Synopsis

Malnutrition among children under age five is the major public health problem in the developing world particularly in Ethiopia. The aim of this book was then to determine statistically the determinants of children malnutrition. Bayesian Semi-parametric regression model was used to flexibly model the effects of selected socioeconomic, demographic, health and environmental covariates. Inference was made using Bayesian approach with Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques.
