Co-occurrence is not evidence of ecological interactions.
There is a rich amount of information in co-occurrence (presence-absence) data that could be used to understand community assembly. This proposition first envisioned by Forbes (1907) and then Diamond (1975) prompted the development of numerous modelling ...

Adjustment for energy intake in nutritional research: a causal inference perspective
Background: Four models are commonly used to adjust for energy intake when estimating the causal effect of a dietary component on an outcome; (1) the 'standard model' adjusts for total energy intake, (2) the 'energy partition model' adjusts for remaining

Influence of regional precipitation patterns on stable isotopes in ice cores from the central Himalayas [PDF]
Several ice cores have been recovered from the Dasuopu (DSP) Glacier and the East Rongbuk (ER) Glacier in the central Himalayas since the 1990s. Although the distance between the DSP and the ER ice core drilling sites is only ~ 125 km, the stable ...

An information theory based behavioral model for agent-based crowd simulations [PDF]
Crowds must be simulated believable in terms of their appearance and behavior to improve a virtual environment’s realism. Due to the complex nature of human behavior, realistic behavior of agents in crowd simulations is still a challenging problem.

On Quantifying Dependence: A Framework for Developing Interpretable Measures
We present a framework for selecting and developing measures of dependence when the goal is the quantification of a relationship between two variables, not simply the establishment of its existence.

Digital reconstruction of the Ceprano calvarium (Italy), and implications for its interpretation [PDF]
The Ceprano calvarium was discovered in fragments on March 1994 near the town of Ceprano in southern Latium (Italy), embedded in Middle Pleistocene layers. After reconstruction, its morphological features suggests that the specimen belongs to an archaic
