Beyond unimodal regression: modelling multimodality with piecewise unimodal, mixture or additive regression
Research in the field of nonparametric shape constrained regression has been extensive and there is need for such methods in various application areas, since shape constraints can reflect prior knowledge about the underlying relationship. It is, for example, often natural that some intensity first increases and then decreases over time, which can be described by a unimodal shape constraint. But...
متن کامل, mKdV , SINE - GORDON SOLITON EQUATIONS
A bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of complex vector soliton equations is derived from geometric flows of non-stretching curves in the Lie groups G = SO(N + 1), SU(N) ⊂ U(N), generalizing previous work on integrable curve flows in Riemannian symmetric spaces G/SO(N). The derivation uses a parallel frame and connection along the curves, involving the Klein geometry of the group G. This is shown to yield...
متن کاملFlowering phenology in subalpine meadows: does climate variation influence community co-flowering patterns?
Climate change is expected to alter patterns of species co-occurrence, in both space and time. Species-specific shifts in reproductive phenology may alter the assemblages of plant species in flower at any given time during the growing season. Temporal overlap in the flowering periods (co-flowering) of animal-pollinated species may influence reproductive success if competitive or facilitative in...
متن کاملSynchronous pulsed flowering: analysis of the flowering phenology in Juncus (Juncaceae).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The timing of flowering within and among individuals is of fundamental biological importance because of its influence on total seed production and, ultimately, fitness. Traditional descriptive parameters of flowering phenology focus on onset and duration of flowering and on synchrony among individuals. These parameters do not adequately account for variability in flowering a...
متن کاملTime after time: flowering phenology and biotic interactions.
The role of biotic interactions in shaping plant flowering phenology has long been controversial; plastic responses to the abiotic environment, limited precision of biological clocks and inconsistency of selection pressures have generally been emphasized to explain phenological variation. However, part of this variation is heritable and selection analyses show that biotic interactions can modul...
