Simple reparameterization to improve convergence in linear mixed models

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2010
Slow convergence and mixing are one of the main problems of Markov chain Monte Carlo (McMC) algorithms applied to mixed models in animal breeding. Poor convergence is to a large extent caused by high posterior correlation between variance components and ...

Mixed-effects model results. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In (a), the models study the effect of session length on the quality of the first comment C1 in a session; i.e., data only contains the first session comments.

Models of neutrino masses and mixings

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2004
We review theoretical ideas, problems and implications of neutrino masses and mixing angles. We give a general discussion of schemes with three light neutrinos. Several specific examples are analyzed in some detail, particularly those that can be embedded into grand unified theories.

Reproductive maturity and cone abundance vary with tree size and stand basal area for two widely distributed conifers

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Understanding potential limitations to tree regeneration is essential as rates of tree mortality increase in response to direct (extreme drought) and indirect (bark beetle outbreaks, wildfire) effects of a warming climate.

Bayes factor between Student t and Gaussian mixed models within an animal breeding context

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2008
The implementation of Student t mixed models in animal breeding has been suggested as a useful statistical tool to effectively mute the impact of preferential treatment or other sources of outliers in field data. Nevertheless, these additional sources of

Posterior-based proposals for speeding up Markov chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is widely used for Bayesian inference in models of complex systems. Performance, however, is often unsatisfactory in models with many latent variables due to so-called poor mixing, necessitating the development of ...

Selection and Fitting of Mixed Models in Sugarcane Yield Trials

open access: yesAgriculture, 2022
Mixed models are a useful tool for the analysis of sugarcane field trials in which sugarcane varieties are allocated in different locations and phenotypic traits are evaluated in the same experimental unit (plot) over time. One challenge to analyze these

Mixed Shock Models

open access: yesBernoulli, 2001
The author studies system lifetimes that are associated with a cumulative shock model as follows: The system fails when the cumulative damage exceeds some threshold, or when a single large shock occurs. \textit{H. Li} and the reviewer [Stochastic Processes Appl. 58, No. 2, 205-216 (1995; Zbl 0833.60088); Appl. Probab. 34, No.

Multi-trait selection in multi-environments for performance and stability in cassava genotypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Genotype-environment interaction (GEI) presents challenges when aiming to select optimal cassava genotypes, often due to biased genetic estimates. Various strategies have been proposed to address the need for simultaneous improvements in multiple traits,

Invited review: A review of some commonly used meta-analysis methods in dairy science research

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: Meta-analyses have become increasingly common, providing meaningful summaries of cumulative knowledge in the dairy science literature. Some of the corresponding meta-analytic techniques have been developed by knowledgeable dairy scientists, some of ...
