Effect of collaborative peer learning on learner attitude and performance in Mathematics in Kenya
(Strathmore University, 2017)
Learners learn best when they are actively engaged in the processing of learning information. One method of involving them in active learning is to have them learn from each other in small groups or teams. Research shows ...
Initial reflections on teaching and learning Mathematics using tablets in a Prison Education Centre
(Strathmore University, 2017)
The reflections reported in this paper involve an intervention using a tablet as a tool for enhancing teaching and learning of mathematics in a Prison Education Centre in Kenya. The tablet is connected wirelessly to a ...
Using copulas to select prognostic genes in melanoma patients
(Strathmore University, 2017)
Melanoma of the skin is the 5th and seventh most commonly diagnosed carcinoma in men and women, respectively, in the USA. So far, gene signatures prognostic for overall and distant metastasis-free survival, for example, ...
Validation of the smooth test of goodness-of-fit for proportional hazards in Cancer survival studies
(Strathmore University, 2017)
In this study, we validate the smooth test of goodness-of-fit for the proportionality of the hazard function in the two-sample problem in cancer survival studies. The smooth test considered here is an extension of Neyman’s ...
Bayesian estimation of Multivariate Stochastic Volatility by applying state space models
(Strathmore University, 2017)
This work seeks to apply a Bayesian analysis in estimating multivariate stochastic volatility (MSV) using state space models. A multiplicative model based on inverted Wishart and multivariate singular beta distributions ...
A Mathematical model for motorcycle rider population total based on susceptibles, reported and unreported accidents
(Strathmore University, 2017)
Reports indicate that the emergence of motorcycles in the transport sector has come with both pros and cons. The rising numbers of motorcycles and the related accidents have a close association. In some previous studies, ...
Analysis of categorical data in presence of latent random effects using Structural Equation Modeling: an application
(Strathmore University, 2017)
In most medical research, of interest is to establish the causal relationships that exist between variables which may be direct or indirect. This research intends to use structural equation modeling technique to analyze ...
A Comparison of the Bayesian regression and the Ordinary Least Squares regression
(Strathmore University, 2017)
The ordinary least squares regression model assumes that there are enough data to make inference about the parameters. For Bayesian regression however, the data are supplemented with additional information in the form of ...
Adaptation of a RAS pathway activation signature from FF to FFPE tissues in colorectal cancer
(Strathmore University, 2017)
Background: The KRAS gene is mutated in about 40 % of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases, which has been clinically validated as a predictive mutational marker of intrinsic resistance to anti-EGFR inhibitor (EGFRi) therapy. ...
Semi-parametric spatial joint modeling of HIV and HSV-2 among women in kenya with spatially varying coefficients
(Strathmore University, 2017)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a pandemic that continues to spread even with concerted efforts that have been put in place to help curb it. There are a number of factors that contribute to this spread, among them ...
