Place‐based risk: Examining relationships between adolescent perceptions of community risk factors and adolescent substance use across geographic contexts

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed evidence for the influence of structural and social factors on adolescent substance use behaviors exists across the rural–urban continuum. Therefore, this study explores how adolescent perceptions of structural and social community risk factors are associated with lifetime and past 30‐day use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, and ...

MONTE CARLO MARKOV CHAIN (MCMC) STOCHASTIC MODELING OF SUPPLY CHAIN

Annals: Series on engineering sciences (Academy of Romanian Scientists)
Effective inventory management in multi-echelon supply chains is challenged by stochastic demand and uncertain lead times, which amplify variability and increase operational costs.

Molecular methods for differentiating Phragmites australis subspecies and identification of hybrid stands in the Upper Midwestern United States

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In North America, Phragmites australis (common reed) has drawn a great deal of research attention. Non‐native P. australis subsp. australis is a noxious weed that has locally displaced native P. australis subsp. americanus in some areas.

Distance between configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
For a given Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm we introduce a distance between two configurations that quantifies the difficulty of transition from one configuration to the other configuration.

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

MCMCpack: Markov Chain Monte Carlo in R

Journal of Statistical Software, 2011
We introduce MCMCpack, an R package that contains functions to perform Bayesian inference using posterior simulation for a number of statistical models. In addition to code that can be used to fit commonly used models, MCMCpack also contains some useful ...
