Foveated Multiscale Models for Large-Scale Estimation
EEcient, large-scale estimation methods such as nested dissection or multiscale estimation rely on a divide-and-conquer strategy, in which a statistical problem is conditionally broken into smaller pieces. This conditional decorrelation is not possible for arbitrarily large problems due to issues of computational complexity and numerical stability. Given the growing interest in global-scale rem...
متن کاملMultiply-rooted multiscale models for large-scale estimation
Divide-and-conquer or multiscale techniques have become popular for solving large statistical estimation problems. The methods rely on defining a state which conditionally decorrelates the large problem into multiple subproblems, each more straightforward than the original. However this step cannot be carried out for asymptotically large problems since the dimension of the state grows without b...
متن کاملWhen can ecological speciation be detected with neutral loci?
It is not yet clear under what conditions empirical studies can reliably detect progress toward ecological speciation through the analysis of allelic variation at neutral loci. We use a simulation approach to investigate the range of parameter space under which such detection is, and is not, likely. We specifically test for the conditions under which divergent natural selection can cause a 'gen...
متن کاملHominid Brain Evolution Testing Climatic, Ecological, and Social Competition Models
Hypotheses regarding the selective pressures driving the threefold increase in the size of the hominid brain since Homo habilis include climatic conditions, ecological demands, and social competition. We provide a multivariate analysis that enables the simultaneous assessment of variables representing each of these potential selective forces. Data were collated for latitude, prevalence of harmf...
متن کاملThe Effect of Large-Scale Climatic Signals on Rainfall in Mazandaran Province
Rainfall prognosis plays an important role in drought management and planning of drinking water and agricultural water resources. Also, Future policies can be tailored to optimize spending and maximum productivity. In this study, the effect of large-scale climatic signals on rainfall in Mazandaran province was investigated. The first, the effect of climatic signals on precipitation simultan...
