Construction of a composite indicator on multidimensional poverty in Kenya using multiple correspondence analyses (MCA) : An application on the KDHS 2008 Data
(School of Mathematics, 2011)This study is on the construction of a composite indicator, which can be used to measure poverty more effectively and precisely on the basis of Demographic and Health survey data. This paper looks at the history of measuring ... -
Construction of Experimental Designs: A Finite Geometric Approach
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2006)Finite geometries are used in the construction of BIB and PBIB designs with two and more than two-associate classes. Further, finite projective geometries can also be used to construct fractional factorial designs for ... -
Construction of household asset-based wealth index for Eastern region, Kenya
(2014-07)There are growing concerns regarding inequities in health, with poverty being an important determinant of health as well as a product of health status. Within Eastern region Kenya, disparities in socio-economic position ... -
Construction Of Some Balanced Asymmetrical Factorial Designs (BAFDs)
(University of Nairobi,, 2014)Two methods of obtaining high efficiency balanced asymmetrical factorial designs which are resolvable are discussed. The effect of confounded interactions of symmetrical factorial in context of correspondence between ... -
Construction of sub class of balanced asymmetrical factorial designs
(University of Nairobi, 2021)The main focus of this research is to construct balanced asymmetrical factorial designs in which main effects and higher order interactions are estimated with high efficiencies if not full efficiencies. The specific ... -
