Ratio plot and ratio regression with applications to social and medical sciences

open access: yes, 2016
We consider count data modeling, in particular, the zero-truncated case as it arises naturally in capture–recapture modeling as the marginal distribution of the count of identifications of the members of a target population.

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

A cautionary note on using the scale prior for the parameter N of a binomial distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Statistical analysis of ecological data may require the estimation of the size of a population, or of the number of species with a certain population. This task frequently reduces to estimating the discrete parameter N representing the number of trials ...

Vicarious Touch: A Potential Substitute for Social Touch During Touch Deprivation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Restricted interpersonal touch experiences, for instance due to COVID‐19 social distancing measures, result in detrimental effects on anxiety, loneliness and psychological well‐being. Yet, interventions capable of mitigating the impact of social touch deprivation, as experienced during the COVID‐19 pandemic, remain insufficient. In this study,

Semiparametric Regression in Capture-Recapture Modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Capture-recapture models were developed to estimate survival using data arising from marking and monitoring wild animals over time. Variation in the survival process may be explained by incorporating relevant covariates.

Exercise serum promotes DNA damage repair and remodels gene expression in colon cancer cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Exercise releases bioactive molecules into the bloodstream that can directly slow cancer cell growth. In colon cancer, this may help limit disease progression. Here, using colon cancer cells, the authors investigated the effects of exercise‐conditioned human serum on DNA repair mechanisms. Notably, acute exercise in humans elicited systemic

Determinants of capture-recapture success: an evaluation of trapping methods to estimate population and community parameters for Atlantic forest small mammals

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2015
Efficiently obtaining high-quality data on animal populations and communities is paramount for ecological and conservation studies. In many instances these data come from live-trapping, the success of which depends on various factors, such as the ...

A comprehensive longitudinal analysis of changes during Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder pharmacological treatments: Relationships between clinical measures, QbCheck and Conners CPT‐II

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aims to evaluate the clinical value of using QbCheck in routine Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) clinics by investigating longitudinal inter‐domain relationships between objective neurocognitive outcomes of QbCheck and subjective clinical outcomes: ADHD core symptoms, impairment and quality of life (QoL ...

Bayesian inference for Latent Class model via MCMC with application to capture-recapture data [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we propose a Bayesian Latent Class model for capture-recapture data. Through two appliations, the first concerning a sample of snowshoe hares and the second concerning a sample of diabetics in a small Italian town, we show how the proposed ...
