Analysis of Categorical Panel Data

Abstract

AbstractsIn some categorical tables, one of the classifying variables may be at least ordinal (ran ked) arising fro m a follow-up o r any similar study. The other classifying variab le(s) may be that which separates the population into groups using variables such as gender, race or location, or a co mbination of some of them. The counts obtained this way are analyzed recognizing that one of the variables is nearly metric and must be used and interpretation becomes easier when appropriate model is fitted to the arising product multino mial. An examp le o f such an approach is provided using the data fro m Tuberculosis Management in a Teaching Hospital. We observed that the recovery rate of females was faster than their males counterpart on the assumption that those discharged through management system follows an exponential distribution.

Computer Assisted Learning on Language Writing Skills Among Learners With Hearing Impairments in Kiambu County, Kenya

“…The findings of this study are in line with studies from various research included in the literature review. The findings of this study complement a study by Adejumo, Abioye & Tar (2016) on the adoption of computer assisted language learning software which asserts that computer assisted learning, similar to other instructive software has the possibility to aid, hasten, stimulate, and develop language skills.…”

“…A study by Adejumo, Abioye, and Tar (2016) among hearing secondary students in Nigeria showed that for one to successfully acquire a second or foreign language, the choice of a learning strategy that is effective is important. Hence, computer assisted learning resources can be adopted to facilitate the learning process of developing writing skills.…”

Nursing Students’ Perception and Compliance with Clinical Nursing Placement at a Selected University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria

“…Similarly, the World Health Organization; WHO (2019) stated that barriers to the application of nursing instruction among nursing students include; (91.4%) lack of sufficient information about the concept of nursing instruction, (74.6%) lack of belief in caring for patients according to the nursing instruction, (71.4%) lack adequate knowledge about the nursing instructions, and (69.8%) lack interest in applying the nursing instructions which shows the gap between theory and practice. A recent Nigerian study reported that insufficient academic mentorship and suboptimal clinical exposure have emerged as prominent concerns (Adejumo et al, 2023). To the best of our knowledge, existing evidence in this domain predominantly originates from developed countries; however, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding studies investigating nursing students' perceptions and adherence to clinical practice, specifically within Nigeria.…”

Response of Weaned Pigs to Different Dietary Protein Sources and Diet Types

“…In order to reduce cost of production of animal products, cheap and non-conventional feed ingredients have been assessed and the search is on-going (Babayemi and Bankole 2009;Adejumo and Bamidele, 2012;Adebiyi et al, 2018). Soybean is widely used as a protein source for monogastric animals, particularly, poultry and swine.…”
