Theoretical Properties of an Adaptive Spatial Hierarchical Bayesian SEIR Model for HIV Transmission Dynamics
2025 Authors Mulati Omukoba Nyukuri John Sirengo Lucy Chikamai VIEW ON PUBLISHER SITE Abstract This study establishes theoretical foundations of an adaptive spatial hierarchical Bayesian SEIR model for HIV transmission dynamics. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions, derive equilibrium conditions, analyze stability properties, and establish convergence guarantees. The enhanced SEIR model incorporates spatial heterogeneity […]

Comparative Performance Analysis of Bayesian Hierarchical Models Versus Classical Statistical Approaches in Predicting Breast Cancer Treatment Outcomes: Evidence from Kenyan Healthcare Settings
2025 Authors Muhati Nelson Lwoyelo Richard Simwa Vincent Marani VIEW ON PUBLISHER SITE Abstract Current breast cancer treatment prediction models inadequately quantify uncertainty and fail to account for institutional clustering effects, particularly in resource-constrained healthcare settings. This study compared the performance of Bayesian hierarchical models against classical frequentist approaches for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) […]
Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling Framework for Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Prediction: Integrating Clinical, Pathological, And Treatment Variables
2025 Authors Muhati Nelson Lwoyelo Richard Simwa Vincent Marani VIEW ON PUBLISHER SITE Abstract Breast cancer represents the most prevalent malignancy among women globally, with approximately 2.3 million new cases annually. In Kenya, it disproportionately affects younger women (35-50 years) and represents the leading cancer diagnosis. Current prediction models inadequately quantify uncertainty in treatment responses, […]
