Comparatively, Zambian smallholder cassava productivity is low. Zambian farmers produce 6 ton ha-1 , compared to 20–25 ton ha-1 in Zambia. Therefore, understanding smallholder farmers' poor yields is necessary to develop cassava cropping systems for yield intensification. In this study, field...

Rabies is one of the most feared Zoonoses, nearly always resulting in fatal acute encephalitis. In humans, the incubation period of rabies is highly variable, ranging from days to years, with an average of 2–3 months. At the moment, rabies is underreported in humans at a rate of 1:60, and this...

In this dissertation, we present an integer-valued generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (INGARCH)(p, q) model based on the Poisson distribution. This model proves to be effective for modelling overdispersed integer-valued time series with conditional heteroscedasticity. The...
