Modeling of jumps and mean reversion in the Kenyan interest rates.
(JOOUST, 2015)The Black-Scholes-Merton model of 1973 has been used and improved upon by various scholars and practitioners to model stock price, interest rates, options and other financial derivatives. Derived from this model are ... -
Modeling the Impact of Geographic Inequalities on the Utilization of Maternity Health Services
(JOOUST, 2021)According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the high number of maternal deaths in some areas of the world reflects subnational inequities in access to maternity health. In Siaya County, Kenya, an estimated 34% of ... -
Modelling of demand process of capital shares by the mean reverting geometric Brownian motion.
(JOOUST, 2014)In financial mathematics, statistical tools have been used for time series prediction of prices. Lognormal distribution and the Black-Scholes-Merton formula have also been used for modeling capital returns: ... -
Modelling The Effect of Climatic and Environmental Variables on The Distribution of Rift Valley Fever Vectors and Outbreaks in Baringo County, Kenya
(JOOUST, 2020)Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic mosquito-borne disease whose outbreaks are associated with periodic heavy rainfall episodes and flooding. Baringo County is found in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya, that has ... -
