Incorporating parametric uncertainty into population viability analysis models
Uncertainty in parameter estimates from sampling variation or expert judgment can introduce substantial uncertainty into ecological predictions based on those estimates. However, in standard population viability analyses, one of the most widely used tools for managing plant, fish and wildlife populations, parametric uncertainty is often ignored in or discarded from model projections. We present...
متن کاملIncorporating uncertainty and prior information into stable isotope mixing models.
Stable isotopes are a powerful tool for ecologists, often used to assess contributions of different sources to a mixture (e.g. prey to a consumer). Mixing models use stable isotope data to estimate the contribution of sources to a mixture. Uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. We developed a Bayesian-mixing model that ...
متن کاملIncorporating Attribute Value Uncertainty into Decision Analysis
Attribute value uncertainty is present in a decision when the consequences are characterized by uncertain estimates of the underlying, unknown true values. Attributes defined based upon measurement data, experimental data, or survey data are subject to attribute value uncertainty. Uncertainty in decision modeling has received significant attention from the community, most notably the methods pe...
متن کاملIncorporating Uncertainty into Time-geographic Density Estimates
Time geography provides a rigorous mathematical framework for analysing movement patterns of mobile objects (Hagerstrand 1970, Miller 2005a). Given a set of tracking data, the fundamental elements of time geography—the space-time path and space-time prism—can be used to delimit the possible movements of an object between observed data points. This basic approach has proven useful in a number of...
متن کاملThe practical utility of incorporating model selection uncertainty into prognostic models for survival data
Predictions of disease outcome in prognostic factor models are usually based on one selected model. However, often several models fit the data equally well, but these models might differ substantially in terms of included explanatory variables and might lead to different predictions for individual patients. For survival data we discuss two approaches for accounting for model selection uncertain...
