Decomposing niche components reveals simultaneous effects of opposite deterministic processes structuring alpine small mammal assembly

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionSpecies distribution in alpine areas is constrained by multiple abiotic and biotic stressors. This leads to discrepant assembly patterns between different locations and study objects as opposite niche-based processes—limiting similarity and ...

Consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator in a zero-inflated generalized Poisson regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Poisson regression models for count variables have been utilized in many applications. However, in many problems overdispersion and zero-inflation occur.

Statistical model for overdispersed count outcome with many zeros: an approach for direct marginal inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Marginalized models are in great demand by most researchers in the life sciences particularly in clinical trials, epidemiology, health-economics, surveys and many others since they allow generalization of inference to the entire population under study ...

Phylogenetic structure and formation mechanism of shrub communities in arid and semiarid areas of the Mongolian Plateau [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The mechanisms of species coexistence within a community have always been the focus in ecological research. Community phylogenetic structure reflects the relationship of historical processes, regional environments, and interactions between species, and ...

Understanding the Overdispersed Molecular Clock [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2000
Abstract Rates of molecular evolution at some protein-encoding loci are more irregular than expected under a simple neutral model of molecular evolution. This pattern of excessive irregularity in protein substitutions is often called the “overdispersed molecular clock” and is characterized by an index of dispersion, R(T) > 1 ...

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

open access: yesMathematics, 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).

On the Overdispersed Molecular Clock [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 1987
ABSTRACT Rates of molecular evolution at some loci are more irregular than described by simple Poisson processes. Three situations under which molecular evolution would not follow simple Poisson processes are reevaluated from the viewpoint of the neutrality hypothesis: (i) concomitant or multiple substitutions in a gene, (ii) fluctuating

IV Thrombolysis Facilitates Interventional Reperfusion in Non‐Cardioembolic but Not Cardioembolic Stroke

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before thrombectomy for ischemic stroke may alter clot structure and procedural performance. We investigated how IVT relates to thrombectomy metrics across stroke etiologies. Methods We performed a time‐to‐event analysis of consecutive patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO ...

Effect of spatial overdispersion on confidence intervals for population density estimated by spatial capture–recapture

open access: yesPeer Community Journal
Spatially explicit capture–recapture models are used widely to estimate the density of animal populations. The population is represented by an inhomogeneous Poisson point process, where each point is the activity centre of an individual and density ...

Molecular Clock on a Neutral Network

open access: yes, 2007
The number of fixed mutations accumulated in an evolving population often displays a variance that is significantly larger than the mean (the overdispersed molecular clock). By examining a generic evolutionary process on a neutral network of high-fitness
