Spatial bayesian methods of flow forecasting in the Black Volta river
The use of Spatial Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (SBVAR) models for river flow forecasting is studied in this paper. SBVAR models based on both the First Order Spatial Contiguity (FOSC) and the Random-Walk Averaging (RWA) priors were estimated and…
Item Response Theory Model for Understanding Item Non-Response in Ghanaian Surveys
This paper explores four Item Response Theory (IRT) models to determine the most appropriate for understanding item non-response. The selected IRT model was used to identify among five categories of survey questions, the most difficult to answer by…

Academic writing is an act of intellectual translation that converts raw ideas into academic discourse to bridge the gap between writer and reader. However, writing is often viewed as a mechanical skill rather than an intellectual craft. This brief…
Modelling the effects of bile and nutrients on microbes and the evolution of temperature, electrical conductivity, surface tension and pH during biodegradation of used engine …
At five levels of Bile (No bile, 1.2 ml, 1.4 ml, 1.6 ml and 1.8 ml) and two nutrient levels (Nutrient medium and No Nutrients) the effect of Bile and Nutrients on microbes and the evolution of temperature, electrical conductivity, surface tension and…
