Asymptotic linear estimation of the quantile function of a location-scale Family of distributions based on selected order statistics
(JKUAT Press LtdDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2005)Abstract. Some general asymptotic methods of estimating the quantile function, Q(~), 0 < ~ < 1, of location-scale fainilies of distributions based on a few selected order statistics are considered, with applications to ... -

Classification of the Kenyan general insurance risks using copula approach
(JKUAT Press LtdStatistics and Actuarial Science Department Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologyActuarial Science & Financial Mathematics Department, School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2012)Dependence between risks reduces the benefits of diversification. Modem portfolio theory is based on correlation as a measure of dependence while the criterion presented here is based on the copula theory as a measure ... -
Deterministic claims reserving in short-term insurance contracts
(JKUAT Press LtdDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2006)Claims reserving for general insurance business has developed significantly over the recent past. This has been occasioned by the growth of the insurance market, with the risk underwriting process becoming more and more ... -
Linear Estimation of Scale Parameter for Logistic Distribution Based on Consecutive Order Statistics
(Indian Statistical InstituteDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2007)Linear estimation of the scale parameter of the logistic population based on the sum of consecutive order statistics, when the location parameter is unknown, is discussed. A method based on a pair of single spacing ... -

Common nearly best linear estimates of location and scale parameters: normal And logistic distributions
(Pushpa Publishing HouseDepartment of Mathematics University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, 2006)Common nearly best linear estimates of location and scale parameters of normal and logistic distributions, which are based on complete samples, are considered. Here the population from which the samples are drawn is ... -

The bradley-terry model for handling categorical response variables from farmer participatory trials
(Pushpa publishing houseDepartment of Mathematics University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2006)This paper looks at responses from participatory on-farm farmer participatory trials that are often measured as ratings (farmers score each given treatment on a scale that is ordered but arbitrary) or rankings (where ... -

Estimation of IBNR Claims Reserves Using Linear Models
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2008)Stochastic models for triangular data are derived and applied to claims reserving data. The standard actuarial technique, the chain ladder technique is given a sound statistical foundation and considered as a linear ...
