Comparing probabilistic methods for outlier detection [PDF]

, 1992
This paper compares the use of two posterior probability methods to deal with outliers in linear models. We show that putting together diagnostics that come from the mean-shift and variance-shift models yields a procedure that seems to be more effective ...

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Statistical multi-moment bifurcations in random delay coupled swarms

, 2012
We study the effects of discrete, randomly distributed time delays on the dynamics of a coupled system of self-propelling particles. Bifurcation analysis on a mean field approximation of the system reveals that the system possesses patterns with certain ...

Dissecting the genetic basis of drought escape across multiple traits in colonizing Arabidopsis thaliana lineages

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cape Verde Islandspopulations experience seasonal drought and high humidity during the growing season, driving drought escape strategies relative to their Moroccan outgroup. Summary Drought response in plants is complex, involving integration across a range of physiological processes.

Optimizing ridge regression through Bayesian estimators: a Lindley's approximation study

Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation
In linear regression modelling, it is crucial for the explanatory variables to be uncorrelated with each other; however, this assumption is often violated. When the explanatory variables are highly multicollinear, the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator can yield estimates with larger variances.

Small Area Shrinkage Estimation

, 2012
The need for small area estimates is increasingly felt in both the public and private sectors in order to formulate their strategic plans. It is now widely recognized that direct small area survey estimates are highly unreliable owing to large standard ...

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.

Examining HbA1c in Frail Older Adults: A Linked Data Cohort Study

Australasian Journal on Ageing, Volume 45, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Diabetes and frailty pose a significant issue for society. Previous research has shown a mixed relationship between diabetes and frailty in older people, indicating a complex interrelationship. The aim of this study was to examine the association between routinely collected HbA1c testing data and frailty in a large cohort from ...

Lindley’s Approximation in Estimating Two-Parameters Inverted Weighted Exponential Distribution

Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Inverted Weighted Exponential distribution can be used to describe and model real life phenomena with unimodal or decreasing failure rates. The main aim of this study is to use Bayesian approach to estimate the two parameters of the distribution.

A Decade of Airborne Electromagnetic Surveying Lake Menindee (Australia) Under Varying Water Levels

Geophysical Prospecting, Volume 74, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Time domain airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying is a mature geophysical tool for imaging the Earth's shallow subsurface. It produces images of the electromagnetic conductivity structure of the earth, down to depths of a few hundred metres.
