e generalized log-logistic distribution is especially useful for modelling survival data with variable hazard rate shapes because it extends the log-logistic distribution by adding an extra parameter to the classical ...

Joint models for longitudinal and time to event data are frequently used in many observational studies such as clinical trials with the aim of investigating how biomarkers which are recorded repeatedly in time are associated ...

Generalised Linear Models such as Poisson and Negative Binomial models have been routinely used to model count data. But, these models assumptions are violated when the data exhibits over-dispersion and zero-inflation. ...

In the last decade, large database of images have grown rapidly. This trend is expected to continue in to the future. Retrieval and querying of these image in efficient way is a challenge in order to access the visual content ...

This study sought to investigate the extent to which strategic planning is practiced in secondary schools in Machakos district, Machakos County-Kenya. The research tried to answer the question “to what extent is strategic ...

In the last decade, world financial markets, including the Kenyan market have been characterized by significant instabilities. This has resulted to criticism on available risk management systems and motivated research on ...

Recently, the development of generalized class of distributions has become an issue of interest, to both applied and theoretical statisticians, due to their wider application in different fields of studies. Thus, ...

A novel version of the exponential Weibull distribution known as the extended exponential Weibull (ExEW) distribution is developed and examined using the Lehmann alternative II (LAII) generating technique. 'e new distributions ...

In this paper, we propose a flexible family called the exponentiated alpha-power-G (EAP-G) family. The benefits of the proposed family include its analytical simplicity and its ability to confer flexibility to the baseline ...

Recurrent droughts due to climate change has led to vulnerability of the pastoralist communities, leading to loss of assets and food insecurity. Climate change will have different impacts on women and men’s livelihoods. Building ...
