Inference using a composite-likelihood approximation for stochastic metapopulation model of disease spread [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Spatio-temporal pathogen spread is often partially observed at the metapopulation scale. Available data correspond to proxies and are incomplete, censored and heterogeneous. Moreover, representing such biological systems often leads to complex stochastic models.

Fitting birth-death processes to panel data with applications to bacterial DNA fingerprinting [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2013, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2315-2335, 2010 Continuous-time linear birth-death-immigration (BDI) processes are frequently used in ecology and epidemiology to model stochastic dynamics of the population of interest. In clinical settings, multiple birth-death processes can describe disease trajectories of individual patients, allowing for estimation of the effects of individual covariates on the ...

Optical structure and function of the white filamentary hair covering the edelweiss bracts [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 71, 011906 (2005), 2007 The optical properties of the inflorescence of the high-altitude ''Leontopodium nivale'' subsp. ''alpinum'' (edelweiss) is investigated, in relation with its submicrometer structure, as determined by scanning electron microscopy. The filaments forming the hair layer have been found to exhibit an internal structure which may be one of the few examples ...
