Water Filter Provision and Home-Based Filter Reinforcement Reduce Diarrhea in Kenyan HIV-Infected Adults and Their Household Members
(The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)Among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -infected adults and children in Africa, diarrheal disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the effectiveness of provision and home-based reinforcement ... -
Adverse information on social media will always send Kenyans to withdraw their money
(2016-04)In the paper “The Extent to Which Social Media Can Influence a Bank Run” Atieno,T. and Mutinda, M. (2014) provided empirical evidence that there was a huge risk of a bank run occurring in Kenya due to social media. This ... -
A smooth test of goodness-of-fit for the baseline hazard function in recurrent event models
In this paper, we formulate a smooth test of goodness-of-fit for a simple hypothesis about the baseline hazard function in recurrent-event models. The formulation is an extension of Neyman' s goodness-of-fit approach, ... -
A copula-based approach to differential gene expression analysis
Melanoma is a major public health concern in the developed world. Melanoma research has been enhanced by the introduction of microarray technology, whose main aim is to identify genes that are associated with outcomes ... -
Model-Assisted Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Two-stage Cluster Sampling
Estimation of finite population parameters has been an area of concern to statisticians for decades. This paper presents an estimation of the population mean under a model-assisted approach.Dorfman (1992), Breidt and Opsomer ... -
Semi-Markov model for evaluating the HIV patient treatment cost
The aim of this study is to model the progression of HIV/AIDS disease and evaluate the cost of the anti-retroviral therapy for an HIV infected patient under ART follow-up using Non homogeneous semi-Markov processes. States ... -
Stochastic Model for Langerhans cells and HIV Dynamics in Vivo
Many aspects of the complex interaction between HIV and the human immune system remain elusive. Our objective is to study these inter-actions, focusing on the speci c roles of langerhans cells (LCs) in HIV infection. In ... -
On the pattern recognition of verhulst-logistic Itô processes in market price data.
We introduce a highly error resistant method of extracting Itô processes as applied to market data. This method is inspired by an AI method known as Hough transforms (HT). The HT method has been used in extracting geometric ... -
On unconditional banach space ideal property
Let denote the assignment which associates with each pair of Banach spaces the vector space and be the space of all compact linear operators from . Let and suppose converges in the dual weak operator topology Denote by the ... -
A Phase transition in the distribution of the length of integer partitions
We assign a uniform probability to the set consisting of partitions of a positive integer n such that the multiplicity of each summand is less than a given number d and we study the limiting distribution of the number of ... -
Surprising applications and possible extensions of Dellsarte's method
This is a short informal survey on some surprising applications of Delsarte's method, written for anyone being interested. I try to keep it as short and as informative as possible -
A Bayesian hierarchical model for correlation in microarray studies
Microarrays are miniaturised biological devices consisting of molecules (e.g. DNA or protein), called \probes", that are orderly arranged at a microscopic scale onto a solid support such as a nylon membrane or a glass ...
