Statistical matching for conservation science. [PDF]
Abstract The awareness of the need for robust impact evaluations in conservation is growing and statistical matching techniques are increasingly being used to assess the impacts of conservation interventions. Used appropriately matching approaches are powerful tools, but they also pose potential pitfalls.

Statistical Properties of Color Matching Functions [PDF]
AbstractIn trichromats, color vision entails the projection of an infinite-dimensional space (the one containing all possible electromagnetic power spectra) onto the three-dimensional space that modulates the activity of the three types of cones. This drastic reduction in dimensionality gives rise to metamerism, that is, the perceptual chromatic ...

Evaluating the utility of data integration with synthetic data and statistical matching [PDF]
Data integration enhances dataset utility but raises privacy concerns due to increased disclosure risks. Synthetic data offers a potential solution, though its role in data integration has not been thoroughly investigated.

Partial identification in the statistical matching problem. [PDF]
The statistical matching problem involves the integration of multiple datasets where some variables are not observed jointly. This missing data pattern leaves most statistical models unidentifiable. Statistical inference is still possible when operating under the framework of partially identified models, where the goal is to bound the parameters rather

Imputation for Missing Data in Statistical Matching Using Goal Programming [PDF]
Nearly all common statistical approaches assume complete information for all variables involved in the analysis, which making missing data problematic. Imputation is the process of substituting a missing value with a specific value, and it is most likely

Equidistributed Statistics on Matchings and Permutations [PDF]
We show that the bistatistic of right nestings and right crossings in matchings without left nestings is equidistributed with the number of occurrences of two certain patterns in permutations, and furthermore that this equidistribution holds when refined to positions of these statistics in matchings and permutations.

Protected areas slow down tropical rainforest disturbance in the Leuser Ecosystem, Indonesia
Tropical rainforest ecosystems that function as biodiversity pools had been undermined because of anthropogenic activities. Research has shown that protected areas (PAs) have become the first safeguard for biodiversity.
