Comparison of inference methods of genetic parameters with an application to body weight in broilers [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2015 REML (restricted maximum likelihood) has become the standard method of variance component estimation in animal breeding. Inference in Bayesian animal models is typically based upon Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, which are generally flexible but

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Due to the occurrence of more frequent and widespread toxic cyanobacteria events, the ability to predict freshwater cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHAB) is of critical importance for the management of drinking and recreational waters.

A Bayes factor framework for unified parameter estimation and hypothesis testing
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Bayes factor, the data‐based updating factor of the prior to posterior odds of two hypotheses, is a natural measure of statistical evidence for one hypothesis over the other. We show how Bayes factors can also be used for parameter estimation.

A spatiotemporal analysis of Salmonella bacteraemia in Queensland, 2010–2019
Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Salmonellosis contributes to a significant burden on global healthcare systems. The impact of this foodborne bacterium is more pronounced when the infection is invasive, leading to bacteraemia and sepsis. Studies on invasive salmonellosis are few, and there is an urgent need to understand the spatial distribution of bacteraemia and ...

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Understanding the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID‐19 is crucial for informed decision‐making and resource allocation. A critical component of disease behaviour is the velocity with which disease spreads, defined as the rate of change between time and space.

Geographical Pattern of Testicular Cancer Points to Maternal Exposures Behind Increasing Incidence
International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 11, Page 2688-2693, 1 December 2026.ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that testicular cancer (TC) originates from germ cell neoplasia in situ arising during fetal development, implying that prenatal environmental exposures may influence disease risk. We investigated whether maternal place of residence during pregnancy is associated with regional variation in TC incidence.
