Comparative Study of the Distributions Used To Model Dispersion
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
The negative binomial distribution has been widely used and to a lesser extent the Ney-
man Type A distribution, whereas the Polya-Aeppli distribution has received no attention in modeling
overdispersed (clustered) ...
Effect of Sn Doping on the Electrical Properties of as Prepared and annealed ZnO thin films Prepared by Reactive Evaporation
(28-04-14)
Layers of transparent and conductive Sn-doped Zinc oxide (lnO) have been prepared by reacti. e
evaporation on glass substrates. The deposition has been done at various doping levels ranging from J %
to 8%. Annealing of ...
Planning And Evaluating Delivery Systems For The Control Of Tick-Borne Diseases

On Modelling and Pricing Index Linked Catastrophe Derivatives
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
We consider the problem of indifference pricing of derivatives written on CAT bonds. The
industrial loss index is modeled by a compound Poisson process and the number of claims as doubly
stochastic process, such that its ...
A Stochastic Model for Planning a Compartmental Education System and Supply of Manpowe
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
This paper describes a Markov Chain transition model that encompasses the different com-
partments of an education system. The model clearly shows transition rates within compartments and
also between compartments, thus ...

Fault-controlled fluid migration during early-stage continental rifting in the Magadi Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The mechanisms controlling the migration of mantle-derived, CO2-rich fluids in early-stage continental rifts are poorly constrained, yet have important implications for processes occurring during the initiation of continental ...
