Year-class size of marine fish is thought to be determined during the first year life, with density-dependent mortality occuring larval or juvenile stages. However, investigations such dynamics are often limited by data availability. To test this paradigm for winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus) in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, abundances 29 classes moving through seven life stages...

This work proposes a nonparametric method to compare the underlying mean functions given two noisy datasets. The motivation for stems from an application of comparing wind turbine power curves. Comparing data presents new problems, namely need identify regions difference in input space and quantify extent that is statistically significant. Our proposed method, referred as funGP, estimates diffe...
