A Multiplicative Bias Correction for Nonparametric Approach and the Two Sample Problem in Sample Survey
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)Let two separate surveys collect related information on a single population U. Consider situation where we want to best combine data from the two surveys to yield a single set of estimates of a population quantity (population ... -
Influence of fringe benefits on employee performance in large commercial banks in Nairobi city county in Kenya
(Journal of Strategic Management, 2018)Fringe benefits have been recognized as a way that motivate employees to increase their work output above the expected, therefore increasing employee performance. Fringe benefits are types of non-wage compensation provided ... -
Influence of recognition schemes on employee performance in large commercial banks in Nairobi city county in Kenya.
(Journal of Human Resource & Leadership, 2018)Recognizing excellent performance openly builds motivation within the entire organization. It is acknowledged that employee recognition has contagious effects. When an employee witnesses others being rewarded for good ... -
Influence of formal structures on sustainable performance contracting of employees in chartered public universities in Kenya
(Journal of Human Resource and Leadership, 2018)Purpose: The study at investigating the influence of formal structures on sustainable performance contracting of employees in chartered public universities in Kenya Methods: The study adopted a descriptive research ... -
Nonparametric estimation of distribution function for stratified populations
(International Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018)Nonparametric estimation of population parameters for finite populations has been used with great success for data that fit the independent and identically distributed framework. However, most of these approaches do not ... -
A Simple Stochastic Stomach Cancer Model with Application
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-04)Survival analysis majors mainly on estimation of time taken before an event of interest takes place. Time taken before an event of interest takes place is a random process that takes shape overtime. Stochastic processes ... -
Photo-Thermal Induced Optical Scattering Modulation Sensor for Malaria Diagnosis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-09)Malaria is one of the leading killer diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the disease is curable, early and accurate diagnosis is key to effective therapy. Existing malaria diagnostic techniques have low detection ... -
Acetonitriledicarbonyl (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) iron (II) tetrafluoridoborate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)In the structure of the title compound, [Fe{5-C5(CH3)5}- (NCCH3)(CO)2]BF4, the arrangement of ligands around the Fe atom is in a pseudo-octahedral three-legged piano-stoolfashion in which the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ... -
(μ-Ethane-1, 2-diamine-κ2N: N′) bis [dicarbonyl (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron (II)] bis (tetrafluoridoborate)
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe2(C5H5)2- (C2H8N2)(CO)4](BF4)2, contains two half-cations, each located on a center of symmetry, and two tetrafluoridoborate anions. The iron atoms adopt a three-legged ... -

(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)In the structure of the title compound [Fe(2)(C(5)H(5))(2)(CHO(2))(CO)(4)]BF(4), each Fe(II) atom is coordinated in a pseudo-octa-hedral three-legged piano-stool fashion. The cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand occupies three fac ... -
Variance Estimation for Poverty Indicators via Linearization Technique
(2018-08-24)In this study, an assessment of precision of poverty indicators is made with a view to improving its performance. A multiplicative bias reduction density function is used in estimating the poverty indicators and compared ... -
A SEMI-PARAMETRIC MULTIPLICATIVE BIAS REDUCTION DENSITY WITH A PARAMETRIC START
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2018)In this study, a multiplicative semiparametric fourth order bias reduction density is proposed. The proposed density accommodates all parametric distributions and produces optimum results even in situations where the ... -
Inference on poverty indicators for Ghana
(2018-09-14)Poverty indicators are the fundamental statistics used to optimally determine the standards of living of people in any country. These are used for policy planing and analysis. Poverty indicators were estimated using ... -
Parameter Estimation of Power Lomax Distribution Based on Type-II Progressively Hybrid Censoring Scheme
(HIKARI Ltd, 2018)In this study, we consider the parameter estimation of a three-parameter continuous distribution, namely, power Lomax distribution proposed by [7], when the lifetime experiments are under Type-II Progressively Hybrid ... -

ROBUST ESTIMATION OF VARIANCE IN THE PRESENCE OF NEAREST NEIGHBOUR IMPUTATION
(African Journal of Science and Technology, 2003)The problem of estimating the variance of an estimator of the population total when missing values have been filled using a Nearest Neighbour (NN) imputation method is considered. The estimator is developed assuming a more ... -
Variance Estimation in Stratified Random Sampling in the Presence of Two Auxiliary Random Variables
