A likelihood approach to estimating animal density from binary acoustic transects.

Accounting for animal density gradients using independent information in distance sampling surveys

Distance sampling is extensively used for estimating animal density or abundance. Conventional methods assume that location of line or point transects is random with respect to the animal population, yet transects are often placed along linear features such as roads, rivers or shorelines that do not randomly sample the study region, resulting in biased estimates of abundance. If it is possible ...

An Assessment of Distance Sampling Techniques for Estimating Animal Abundance

Line transects have been widely applied for the estimation of animal abundance because they are regarded as simple, economical, and relatively precise. The recent development of automated techniques for the estimation of animal density from distance sampling data allows greater potential for ®eld biologists and wildlife managers to become involved in the analytical summary of their research. An...

Estimating the Change Point of Binary Profiles with a Linear Trend Disturbance (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)

Identification of a real time of a change in a process, when an out-of-control signal is present is significant. This may reduce costs of defective products as well as the time of exploring and fixing the cause of defects. Another popular topic in the Statistical Process Control (SPC) is profile monitoring, where knowing the distribution of one or more quality characteristics may not be appropr...

Estimating Genetic Parameters of Body Weight Traits in Kourdi Sheep

For estimating genetic parameters for body weight traits in Kourdi sheep data were collected from 1996 to 2013 in Kourdi Breeding Station in Northern Khorasan province of Iran. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), six-month weight (6MW), nine-month weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW). The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. (...
