Stochastic optimisation models for air traffic flow management
(Makerere University, 2010-10)
Air traffic delay is not only a source of inconvenience to the aviation passenger, but also a major deterrent to the optimisation of airport utility. Many developing countries do less to abate this otherwise seemingly ...
Effect of online social networking sites usage on academic performance of university students in Uganda
(Foundation of Computer Science, 2017-01)
Online social networking site (OSNS) like any technological innovation provides an opportunity for quick and easy access to information. As to whether the information obtained provides additional academic knowledge to ...
Effect of information and communication technology-induced multitasking on academic performance of university students in Uganda
(2017)
Numerous researches on information and communication technology (ICT)-induced multitasking among students document a number of unfavourable consequences, such as heightened distraction and less attention, hampered learning ...
Airline delay time series differentials: Autoregressive integrated moving average model
(IGI Global, 2014)
Flight delays affect passenger travel satisfaction and increase airline costs. The authors explore airline differences with a focus on their delays based on autoregressive integrated moving averages. Aviation daily data ...
Health and human rights: A statistical measurement framework using household survey data in Uganda
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Health is intertwined with human rights as is clearly reflected in the right to life. Promotion of health
practices in the context of human rights can be accomplished if there is a better understanding of the ...
On multivariate imputation and forecasting of decadal wind speed missing data
(SpringerOpen, 2015)
This paper demonstrates the application of multiple imputations by chained equations and time series forecasting
of wind speed data. The study was motivated by the high prevalence of missing wind speed historic data. ...
Tobacco use and associated factors among adults in Uganda: Findings from a nationwide survey
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Tobacco use and the exposure to tobacco smoke is one of the most preventable causes of death and disability globally. The risk is even higher among daily tobacco users. The World Health Organization (WHO) has ...
Alcohol use among adults in Uganda: Findings from the countrywide non-communicable diseases risk factor cross-sectional survey
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Background: There are limited data on levels of alcohol use in most sub-Saharan African countries.
Objective: We analyzed data from Uganda’s non-communicable diseases risk factor survey conducted in 2014, to identify ...
Framework for determining airport daily departure and arrival delay thresholds: Statistical modelling approach
(SpringerOpen, 2016)
The study derives a framework for assessing airport efficiency through evaluating optimal arrival and departure delay thresholds. Assumptions of airport efficiency measurements, though based upon minimum numeric values ...
Burden of cumulative risk factors associated with non-communicable diseases among adults in Uganda: Evidence from a national baseline survey
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Modification of known risk factors has been the most tested strategy for dealing with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The cumulative number of NCD risk factors exhibited by an individual depicts a disease ...
