Microbial Diversity Estimation and Hill Number Calculation Using the Hierarchical Pitman‐Yor Process
ABSTRACT Background The human microbiome comprises the microorganisms that inhabit the various locales of the human body and plays a vital role in human health. The composition of a microbial population is often quantified through measures of species diversity, which summarize the number of species along with their relative abundances into a single ...

A crucial step of the two commonly used geostatistical methods for modeling heterogeneous reservoirs : the sequential indicator simulation and the truncated Gaussian simulation is the estimation of the lithofacies local proportion (or probability density)

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

Performance of epistasis detection methods in semi-simulated GWAS
Background Part of the missing heritability in Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) is expected to be explained by interactions between genetic variants, also called epistasis. Various statistical methods have been developed to detect epistasis in case-

Abstract We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients of a subset vector autoregressive process with exogenous variables (VARX). Using a martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators. Diagnostic checking is discussed using kernel‐based

Divergence and Model Adequacy, a Semiparametric Case Study
Adequacy for estimation between an inferential method and a model can be defined through two main requirements: firstly the inferential tool should define a well posed problem when applied to the model; secondly the resulting statistical procedure should

Non‐negative Gaussian estimation of variance components in random effects models
Abstract When used to estimate variance components (VCs), confidence intervals (CIs) can be truncated at zero, have a point estimate not in the quoted CI, be empty with positive probability, or be all‐inclusive. This is because they have conflicting dual roles, since they are considered to cover the parameter with a specified probability while also ...
