  • Estimating agreement coefficients from sample survey data 
    Lin, Hung-Mo; Kim, Hae-Young; Williamson, John M.; Lesser, Virginia M. (Statistics Canada, 2012-06)
    We present a generalized estimating equations approach for estimating the concordance correlation coefficient and the kappa coefficient from sample survey data. The estimates and their accompanying standard error need t ...
  • Mapping the Global Emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus 
    Olson, Deanna H.; Aanensen, David M.; Ronnenberg, Kathryn L.; Powell, Christopher I.; Walker, Susan F.; Bielby, Jon; Garner, Trenton W. J.; Weaver, George; The Bd Mapping Group; Fisher, Matthew C. (Public Library of Science, 2013-02-27)
    The rapid worldwide emergence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is having a profound negative impact on biodiversity. However, global research efforts are fragmented and an overarching synthes ...
  • Differential investment in twin offspring by female pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) 
    Van Vuren, Dirk H.; Bray, Martin P.; Heltzel, Jeannie M. (American Society of Mammalogists, 2013-02)
    Differential investment in offspring has been reported for many mammals, often in the context of the Trivers– Willard model of male-biased investment, but evidence of differential investment in pronghorns (Antilocapra ...
  • Fisher and logistic discriminant function estimation in the presence of collinearity 
    O'Donnell, Robert P. (Robert Paul) (1990-09-27)
    The relative merits of the Fisher linear discriminant function (Efron, 1975) and logistic regression procedure (Press and Wilson, 1978; McLachlan and Byth, 1979), applied to the two group discrimination problem under ...
  • Factors affecting bird counts and their influence on density estimates 
    McCracken, Marti L. (1993-07-22)
    Variable area surveys are used in large geographic regions to estimate the density of birds distributed over a region. If some birds go undetected, a measure of the effective area surveyed, the amount of area occupied ...
