Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Rate Distortion Function of Gaussian Asymptotically WSS Vector Processes

Entropy, 2018
In this paper, we obtain an integral formula for the rate distortion function (RDF) of any Gaussian asymptotically wide sense stationary (AWSS) vector process.

Monitoring Quality of Mafia‐Connected Accountants

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the monitoring quality of accountants with ties to the Mafia in their role as auditors for “clean” firms—those with no known ties to organized crime. Using a proprietary government database, we identify Italian firms with alleged ties to the Mafia through their executives, directors, or shareholders.

MODEL SELECTION CRITERIA AND QUADRATIC DISCRIMINATION IN ARMA AND SETAR TIME SERIES MODELS [PDF]

We show that analyzing model selection in ARMA time series models as a quadratic discrimination problem provides a unifying approach for deriving model selection criteria.

An ecclesiastical court: Christian nationalism and perceptions of the US Supreme Court

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, scholars have increasingly examined the unique blending of Christian and political ideology known as Christian nationalism. During this period, the US Supreme Court has increasingly ruled in ways that favor Christian nationalism, and Court watchers have criticized several justices for showing bias toward Christianity at best and ...

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes,outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...

Controlled Complete ARMA Independent Process Analysis [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we address the controlled complete AutoRegressive Moving Average Independent Process Analysis (ARMAX-IPA; X-exogenous input or control) problem, which is a generalization of the Blind SubSpace Deconvolution (BSSD) task.

Minimum Mismatch Modeling (3M) Hyperparameter Selection in Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) Modeling

IEEE Access
Hyperparameters of Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) modeling are the number of AR coefficients and the number of MA coefficients. The hyperparameter selection (HS) in ARMA modeling plays a critical role and can dominate the coefficient (parameter ...

A Comparative Review of Specification Tests for Diffusion Models

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Diffusion models play an essential role in modelling continuous‐time stochastic processes in the financial field. Therefore, several proposals have been developed in the last decades to test the specification of stochastic differential equations.
