Research Overview & Focus

Emotional Intelligence & Performance: Research examining the impact of emotional intelligence on academic performance and its relationship with factors such as study habits and motivation. Obesity & Diet: A comparative study analyzing dietary patterns and energy intake levels in urban Ghanaian neighborhoods using self-reported data on food consumption. COVID-19 epidemiological studies: An investigation into COVID-19's spread across West Africa, focusing on the use of smooth transition autoregressive models to analyze temporal changes in cases. Vehicle Emissions & Fuel Efficiency: A statistical analysis of fuel efficiency metrics among vehicles, highlighting trends and contributing factors such as engine type and driving conditions. Agricultural Innovations & Practices: An application of discriminant analysis to identify which inputs or practices are most effective for agricultural productivity in Ghana. Transportation Planning & Optimization: Various optimization techniques explored, including clustering studies on paratransit routes and algorithms for route planning, aiming to improve traffic efficiency. Behavioral Health & Interventions: A study using hierarchical models to predict outcomes related to maternal and child health, focusing on factors influencing birth outcomes in Nigeria. Global Maternal & Child Health: An analysis of risk factors that contribute to maternal mortality in vulnerable populations using machine learning techniques. Malaria Research & Control: Modeling malarity prevalence patterns in West Africa using Bayesian models to assess disease transmission dynamics. Statistical Inference & Risk Analysis: A comparative study of estimators used for calculating coronary heart disease risk, evaluating their performance and accuracy. Traffic Safety & Footage: An exploration of pedestrian footbridge usage patterns as a proxy for traffic safety, focusing on factors influencing foot traffic. Noise Management & Regulations: A systematic review of noise management practices in urban areas, using statistical models to assess the effectiveness of existing regulations against noise-induced health risks. Urban Transport & Accessibility: Research into paratransit route optimization and clustering studies to enhance accessibility and efficiency among urban residents. Neonatal Skin Health & Health Outcomes: An investigation into the role of dietary factors in neonate health, focusing on conditions such as iron deficiency in pregnant women. Psychometric Testing & Interventions: A study using discriminant function applications to predict neonatal outcomes, particularly low birth weight neonates, employing a probabilistic framework to assess effectiveness. Forest Ecosystems Research: An analysis of vegetation patterns in the Abokutah region using PCA/SVD methods and robust models for spatial analysis. Hermeneutics & Narrative Identity: A qualitative study examining the influences on low birth weight neonatal outcomes through hermeneutic analysis of narratives, particularly those involving hermeneutics (interpretation) and narrative identity in Ghanaian society. Statistical Methods & Inference: An exploration of the sensitivity and bias of quadratic discriminant functions when used for classification purposes, evaluating their performance in various contexts. Face Recognition & Expression Analysis: A statistical investigation into facial expression patterns under varying conditions using robust methods to assess the accuracy of these models. Global Health & Education Research: A comparative study modeling maternal mortality incidence across different regions using machine learning techniques. Hermeneutics & Identity: Further qualitative studies examining low birth weight neonatal outcomes, focusing on how hermeneutic principles and narrative identity influence such health outcomes in Ghana. Statistical Analysis & Pattern Recognition: An investigation into the sensitivity of quadratic discriminant functions when applied to predict maternal mortality incidence using machine learning methods. Hemistics & Identity: A qualitative study analyzing low birth weight neonatal outcomes from a hermeneutic perspective, focusing on narrative identity and interpretive processes in African communities. Social Issues Research: A comparative analysis of gait speed and physical activity factors among urban populations in Nigeria, identifying how these factors influence health-related outcomes. Aging & Diet Studies: An investigation into the relationship between dietary patterns and age-specific energy needs, particularly regarding iron consumption rates in women as a key factor influencing maternal mortality risk.
