The combinatorial structure of beta negative binomial processes
, 2016 We characterize the combinatorial structure of conditionally-i.i.d. sequences of negative binomial processes with a common beta process base measure. In Bayesian nonparametric applications, such processes have served as models for latent multisets of ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Population Ecology, EarlyView.We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

PLoS ONE, 2017 BackgroundAirway microbiota dynamics during lower respiratory infection (LRI) are still poorly understood due, in part, to insufficient longitudinal studies and lack of uncontaminated lower airways samples.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

A Note on Bayesian Estimation for the Negative-Binomial Model [PDF]
, 2009 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62F15.The Negative Binomial model, which is generated by a simple mixture model, has been widely applied in the social, health and economic market prediction.

Bayesian approach to LR assessment in case of rare type match: careful derivation and limits
, 2016 The likelihood ratio (LR) is largely used to evaluate the relative weight of forensic data regarding two hypotheses and for its assessment Bayesian methods are widespread in the forensic field.

Detectability of Plasmodium falciparum clones. [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: In areas of high transmission people often harbour multiple clones of Plasmodium falciparum, but even PCR-based diagnostic methods can only detect a fraction (the detectability, q) of all clones present in a host.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.
