APPLICATIONS OF BAYESIAN METHODS IN ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
(2016-05-20)Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a standard method for describing and estimating heterogeneity among the means of a response variable across the levels of multiple categorical factors. In most experimental settings, ANOVA ... -
BAYESIAN SEMI-PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF RECEIVER OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC (ROC) SURFACE
(University of Eldoret, 2015)Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis is widely used in biomedical research to assess the performance of diagnostic tests. Estimation of receiver operating characteristic curves based on parametric approach has ... -
Central Limit Theorem and Its Applications in Determining Shoe Sizes of University Students
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2019)The Central limit theorem is a very powerful tool in statistical inference and Mathematics in general, since it has numerous applications such as in topology and many other areas. For the case of probability theory, it ... -
Construction of a Five-Level V-Dimensional Modified Third Order Rotatable Designs using a Pair of Pairwise Balanced Designs
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2019)Rotatable designs are devised for use of response surfaces. Rotatability is evidently a greatly popular property for Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a group of statistical and mathematical ... -

DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION MODEL OF HIV-1 IN VIVO DYNAMICS IN THE PRESENCE OF ARV TREATMENT
(2016-05-18)ABSTRACT Many mathematical models have been developed to describe the immunological response to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). The models have been used to predict the evolutions of HIV-1 in vivo ... -
A DESIGN OF A LOW-REYNOLDS NUMBER AIRFOIL THAT LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF SEPARATION BUBBLES AT THE LEADING EDGE
(University of Eldoret, 2014)The aerodynamics of airfoils at low Reynolds numbers (Re) has become increasingly important from both fundamental and industrial points of view, due to recent developments in small wind turbines, small unmanned aerial ... -
Detecting Remote Access Network Attacks Using Supervised Machine Learning Method
(MECS Press, 2023)Remote access technologies encrypt data to enforce policies and ensure protection. Attackers leverage such techniques to launch carefully crafted evasion attacks introducing malware and other unwanted traffic to the ... -
E-OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER MODEL MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)Many products are formed by mixing together two or more ingredients. For example, in building construction, concrete is formed by mixing sand, water and cement. Many practical problems are associated with investigation of ... -
The effect of a difference in angle in two lateral inflow channels on the main channel's velocity
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 2021-04)In this study, we examined the flow from two lateral inflow channels in a man-made open rectangular channel of an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The influences of the angles as it varies directly proportional to each ... -
THE EFFECT OF TWO LATERAL INFLOW CHANNELS ON MAIN CHANNEL DISCHARGE
(University of Eldoret, 2021)In this study, we examined the flow from two lateral inflow channels in a man-made open rectangular channel of an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The influence of cross-sectional area, length of two lateral inflow channels, ... -
