Norms of elementary operators.
(Maseno university, 2010)The norm of an elementary operator has been investigated over long period by several mathematician under various special circumstances. Timoney working on algebra of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces, established ... -
On completely bounded Operators
(2010)Calculating norms of matrices when the entries are not constants is the first problem tackled in this thesis. We have considered the space of matrices with entries from the algebra of bounded linear operators and ... -
Mathematical model for non-linear stock price adjustment
(Maseno university, 2010)The field of financial mathematics has drawn a lot of interest from both practitioners and academicians since the derivation of Black- Scholes model of 1970s. :Ihe celebrated option pricing formula, the so-called Black- ... -
Simplifying the markov chain analysis of rainfall Data using genstat
(Maseno university, 2011)Despite the rapid development of statistical packages, a lot of climatic data still remain unanalyzed due to lack of specialized routines in most of the packages, One package has a climatic menu though with limitation ... -
Deterministic modelling of tuberculosis and Hiv/aids
(Maseno university, 2010)The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic presents ~ massive challenge to the control of recurrent diseases like tuberculosis (TB) at all levels. Tuberculosis is also one of the most common causes of morbidity and ... -
Efficiencies of reinforced bib and augmented· Block designs in sugarcane test families’ vs Controls experiments
(Maseno university, 2010)The designs used for experimentation generally require making all the possible paired comparisons among the treatments but in plant breeding selection programmes the comparison of interest is usually a subset of all the ... -
On the numerical ranges and Spectra of normal operators
(Maseno university, 2010)The study of numerical ranges and spectra has been of great interest to many mathematicians in the past decades. In this study, we have continued to look at the numerical ranges and spectra of operators .on a Hilbert space. ... -
Non-parametric regression estimation of a finite Population total in the presence of Heteroscedasticity
(Maseno university, 2010)Non parametric regression provides computationally intensive estimation.of unknown finite population quantities. Such estimation is usually more flexible and robust than inferences tied to design - probabilities (in ... -
On norms of a derivation
(Maseno university, 2010)The study of derivations still remains an area of interest to mathematicians today. Of special attention has been the study of norms of inner derivations. Most of the work in this area is based on Stampfli's result of ... -
Match Analysis of HIV/AIDS Model With Reference to Kenya
(Maseno University, 2011)Epidemiology models are used to combine complex data from various sources in order to study equally complex outcomes. The first simple HIV/AIDS epidemic model was by Anderson in 1986. Since then a lot has been done in ... -
The Use of Cast Tests and Exercises to Improve The Learning of Statistics at Tertiary Level of Education
(Maseno university, 2012)Statistics as a course has become a computerised teaching subject due to the changing needs of the students who often use computers to process, and analyse various data sets. Recent technological developments have led ... -
On the Essential Numerical Range
(Maseno University, 2013)The convexity. closure and compactness of the numerical range among other properties constitute a considerable literature in operator theory. The properties of the essential numerical range and how they are related to ... -
Analysis of seasonal time series with Missing observations: A case of harvesting of fish in Lake Victoria Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2013)ABSTRACT Time series is a measured observation recorded with time. This statistical procedure is applicable in many fields of study including engineering and economics. The process of collecting data sometimes faces a ... -
Multilevel Analysis Applied to Binary Data: Malaria Prevalence in Sauri Millenium Village, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2014)Millennium Villages Project is an initiative that is meant to demonstrate that the millennium development goals could be achieved in an integrated approach in putting a combination of interventions in place. Among these ... -
Mathematical Model Incorporating Screening of Immigrants as A Control Against The Spread of Ebola
(Maseno University, 2017)Ebola Disease Outbreak (EVD) is an acute and often fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees). The disease is caused by infection with a virus of the family of Filoviridae, genus ... -
Analysis of young people’s career by use of Markov chains: case study of Kisumu city
(Maseno University, 2017)It is the desire of every person to have a career. Not much thought has been taken by young people on how they can arrive at their future careers. The reason is mainly because they are not aware. As much as many people ... -
Application of Markov chain Model in transition of girls in Public secondary schools; a case Study of Kisumu west sub-county, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)Transition is a very important factor in determining success of a student in secondary school. It forms a basis for implementing poverty reduction strategy by the government through acquisition of basic literal skills ... -
Knowledge, attitudes, practices and prevention of malaria: a statistical perspective of Kabras north division, Kakamega county, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)An elaborate understanding of the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) of particular community can inform the design of Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) campaigns to influence acceptance and use of Malaria control ... -
Hierarchical logistic regression model for Multilevel analysis: an application on use of Contraceptives among women in Reproductive age in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)Contraception allows women and couples to have the number of children they want, when they want them. This is everybody's right according to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Use of Contraceptive also reduces ... -
Numerical Solutions of Burgers Equation Using Hybrid Methods
(Maseno University, 2016)Research on Burgers equation: u_t + 〖uu〗_x = 〖αu〗_xx which is a second order nonlinear partial differential equation is gaining interest for its application and mathematics itself. It arises in model studies of turbulence ...
