An optimal scale for the comparison of air pollution in east and west Tehran [PDF]
Introduction: Air pollution in the metropolis of Tehran is a serious environmental issue. Assigning an optimal budget to deal with air pollution problems in the East (no.4) and West (no.22) regions of Tehran, determining the optimal proportion of green ...

Statistical inference for nonignorable missing-data problems: a selective review
Nonignorable missing data are frequently encountered in various settings, such as economics, sociology and biomedicine. We review statistical inference for nonignorable missing-data problems, including estimation, influence analysis and model selection ...

Locally adaptive smoothing with Markov random fields and shrinkage priors
We present a locally adaptive nonparametric curve fitting method that operates within a fully Bayesian framework. This method uses shrinkage priors to induce sparsity in order-k differences in the latent trend function, providing a combination of local ...

Contribution to the phylogeny of Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) based on mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S rDNA genes, with comments on the identity of Pholetesor circumscriptus (Nees, 1834) [PDF]
Microgastrines are diverse group of endoparasitoid wasps attacking caterpillars (Lepidoptera). Despite their importance in biological control, there is still no consensus concerning the phylogeny relationships among taxa.

Airborne LIDAR-Derived Aboveground Biomass Estimates Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Approach
Conventional ground survey data are very accurate, but expensive. Airborne lidar data can reduce the costs and effort required to conduct large-scale forest surveys. It is critical to improve biomass estimation and evaluate carbon stock when we use lidar

Application of Markov chain Monte carlo method in Bayesian statistics
In statistical inference methods, bayesian method is a method of great influence. This paper introduces the basic idea of the bayesian method. However, the widespread popularity of MCMC samplers is largely due to their impact on solving statistical ...
