Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Manufacturer - Wholesaler System Study Based on Markov Decision Process

open access: yes
Economic efficiency of trading and manufacturing enterprises is conditioned by a variety of reasons one of them being a proper pricing policy. Besides cost price, sale/demand correlation and marketing tactics many other factors that cannot be fully ...

Non-Stationary Semi-Markov Decision Processes on a Finite Horizon

open access: yes, 2012
We introduce and study a class of non-stationary semi-Markov decision processes on a finite horizon. By constructing an equivalent Markov decision process, we establish the existence of a piecewise open loop relaxed control which is optimal for the ...

Multi-State Models for Panel Data: The msm Package for R [PDF]

open access: yes
Panel data are observations of a continuous-time process at arbitrary times, for example, visits to a hospital to diagnose disease status. Multi-state models for such data are generally based on the Markov assumption.

Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Long-Term Energy Consumption Minimization Based on UAV Joint Content Fetching and Trajectory Design

open access: yesSensors
Caching the contents of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could significantly improve the content fetching performance of request users (RUs). In this paper, we study UAV trajectory design, content fetching, power allocation, and content placement problems

The effect of nearby listings on house sale prices in Sydney: A spatio‐temporal regularization approach

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the price impact of very nearby concurrently listed properties in the Sydney housing market and assess their competition effects. We apply a hedonic model with spatiotemporal effects regularized via a graph Laplacian prior at the month‐by‐SA2 regional level to seven SA4 subregions of metropolitan Sydney. The model structure enables

Flexible unimodal density estimation in hidden Markov models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful tools for modelling time‐series data with underlying state structure. However, selecting appropriate parametric forms for the state‐dependent distributions is often challenging and can lead to model misspecification.
