fishmax: An R package for Bayesian estimation of maximum body size in animals
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Maximum body size is a key trait of an animal species, determining its population dynamics, productivity and interactions with other species and the environment. For fish in particular, the maximum body length or Lmax$$ {L}_{\mathrm{max}} $$ correlates strongly to other life history parameters and is commonly used in ecological models and ...

Robo‐Saber: Generating and Simulating Virtual Reality Players
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present the first motion generation system for playtesting virtual reality (VR) games. Our player model generates VR headset and handheld controller movements from in‐game object arrangements, guided by style reference gameplay examples. We train on the large BOXRR‐23 dataset and apply our framework on the popular VR game Beat Saber.

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.
