    Abstract: This study investigates the effects of response errors on population parameters obtained by double sampling for stratification at the interview and data processing level. Simulation study is carried out to investigate the effects of the response errors on these estimates. Finite population is generated using R-statistical package and study variable... Show More

    Abstract: In this study a two stage queueing model is analyzed. At first stage there is a single server having exponential service time with parameter μ_1 and no waiting is allowed in front of this server. There are two parallel phase-type servers at second stage and these parallel servers have exponential service time with parameter μ_2. Arrivals to this sy... Show More

    Abstract: Bonito (Auxis rochei), needs to be managed well because even as a renewable natural resource, but can undergo depletion or extinction. One of the approach in the management of fish resources is by modeling. The analysis was performed aiming to get the best estimate for the surplus production model to determine the maximum sustainable yields (MSY), ... Show More

    Abstract: Electricity has proved to be a vital input to most developing economies. As the Kenyan government aims at transforming Kenya into a newly-industrialized and globally competitive, more energy is expected to be used in the commercial sector on the road to 2030. Therefore, modelling and forecasting of electricity costs in Kenya is of vital concern. In... Show More

    Abstract: In this article we give a variation of the converse of Fabry Gap theorem concerning the location of singularities of Taylor-Dirichlet series, on the boundary of convergence. whose circle of convergence is the unit circle and for which the unit circle is not the natural boundary.
