Reproductive success under constraints: Does increased maternal activity during lactation offset poor habitat and individual quality in an income breeder?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

SPDE-ETAS: Fast and accurate Bayesian inference for the spatio-temporal epidemic type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model

Seismica
The Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence model is a well-established point process framework for characterizing earthquake occurrences. Traditionally, ETAS parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood methods, where the background rate is smoothed by ...

The effect of nearby listings on house sale prices in Sydney: A spatio‐temporal regularization approach

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the price impact of very nearby concurrently listed properties in the Sydney housing market and assess their competition effects. We apply a hedonic model with spatiotemporal effects regularized via a graph Laplacian prior at the month‐by‐SA2 regional level to seven SA4 subregions of metropolitan Sydney. The model structure enables

Asymptotics for fractionally integrated Gaussian processes, with a focus on the Gauss-Markov case

Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications
We investigate the fractional Riemann-Liouville integral of a general continuous Gaussian process, focusing first on the functional weak convergence of suitably rescaled processes.

New PMCT multi‐indicator ossification standards for age estimation of the knee in modern Australian and North American children

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation variation between modern American and Australian children.

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Predicting individual traits from models of brain dynamics accurately and reliably using the Fisher kernel

eLife
Predicting an individual’s cognitive traits or clinical condition using brain signals is a central goal in modern neuroscience. This is commonly done using either structural aspects, such as structural connectivity or cortical thickness, or aggregated ...

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

Fast Schemes for Computing Similarities between Gaussian HMMs and Their Applications in Texture Image Classification

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2005
An appropriate definition and efficient computation of similarity (or distance) measures between two stochastic models are of theoretical and practical interest.
