This article provides a thorough meta-analysis of the anomaly detection problem. To accomplish this we first identify approaches to benchmarking anomaly detection algorithms across the literature and produce a large corpus of anomaly detection benchmarks that vary in their construction across several dimensions we deem important to real-world applications: (a)...
Here, we describe and demonstrate a geographic information systems-based lithic morphometric research (GLiMR) software approach. GLiMR accurately and rapidly handles a sequence of ArcGIS procedures to extract geometric morphometric data from 2D and 3D scan files of lithic artifacts. GLiMR generates three main types of geometric properties: shape data, topographic...
The Baltic fishery is managed under the European Union Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) which defines procedures for setting annual total allowable catches (TAC) for major commercially harvested species. TACs are given as fixed shares to each member state by applying the principal of relative stability. Poland uses non-tradable individual vessel...
Inland fisheries in Mexico represent a source of protein, income and employment, for rural communities. Although the most consumed fish in the country are fresh water fishes in the national statistics they only account for 3% of the total fish catch volume (marine fisheries account for 97%). Demand is higher...
Ghana's coast is identified with artisanal fishers who use wooden carved canoes and traditional fishing gears. However, little study has been conducted to assess the performance of this industry in terms of its efficiency. This study aims to analyse the technical efficiency and its determinants of the artisanal fishers in...
We investigate the effects of incorporating a fixed input on equilibrium profits and biomass. We first set up a theoretical model with an input that is fixed in the short-run (vessel size) but that can be used with a variable input at suboptimal capacity. We use this model to get predictions for...
This dataset contains trace-element data, descriptive information, and photographs for 328 field clays sampled in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico; mineralogical data are presented for a subset of the samples. The clay samples were generated as part of a valley-wide sampling strategy designed to capture spatial variation in clay composition...
There has been little empirical analysis of technical efficiency for commercial fisheries in Victoria. This study examines technical efficiency in the Victorian Abalone Fishery with an input-oriented data envelopment analysis (DEA) using panel data for the period from 1978/79 to 2009/2010. The influence of factors affecting technical efficiency is analysed...
