Study examines financial performance determinants of Kenyan microfinance banks.
Study examines factors influencing lending to SMEs by Kenyan banks.
Study finds risk management significantly improves pension scheme efficiency in Kenya.
Study examines financial structure's impact on non-financial firms' growth in Kenya.
New model maps malaria prevalence across Kenya's changing administrative boundaries.
Study improves pension scheme efficiency in Kenya through governance and risk management.
We present the first fully variational Bayesian inference scheme for continuous Gaussian-process-modulated Poisson processes. Such point processes are used in a variety of domains, including neuroscience, geo-statistics and astronomy, but their use is hindered by the computational cost of existing inference schemes. Ou…
We build a deep reinforcement learning (RL) agent that can predict the likelihood of an individual testing positive for malaria by asking questions about their household. The RL agent learns to determine which survey question to ask next and when to stop to make a prediction about their likelihood of malaria based on t…
Method uses aggregate crop statistics to improve satellite-based crop type mapping.
A statistical analysis of financial, economic, and demographic indicators performed by the authors demonstrates (1) that the main countries of East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania) have not escaped the Malthusian Trap yet; (2) that this countries are not likely to follow the "North African path" and to achieve this…
This study prioritizes temporal resolution over spatial in energy systems models due to higher influence.
Combines BART and Gaussian process for spatial covariate prediction with uncertainty.
Roads are critically important infrastructure to societal and economic development, with huge investments made by governments every year. However, methods for monitoring those investments tend to be time-consuming, laborious, and expensive, placing them out of reach for many developing regions. In this work, we develop…
Study clusters Kenyan medical insurance companies based on financial performance and reporting consistency.
New algorithms improve MPBART for HIV patient data.
What are East Africa's industrial opportunities? In this article we explore this question by using the Product Space to study the productive structure of five south-east African countries: Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia. The Product Space is a network connecting products that tend to be exported by the …
