SOME EXAMPLES OF MAPPING ECOLOGICAL RISKS (PRICE APPROACH)

Integrating physiological, ecological and evolutionary change: a Price equation approach.

We use a general quantitative framework--the Price equation--to partition phenotypic responses to environmental change into separate physiological, evolutionary and ecological components. We demonstrate how these responses, which potentially occur over different timescales and are usually studied in isolation, can be combined in an additive way; and we discuss the main advantages of doing this....

An Algebraic Approach to Data Mining: Some Examples

In this paper, we introduce an algebraic approach to the foundations of data mining. Our approach is based upon two algebras of functions defined over a common state space X and a pairing between them. One algebra is an algebra of state space observations, and the other is an algebra of labeled sets of states. We interpret H as the algebraic encoding of the data and the pairing as the misclassi...

Some Effective Oop Examples

This paper will present two examples that we feel can convince students of the benefits of object-oriented design and spur their interest. Both examples are well-known and fun to program. We first describe a sorting animation. In this project we will ask students to implement animation of various sorting algorithms, and for each sorting algorithm the user can choose one of two methods of animat...

nCal - Some Examples

The function ncal carries out nonlinear calibration, which entails fitting concentration-response curves to sets of samples of known concentrations, also known as standard samples, and using the fitted curves to obtain point estimates and confidence intervals for the analyte concentrations in the samples of interest, also known as the unknown samples. Take Luminex (Defawe et al., 2012) as an ex...
