On eqivalence of some operators in hilbert spaces
(School of mathematics, 2011-07)The second chapter of this project enhances the essential aspects to be discussed in the subsequent chapters, on quasisimilarity and almost similarity of operators. In this chapter, we show that unitary equivalence (and ... -
Use of generalized additives to study the association of incidence of malaria and climate variables in epidemic prone sites in Tanzania between 1998 and 2005
(15-03-13)A Generalized additive poisson model was used to study the association of climatic variables and incidence of malaria. GAMs allow non-linear relationships via smooth functions between the predictors and the dependent ... -
Actuarial valuation of temperature derivatives
(15-03-13)Weather affects our daily lives as well as choices. We define the term weather derivative. It is a new class of investment that is yet to gain ground in Africa since the underlying security (weather) is not a trade able ... -
Theoritical risk analysis in insurance using copulas
(15-03-13)This study develops credibility predictors of aggregate losses using NHIF data of the number of patients with same ailments in two different hospitals. For a model of aggregate losses, the interest is in predicting both ... -
XML based user driven web forms
(University of NairobiSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2011)The world wide web(WWW) has emerged as the platform of choice for the dissemination of knowledge and information on a global scale. It is also the means of collating data and information from disparate sources for storage, ... -
Kiswahili Dictation System (SwaSpeak)
(University of NairobiSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2006)Dictation is the process of converting language from spoken format to written format. This process is usually carried out manually, that is, a human being listens to speech and then either handwrites or types the equivalent ... -
