Multiscale Entropy-Based Surface Complexity Analysis for Land Cover Image Semantic Segmentation

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Recognizing and classifying natural or artificial geo-objects under complex geo-scenes using remotely sensed data remains a significant challenge due to the heterogeneity in their spatial distribution and sampling bias.

Sample Bias in Caregiving Research [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Gerontology, 1990
Data on subject selection biases in research with older adults are limited. We conducted two sample bias studies that assessed primary caregivers for dementia patients. The first study compared 46 caregivers, who required home interviews, with 63 caregivers willing to travel to the university hospital for assessment; all subjects had been offered free ...

Reliability of Longitudinal Social Surveys of Access to Higher Education: The Case of Next Steps in England

open access: yesSocial Inclusion, 2019
Longitudinal social surveys are widely used to understand which factors enable or constrain access to higher education. One such data resource is the Next Steps survey comprising an initial sample of 16,122 pupils aged 13–14 attending English state and ...

Variability in micronekton active carbon transport estimates on the Southwest Coast of Oahu using three different sampling gears

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Micronekton were sampled off the southwest coast of Oahu in October of 2004 as part of the North Pacific Marine Sciences Organization (PICES) Micronekton Sampling Gear Intercalibration experiment (MIE-1).

Fourier Analysis of Stochastic Sampling Strategies for Assessing Bias and Variance in Integration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Each pixel in a photorealistic, computer generated picture is calculated by approximately integrating all the light arriving at the pixel, from the virtual scene. A common strategy to calculate these high-dimensional integrals is to average the estimates

Estimation Bias in Maximum Entropy Models

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Maximum entropy models have become popular statistical models in neuroscience and other areas in biology and can be useful tools for obtaining estimates of mutual information in biological systems.

Optimizing noninvasive sampling of a zoonotic bat virus

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Outbreaks of infectious viruses resulting from spillover events from bats have brought much attention to bat‐borne zoonoses, which has motivated increased ecological and epidemiological studies on bat populations.

Small sample bias correction or bias reduction?

open access: yesCommunications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2019
Many problems in biomedical and other sciences are subject to biased estimates (maximum likelihood or of similar types).

Sparse sampling, galaxy bias, and voids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
To study the impact of sparsity and galaxy bias on void statistics, we use a single large-volume, high-resolution N-body simulation to compare voids in multiple levels of subsampled dark matter, halo populations, and mock galaxies from a Halo Occupation ...

Wrong, but useful: regional species distribution models may not be improved by range‐wide data under biased sampling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Species distribution modeling (SDM) is an essential method in ecology and conservation. SDMs are often calibrated within one country's borders, typically along a limited environmental gradient with biased and incomplete data, making the quality of these ...
