Stochastic Modelling Of Human Under-Five Age Mortality With Spatially Structured County Frailty Effects In Kenya (Published)

Survival analysis examines and models the time it takes for events to occur. The prototypical such event is death, from which the name ‘survival analysis’ and much of its terminology derives. This  research  study  develops  a predictive model  and  considers the factors associated with under-five child mortality rates in Kenya in order to provide the solutions and interventions to organizations concerned with demographic data. As the human lifespan increases, more and more people are becoming interested in mortality.   The  aim  of   this  study  is  to   estimate     the  robust  and  reliable    estimates  of level   and   trend     in  under-five  mortality   in  Kenya .  Survival analysis techniques and frailty modeling will be used  as the statistical tools for analyzing the time-event data. Both the survival parametric and non –parametric models and the frailty models will be fit  to help us draw the required conclusions based on under-five child mortality rates.  The results of this study will be used to assist in formulating appropriate health programs and policies that will reduce under-five human mortality.
