Global Modeling and Prediction of Computer Network Traffic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We develop a probabilistic framework for global modeling of the traffic over a computer network. This model integrates existing single-link (-flow) traffic models with the routing over the network to capture the global traffic behavior.

New important developments in small area estimation

open access: yes, 2010
The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss some of the new important developments in small area estimation (SAE) methods. Rao (2003) wrote a very comprehensive book, which covers all the main developments in this topic until that time and so the ...

Combining predictions from linear models when training and test inputs differ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Methods for combining predictions from different models in a supervised learning setting must somehow estimate/predict the quality of a model's predictions at unknown future inputs.

Powering Transparency: Global Drivers of Sustainability Reporting in the Electricity Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the drivers of sustainability reporting quality (QSR), conceptualised along two complementary dimensions, relevance and reliability, to assess how firm‐level attributes and institutional conditions jointly shape disclosure practices in the electricity sector.

A comparison of empirical BLUP with different considerations of residual error variance for genotype evaluation of multi-location trials

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
The empirical best linear unbiased prediction (eBLUP) is usually based on the assumption that the residual error variance (REV) is homogenous. This may be unrealistic, and therefore limits the accuracy of genotype evaluations for multi-location trials ...

Estimadores compuestos en estadística regional: aplicación para la tasa de variación de la ocupación en la industria [PDF]

open access: yes
This work is part of a project studying the performance of model based estimators in a small area context. We have chosen a simple statistical application in which we estimate the growth rate of accupation for several regions of Spain.

On Second Thought: The Impact of Confessions, DNA, and Belief Perseverance on Students' Perceptions of Guilt and Interrogations

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing public knowledge of false confession cases, research with students and community members continues to find that people assume confessions indicate guilt. The present research explored the implications of belief perseverance: the tendency to maintain a belief even when confronted with compelling contradictory evidence.

A novel analytical method, Birth Date Selection Mapping, detects response of the Angus (Bos taurus) genome to selection on complex traits

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Several methods have recently been developed to identify regions of the genome that have been exposed to strong selection. However, recent theoretical and empirical work suggests that polygenic models are required to identify the genomic ...

Semi-Parametric Empirical Best Prediction for small area estimation of unemployment indicators

open access: yes, 2018
The Italian National Institute for Statistics regularly provides estimates of unemployment indicators using data from the Labor Force Survey. However, direct estimates of unemployment incidence cannot be released for Local Labor Market Areas.
