A Markov-switching linked autoregressive model is proposed to forecast non-continuous wind direction data. It has proven to have a higher prediction accuracy than existing models by using real data and realising the distribution of wind direction is disjunct and multi-modal.
A collaboration between @UniKentSEaK@BumblebeeTrust@RichardComont & @CEHScienceNews, this paper presents the first dynamic mixture model for monitoring bumblebee populations, motivated by the UK citizen science scheme BeeWalk (https://t.co/8Cb8YIQj50).
An innovative method of estimation based on data whitening and Lasso criterion to assess change points in plant phenology and its variability between plants within a canopy. The method was first tested on simulated data and then applied to real data of oilseed rape development.
Here, we develop a new model for 210Pb dating, where ages, supported and unsupported 210Pb are part of the parameters obtaining more robust, realistic and statistically better defined age estimates. https://t.co/WwDKmzf6HI
The OCO-2 satellite measure radiances that are transformed into estimation of atmospheric CO2 concentration using Bayes Theorem. This paper uses diagnostic tools and proper scoring rules to compare optimal estimation (OE) to a full exploration of the posterior via MCMC.
Bayesian hierarchical linear unmixing (BHLU) models provide reliable estimates of botanical composition (forage mixtures) using plant-wax markers, and may be a reasonable alternative to nonnegative least squares (NNLS)
Nearly 100 years ago Fisher was interested in bias in systematic Latin square designs. Here we extend this idea to spatial designs. Read more at: https://t.co/KzooeZQcH9
We propose a bivariate extension to Royle's N-mixture model and illustrate our approach using an example with bald eagles and mallards. Read more at: https://t.co/e58u75MEVf
Computational burden can be significantly reduced for reduced-rank multivariate emulators of hydrological models while maintaining high accuracy. Read the article at https://t.co/UFB7nrREXw
We propose a score test for over-dispersion in a marginalized
zero-inflated negative binomial regression against its Poisson
counterpart. https://t.co/vlVSDS50cf
Fisher's optimal scores extended to visualise optimally main and interaction effects in two-way tables with a categorical response. See DOI: 10.1007/s13253-017-0311-8.
