Relay linear unbiased estimation of scale parameter of logistic distribution
(School of Mathematics, 2003) -
Modeling a Hierarchical System with a Single Absorbing State
(06-07-13)The paper describes a Markov Chain transition model in which students in an education system, be they graduates or dropouts, are grouped together into a single absorbing state. -
Linear Estimation Of Standard Deviation Of Logistic Distribution: Theory And Algorithm
(06-07-13)The paper presents a theoretical method based on order statistics and a FORTRAN program for computing the variance and relative efficiencies of the standard deviation of the logistic population with respect to the Cramer-Rao ... -
Use Of Polynomial Fit To Predict Seasonal Rainfall In Nairobi, Kenya
(06-07-13)In investigating Kenya rainfall variability and its relationship to other climatic elements it has become imperative to analyze the irregularly distributed rainfall events in time. To meet this requirement, this study used ... -
Using Markov Chains to Estimate the Cost Effect of Free Primary Education in Kenya
(2013)In the year 2003 the Kenyan government changed its education policy from cost sharing to free and compulsory primary education. As a result there was an influx of pupils into public primary schools. This policy therefore ... -
A COMPARISON OF THE CLASSICAL BLACK-SCHOLES MODEL AND THE GARCH OPTION PRICING MODEL FOR CURRENCY OPTIONS
(Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science; Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & TechnologySchool of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2008)This paper looks at the consequences of introducing heteroscedasticity in option pricing. The analysis shows that introducing heteroscedasticity results in a better fitting of the empirical distribution of foreign exchange ... -
Time-series modeling of returns from the NSE 20-share index: An empirical study of the impact of political climate on market volatility
(24-06-13)A time series analysis of the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) 20-Share index from January 1998 to March 2007 is provided. A comparison of the daily rates of return and volatilities for periods immediately preceding and following ... -
Electromagnetic Tensor Field Of First And Second Class
(23-06-13)The author and R.S. Mishra established the identities in Nijenhuis tensor for first, second and third class of electromagnetic tensor fields. The identities for first class were non zero. In this paper I have obtained the ... -
Application Of Sperner’s Lemma In Fair Division
(23-06-13)In this paper, we describe the approximate envy-free division using a mathematical technique from "game theory"; with help of Sperner’s lemma. The examples of land distribution in families and other heterogeneous resources ... -
Mathematical Models For Human And Baboon Brain Parameters
(2013)In this paper linear measurements from ten human and ten baboon brains were used to predict various values for human and baboon brain and body parameters, through multiple regression models. Inter-species values were also ... -
Curvature tensors and their relativistic significance (II)
(1970)In this paper we have defined the curvature tensors and their properties are studied. -
Curvature tensors' and their relativistic significance
(1970)In this paper we have defined the Curvature tensor and elaborated its various physical and geometric properties. -
Application of GARCH to Model the KESIUS$ Foreign Exchange Rates Returns
(15-03-13)The USA dollar (US$) is the most prominent currency around the world for transactions and also as foreign reserves for many Central Banks, for example in 2006, Central Bank of Kenya had 52% of its foreign reserves in US ...
