Monotonicity Constrained Estimators
We aim at estimating a function λ : [0,1]→ R, subject to the constraint that it is decreasing (or increasing). We provide a unified approach for studying the Lp-loss of an estimator defined as the slope of a concave (or convex) approximation of an estimator of a primitive of λ, based on n observations. Our main task is to prove that the Lp-loss is asymptotically Gaussian with explicit (though u...
متن کاملCan mechanism inform species' distribution models?
Two major approaches address the need to predict species distributions in response to environmental changes. Correlative models estimate parameters phenomenologically by relating current distributions to environmental conditions. By contrast, mechanistic models incorporate explicit relationships between environmental conditions and organismal performance, estimated independently of current dist...
متن کاملPseudoabsence Generation Strategies for Species Distribution Models
BACKGROUND Species distribution models require selection of species, study extent and spatial unit, statistical methods, variables, and assessment metrics. If absence data are not available, another important consideration is pseudoabsence generation. Different strategies for pseudoabsence generation can produce varying spatial representation of species. METHODOLOGY We considered model outcom...
متن کاملOptimal Solution in a Constrained Distribution System
We develop a method to obtain an optimal solution for a constrained distribution system with several items and multi-retailers. The objective is to determine the procurement frequency as well as the joint shipment interval for each retailer in order to minimize the total costs. The proposed method is applicable to both nested and non-nested policies and ends up with an optimal solution. To solv...
متن کاملSpatio-Phylogenetic Multi-Species Distribution Models
1 Ecologists increasingly consider phylogenetic relatedness in both 2 community composition and spatial arrangements in communities. 3 Here we considered both the phylogenetic correlation between mul4 tiple species and the spatial correlation induced by unobserved spa5 tial heterogeneity on multiple plots. For this analysis, we introduced 6 phylogenetic spatial generalised linear mixed models (...
