Computer-Intensive Statistical Methods

Computer-intensive methods in traffic safety research.

The analysis of traffic safety data archives has improved markedly with the development of procedures that are heavily dependent upon computers. Three such procedures are described here. The first procedure involves using computers to assist in the identification and correction of invalid data. The second procedure makes greater computational demands, and involves using computerized algorithms ...

Computer-intensive methods in the analysis of species-habitat relationships

Statistical habitat models give quantitative descriptions of species-habitat relationships by analysing records of environmental conditions and species incidence by means of logistic regression or other techniques. The most useful model in a given situation is usually unknown a priori. Several data-driven, computer-intensive methods exist to automatically fit a large number of candidate models ...
