Probability range in damage predictions as related to sampling decisions.
The risk involved in basing a nematode management decision on predicted crop loss is related to the uncertainty in the crop damage function and error in measuring nematode population density. The sampling intensity necessary to measure a nematode population with specified precision varies with population density. Since the density is unknown prior to sampling, optimum sampling intensity for a m...
متن کاملUncertainty in QSAR predictions.
It is relevant to consider uncertainty in individual predictions when quantitative structure-activity (or property) relationships (QSARs) are used to support decisions of high societal concern. Successful communication of uncertainty in the integration of QSARs in chemical safety assessment under the EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) system can be f...
متن کاملModels and model selection uncertainty in estimating growth rates of endangered freshwater mussel populations
Appropriate inference of population status for endangered species is extremely important. Using a single model for estimating population growth rates is typically inadequate for assessing endangered species because inferences based on only one ‘‘best’’ model ignore model uncertainty. In this study, the endangered dromedary pearlymussel (Dromus dromas) in the Clinch and Powell rivers of eastern ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Performance of Adaptive Web Sampling and General Inverse Adaptive Sampling in Estimating Olive Production in Iran
Nowadays, there is an increasing use of sampling methods in network and spatial populations. Although the most common link-tracing designs such as adaptive cluster sampling and snowball sampling have advantages over conventional sampling designs such as simple random sampling and cluster sampling, these designs still present many drawbacks. Adaptive web sampling is a new link-tracing design tha...
متن کاملEstimating Markov Switching model using Gibbs sampling
The objective of this paper is to provide readers with the program to estimate a Markov switching model with time varying transition probability(Filardo, 1994) by using a statistical computing software R. Although many of the previous studies estimating the model have conducted the estimation by the maximum likelihood estimation, this paper utilizes Gibbs sampling method. Using Gibbs sampling m...
