Sample Out-of-Sample Inference Based on Wasserstein Distance [PDF]
Operations Research, 2021 Financial institutions make decisions according to a model of uncertainty. At the same time, regulators often evaluate the risk exposure of these institutions using a model of uncertainty, which is often different from the one used by the institutions. How can one incorporate both views into a single framework? This paper provides such a framework. It

Adaptive k-tree sample plot for the estimation of stem density: An empirical approach
Journal of Forest Science, 2018 Available budgets for the inventory of non-commercial woodlands are small. Therefore, there has been increased interest in using distance methods, such as k-tree sampling, which are faster than fixed plot sampling.

A comparison of four different methods to estimate population size of Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) [PDF]
, 2017 Obtaining reliable information on animal abundance in mountainous landscapes is challenging. Highly heterogeneous habitats tend to reduce detection probabilities, and the three-dimensional, rugged nature of the terrain poses severe limits to the ...
