APPROXIMATION OF THE COX SURVIVAL REGRESSION MODEL BY MCMC BAYESIAN HIERARCHICAL POISSON MODELLING OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD MORTALITY IN NIGERIA

Approximation of the Cox survival regression model by MCMC Bayesian Hierarchical Poisson modelling of factors associated with childhood mortality in Nigeria

Abstract The need for more pragmatic approaches to achieve sustainable development goal on childhood mortality reduction necessitated this study.Simultaneous study of the influence of where the children live and the censoring nature of children survival data is scarce.We identified the compositional and contextual factors associated with under-five

Study on Adaptive Excitation System of Transmission Line Galloping Based on Electromagnetic Repulsive Mechanism

Due to the uncontrollable weather conditions, it is difficult to carry out the controllable prototype test to study fatigue damage of transmission tower and armour clamp and the effect evaluation of antigalloping device under actual transmission line galloping.Considering the geometric nonlinearity of the transmission line system, this study propos

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Busseola segeta Bowden (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae): A Case Study of Host Use Diversification in Guineo-Congolian Rainforest Relic Area, Kenya

Habitat modification and fragmentation are considered as some of the factors that drive organism distribution and host use diversification.Indigenous African stem borer pests are thought to have diversified their host ranges to include maize [Zea mays L.] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in response to their increased availability through
