Summary of Profile

I have conducted series of researches in the area of Econometrics, Statistical Quality Control, Total Quality Management and Data Mining/Machine Learning, some of which have resulted in a number of joint authored journal articles, local and international conferences. Several have been published in reputable international journals. I have also rendered assistance to a number of researchers in the areas of planning, analysis and interpretation of results.
