Better null models for assessing predictive accuracy of disease models.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Null models provide a critical baseline for the evaluation of predictive disease models. Many studies consider only the grand mean null model (i.e. R2) when evaluating the predictive ability of a model, which is insufficient to convey the predictive ...

Envelope tests for spatial point patterns with and without simulation
Ecosphere, 2016 Model testing is a central step of spatial point pattern analysis, which allows ecologists to judge if their data agree with ecological hypotheses. We present a simple and elegant solution of a challenging problem: the construction of a goodness‐of‐fit ...

A Fractal Landscape Realizer for Generating Synthetic Maps
Ecology and Society, 2002 A fractal landscape realizer has been developed that generates synthetic landscape maps to user specifications. The alternative landscape realizations are not identical to the actual maps after which they are patterned, but are similar statistically (i.e.

Tiny Graviton Matrix Theory On Time-Dependent Background
, 2008 In this article we construct a tiny graviton matrix model for type IIB string theory on a plane-wave background with null dilaton. For the linear null dilaton case, we analyze its vacuum and the excitation spectrum around the vacuum, and discuss the time-

PCPS – an R-package for exploring phylogenetic eigenvectors across metacommunities
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2014 PCPS is an R package for exploring phylogenetic eigenvectors across metacommunities. It offers a set of functions for analyzing principal coordinates of phylogenetic structure (PCPS), allowing analysis of phylogenetic signal in ecological traits of ...

Evidence of limiting similarity revealed using a conservative assessment of coexistence
Ecosphere, 2019 The concept of limiting similarity is important in ecology because it encapsulates the expectation under niche theory that differences among species are fundamental to coexistence. A growing body of research has tested for evidence of limiting similarity,

Energy emission from high curvature region and its backreation
, 2018 A strong gravity naked singular region can give important clues towards understanding classical as well as spontaneous nature of General Relativity. We propose here a model for energy emission from a naked singular region in a self-similar dust spacetime

The Setting of the Null Subject Parameters across (Non-)Null-Subject Languages
LanguagesThis article explores a learning model for acquiring a variety of null and non-null-subject languages (i.e., consistent, partial, semi and non-null-subject languages).
