Concurrent ordination: Simultaneous unconstrained and constrained latent variable modelling

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
In community ecology, unconstrained ordination can be used to indirectly explore drivers of community composition, while constrained ordination can be used to directly relate predictors to an ecological community. However, existing constrained ordination

Ordinal Games [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
We study strategic games where players' preferences are weak orders which need not admit utility representations. First of all, we extend Voorneveld's concept of best-response potential from cardinal to ordinal games and derive the analogue of his characterization result: An ordinal game is a best-response potential game if and only if it does not have
