Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

CONWAY-MAXWELL POISSON REGRESSION MODELING OF INFANT MORTALITY IN SOUTH SULAWESI

Media Statistika
Overdispersion is a common problem in count data that can lead to inaccurate parameter estimates in Poisson regression models. Quasi-Poisson and negative binomial regressions are often used to address overdispersion but have limitations, especially with ...

A Semiparametric Approach to Test for the Presence of INAR: Simulations and Empirical Applications

Mathematics, 2022
The present paper explores the application of bootstrap methods in testing for serial dependence in observed driven Integer-AutoRegressive (models) considering Poisson arrivals (P-INAR).

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Copula‐based joint modelling of emergency department visits with time‐varying dependence

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Jointly modelling multiple correlated count time series is essential in health services research, where outcomes like emergency visits for mental health and substance use often evolve together. Ignoring these dependencies can obscure meaningful trends and limit the effectiveness of policy evaluation.

The Ridge-Hurdle Negative Binomial Regression Model: A Novel Solution for Zero-Inflated Counts in the Presence of Multicollinearity

Stats
Datasets with many zero outcomes are common in real-world studies and often exhibit overdispersion and strong correlations among predictors, creating challenges for standard count models.

Drivers of Postharvest Loss among Citrus Farmers in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa: A Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) Regression Model Analysis

Agriculture, 2022
Reducing postharvest losses (PHLs) in the South African citrus industry is fundamental in ensuring food, income, and nutrition security. However, there is limited knowledge on the extent of postharvest losses, their diversity, and the associated ...

Self‐Reported Versus Objectively Logged Social Media Use: Implications for Measurement in Eating Disorder Research

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Self‐reported frequency measures of social media use (e.g., “How often do you use social media?”) are convenient, yet their criterion validity against objective behavioral data remains largely untested in eating disorder research. We compared self‐reports of TikTok use with objective data extracted from TikTok datafiles.

A New First-Order Integer-Valued Autoregressive Model with Bell Innovations

Entropy, 2021
A Poisson distribution is commonly used as the innovation distribution for integer-valued autoregressive models, but its mean is equal to its variance, which limits flexibility, so a flexible, one-parameter, infinitely divisible Bell distribution may be ...

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...
