Some Representational and Ecological Aspects of Evolvability

In this brief position paper I highlight a number of issues relevant to the evolvability of arti cial life systems. These issues became apparent over the course of my doctoral research which involved studying the evolutionary dynamics of a Tierra-like system (Taylor 1999a). The rst two issues (multifunctional phenotypic components and semantic closure) relate to the representation and function ...

Quality aspects in intensive forest monitoring

Under the umbrella of the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP), the intensive forest monitoring program has been recording data on up to 88 intensive monitoring plots (Level II) in Germany. Parameters recorded are numerous and changes in manuals have not ceased to entail challenges. These cover all aspects from the design to sample collection, from lab procedures to dat...

Some methodological aspects of validation of models in nonparametric regression

In this paper we describe some general methods for constructing goodness of t tests in nonparametric regression models. Our main concern is the development of statisticial methodology for the assessment (validation) of speci c parametric modelsM as they arise in various elds of applications. The fundamental idea which underlies all these methods is the investigation of certain goodness of t sta...
