Application of Linear Mixed E ects Model on Hierarchical Data (KCPE Examination Scores)
(2015)
Over the last four decades, the mixed e ects model has gained prominence in so-
cial research in education, health and elds whose data naturally have hierarchical
structures. The ability of the mixed e ects model to ...
Factors influencing management of liquid waste in kenyan urban centres: the case of Machakos Town, Kenya
(2015)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the factors that influence liquid waste
management in urban areas in Kenya, the case of Machakos Town. It was guided by

Evaluation of spatial variability of selected soil chemical properties, their influence on coffee yields and management practices at Kabete field station farm
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
ABSTRACT
Coffee production in Kenyan farms (smallholder and plantations) has been on the decline
over the last two and half decades in output and quality and this may have been due to
declining soil productivity arising ...
