Bayesian hierarchical modeling of air-sea interaction
[1] By means of Bayesian hierarchical modeling (BHM), we develop a model for aspects of vigorous air-sea interactions on a basin scale. The approach relies on both physical reasoning and statistical techniques for data processing and uncertainty management. The theory and current practice of BHM of air-sea interaction physics will be introduced and demonstrated in this paper. The demonstration ...
متن کاملGlobal sea turtle conservation successes
We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the seven species of sea turtle globally, we obtained 299 time series of annual nesting abundance with a total of 4417 annual estimates. The time series ranged in length from 6 to 47 years (mean, 16.2 years). When levels o...
متن کاملOn the exponent in the Von Bertalanffy growth model
Von Bertalanffy proposed the differential equation m'(t) = p × m(t) a - q × m(t) for the description of the mass growth of animals as a function m(t) of time t. He suggested that the solution using the metabolic scaling exponent a = 2/3 (Von Bertalanffy growth function VBGF) would be universal for vertebrates. Several authors questioned universality, as for certain species other models would p...
متن کاملEstimating von Bertalanffy parameters with individual and environmental variations in growth.
Variation among individuals is an ubiquitous feature of natural populations. However, the relative roles of intrinsic individual differences and stochastic processes in generating variation remain poorly understood. For somatic growth, identifying the contribution of individual and stochastic processes to observed variation in size has important implications both for basic and applied biology. ...
متن کاملStochastic Age-frequency Estimation Using the Von Bertalanffy Growth Equation
The method of estimating age frequency from length frequency via the von Bertalanffy growth equation is deterministic and yields biased results. Most of the biascan be removed by incorporating a stochastic element in the von Bertalanffy relationship. The stochastic element is based on estimated probabilities of lengths by intervals at age. the probabilities being estimated from variances in len...
