Testing Linear Operator Constraints in Functional Response Regression with Incomplete Response Functions. [PDF]
Electron J Stat, 2023 Hypothesis testing procedures are developed to assess linear operator constraints in function-on-scalar regression when incomplete functional responses are observed. The approach enables statistical inferences about the shape and other aspects of the functional regression coefficients within a unified framework encompassing three incomplete sampling ...

European Economic Review, 2017 Supporters of standard teleosemantics argue that informational teleosemantics turns teleosemantics on its head, because functions are effects but a representation’s information relations concern its causes. In chapter 6, the author responds to this influential objection by explaining that, while functions must involve effects, this is not to the ...

Generalist bird exhibits site‐dependent resource selection
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Quantifying resource selection (an organism's disproportionate use of available resources) is essential to infer habitat requirements of a species, develop management recommendations, predict species responses to changing conditions, and improve our ...

Considerations When Applying the Consumer Functional Response Measured Under Artificial Conditions
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Since its creation, considerable effort has been given to improving the utility of the consumer functional response. To date, the majority of efforts have focused on improving mathematical formulation in order to include additional ecological processes ...

Fractal-Fractional Caputo Maize Streak Virus Disease Model
Fractal and Fractional, 2023 Maize is one of the most extensively produced cereals in the world. The maize streak virus primarily infects maize but can also infect over 80 other grass species. Leafhoppers are the primary vectors of the maize streak virus.
