Bayesian change-point analyses in ecology.
Ecological and biological processes can change from one state to another once a threshold has been crossed in space or time. Threshold responses to incremental changes in underlying variables can characterize diverse processes from climate change to the desertification of arid lands from overgrazing. Simultaneously estimating the location of thresholds and associated ecological parameters can b...
متن کاملBayesian Online Changepoint Detection
Changepoints are abrupt variations in the generative parameters of a data sequence. Online detection of changepoints is useful in modelling and prediction of time series in application areas such as finance, biometrics, and robotics. While frequentist methods have yielded online filtering and prediction techniques, most Bayesian papers have focused on the retrospective segmentation problem. Her...
متن کاملBayesian inference in ecology
Aaron M. Ellison Harvard University, Harvard Forest, PO Box 68, Petersham, MA, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bayesian inference is an important statistical tool that is increasingly being used by ecologists. In a Bayesian analysis, information available before a study is conducted is summarized in a quantitative model or hypothesis: the prior probability distribution. Bayes Theo...
متن کاملState-of-the-Art in Bayesian Changepoint Detection
We provide a brief overview of the state-of-the-art in quickest (sequential) changepoint detection and present some new results on asymptotic and numerical analysis of main competitors such as the CUSUM, Shiryaev–Roberts, and Shiryaev detection procedures in a Bayesian context.
متن کاملMultivariate analyses in microbial ecology
Environmental microbiology is undergoing a dramatic revolution due to the increasing accumulation of biological information and contextual environmental parameters. This will not only enable a better identification of diversity patterns, but will also shed more light on the associated environmental conditions, spatial locations, and seasonal fluctuations, which could explain such patterns. Comp...
