On outlier identification in geodetic networks using principal component analysis

Aduol, Francis O. (1986)
Detection of outliers in geodetic networks using principal component analysis and bias parameter estimation.

Aduol, Francis O. (1987)
A static dynamic model for densification of geodetic networks.

Aduol, Francis O. (1993)

in the tradition of several joint papers by the honoree and myself, including E. Grafarend and B. Schaffrin (1974, 1976, 1988) and E. Grafarend, B. Schaffrin, and E. Knickmeyer (1982), I took up the subject ...
A model for the establishment of an integrated regional geodetic datum

Aduol, Francis O. (1993)

A model for the establishment of an integrated geodetic datum covering a region is treated. The integrated geodetic datum is understood here to comprise the geoid, the reference ellipsoid, and the positional coordinates. ...
Robust geodetic parameter estimation through iterative weighting

Aduol, Francis O. (1994)

A procedure for robust linear estimation of parameters on the basis of iterative weighting of observations is presented. The approach considers the weights of observations as not just functions of the observational variances, ...
An evaluation of some robust estimation techniques in the estimation of geodetic parameters.

Aduol, Francis O. (1999)

In Part 1 of this study, we reported on an evaluation of the performances of four robust estimation techniques, namely: the modified residuals technique, the modified weights technique, the modified residuals-weights ...
Establishing teaching staff requirements for university academic programmes

Aduol, Francis O. (1999-07)
The surveying profession beyond the Year 2000 and the Kenyan surveyor.

Aduol, Francis O. (2000)

An overview of geospatial information education and its development in Kenya in general and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in particular is given. The gradual evolution and conception, ...
Financing public universities in Kenya: a model based on rationalised student unit costs and staffing

Aduol, Francis O. (2001)

Whitehead (1967:4) defines the term “Education is t he acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge.” The universities are those institutions that teach learners the art of the utilization of knowle ...
A model for estimating student unit cost and staffing requirements for university programmes with reference to Kenyan public universities.

Aduol, Francis O. (2001)

A model for the estimation of student unit costs and the staffing requirements for university academic programmes is presented. The development of the model starts off with the specification of a staff distribution matrix, ...
Robust Geodetic Parameter Estimation Under Least Squares Through Weighting on the Basis of the Mean Square Error

Aduol, Francis O. (2003)

A technique for the robust estimation of geodetic parameters under the least squares method when weights are specified through the use of the mean square error is presented. The mean square error is considered in the ...
A networks approach to understanding the role of the market and the State in housing: the cases of Nairobi, Kenya and Johannesburg South Africa

Omenya, A (2005)

This paper outlines the concept of 'housing networks' to reveal housing problems in the context of Johannesburg, South Africa, and Nairobi, Kenya. It first defines housing networks and outlines areas of knowledge where the ...
Agent-based modelling of urban sanitation: informal settlements in Nairobi

Obonyo, Esther; Omenya, Alfred (2006)

During the last two decades, Nairobi in Kenya has experienced a rapid increase in its urban population. With the number of houses failing to match the increase in urban population, a number of informal settlements (slums) ...
A Networks Approach to Understanding the Role of the Market and the State in Housing: The Cases of Nairobi, Kenya and Johannesburg, South Africa

Omenya, A (2008)

This paper presents an outline case for use of ‘housing networks concept’ to unpack housing problems in the context of Johannesburg, South Africa and Nairobi, Kenya. It begins by defining housing networks and outlining areas ...
Evolution of urban housing strategies and dweller-initiated transformations in Nairobi

Makachia, Peter A (Elsevier, 2011)

In her century of existence, Nairobi has served as a laboratory of various housing strategies targeting the indigenous Africans and the poor. Discriminated based on racial segregation during colonisation, the poor have ...
Network analysis as an alternative tool for understanding and intervening in informal housing: case studies from Nairobi, Kenya

Omenya, Alfred (2011)

This paper highlights possible areas of application of network analysis to analyse aspects of informal housing. It illustrates three network concepts: ego-centric networks (ties of individuals); networks towards ...
Effects of globalization in training architectural design

Omenya, Alfred (2011)

African architect unable to solve context-specific design challenges or explore context-specific design opportunities that Africa offers. This paper analyses some of the basis of western training that have had structural ...
Research on Suitable Low Income Housing Models for Urban Settlements

Anyamba, Tom JC; Omenya, Alfred (2012)
Innovative Housing Financing for Sustainable Growth Modeling Incremental Financing Strategies.

Makachia, Peter A (Kenya Bankers Association, 2015)

The Centre for Research on Financial Markets and Policy was established by the Kenya Bankers Association in 2012 to oﬀer an array of research, commentary, and dialogue regarding critical policy matters that impact on ...
The pastoralist’s parcel: towards better land tenure recognition and climate change response in Kenya’s dry lands

Wayumba, Gordon (2017-09-25)

Conventional notions of the ‘land parcel’ have been extended: previously unrecognized tenures including customary, nomadic, or communal interests are now incorporated into the concept. Technical tools including the Social ...
