Acacia (wattle) and Cananga (ylang-ylang): from spiral to whorled and irregular (chaotic) phyllotactic patterns – a pictorial report

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2016
Phyllotaxis, i.e., the arrangement of leaves around the stem and leaf-like organs inside flowers is regular in most vascular plants. Thus, developmental models usually explain regular phyllotactic patterns such as Fibonacci spirals and decussate/whorled ...

Nonparametric Density Estimation for Multivariate Bounded Data [PDF]

open access: yes
We propose a new nonparametric estimator for the density function of multivariate bounded data. As frequently observed in practice, the variables may be partially bounded (e.g., nonnegative) or completely bounded (e.g., in the unit interval). In addition,
