Modeling Count Distributions via Skewness–Kurtosis Orthogonal Expansions
MathematicsWe develop a semi-parametric framework for representing discrete probability mass functions through orthogonal polynomial representations. Classical count models, such as the Poisson and negative binomial distributions, impose restrictive structural ...

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Can Knowledge of Taxi Drivers’ Intentions to Commit Traffic Violations Predict Crash Frequency?
SafetyTaxi drivers are a group with high driving exposure and are involved in a significant number of urban traffic casualties. Using two modelling approaches, this study examines whether the intention to speed, as measured by the Theory of Planned Behaviour ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Models of spatiotemporal variation in hunter harvest show that monsoon precipitation and changes in hunter behavior and composition are the primary drivers underlying variation in annual harvest of Montezuma quail. The demographic structure of the previous year's harvest was also strongly associated with the magnitude and rate of annual harvest ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.The North Slave Métis Alliance's Indigenous Guardianship Program conducted on‐the‐ground patrols monitoring caribou interactions with the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter road and quantify caribou harvest. Quantifying the impacts of winter roads on barren‐ground caribou herds supports community members’ commitment to safeguarding their traditional territory

Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) in R
Journal of Statistical Software, 2007 GAMLSS is a general framework for fitting regression type models where the distribution of the response variable does not have to belong to the exponential family and includes highly skew and kurtotic continuous and discrete distribution.

, 2019 An increase in variance (overdispersion) can occur when a binomial statistical analysis is applied to sensory difference test data in which replicate sensory evaluations (tastings) and multiple evaluators (judges) are combined to increase the sample size.
