materials to enhance m-learning in secondary schools
(Strathmore University, 2013)and lecturers in our local institutions have been writing educational materials which find wide acceptance by their students, some of these write-ups are topical learning materials. Topical learning materials are write-ups ... -
Modeling of SME credit ratings using non-homogenous backward semi- Markovian approach
(Strathmore University, 2017)This study seeks to understand the transition dynamics of credit ratings for Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya using a non-homogenous backward Semi-Markov approach. In modeling credit risk, this approach takes into ... -
Modeling of the effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on carriage and transmission of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Kenyan children
Paper presented at Strathmore International Math Research Conference on July 23 - 27, 2012 -
Modeling optimal control of Cholera disease under the interventions of vaccination, treatment and education awareness
(Strathmore University, 2017)In this work, our main purpose is to formulate and analyse a mathematical model of the dynamics and optimal control strategies of cholera epidemic. We present and analyze a cholera model with controls, u1 for vaccination ... -
Modeling Own Source Revenue (OSR) of county governments in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2018)Revenue forecasting is an essential part of budget making process in the public sector. This study considered the Time Series Modeling of Own Source Revenue of counties in Kenya. Data used was collected from the revenue ... -
Modeling SME credit ratings using non-homogenous backward semi-Markovian approach
(Strathmore University, 2017)Considering the growth in SME lending in Kenya and the obvious risks it posses to the banking sector, we establish a credit risk model that is responsive to the jumps in the economy. This is based on simulation of implied ... -
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 ...
