Efficient and Unbiased Estimation of Population Size
Population sizing from still aerial pictures is of wide applicability in ecological and social sciences. The problem is long standing because current automatic detection and counting algorithms are known to fail in most cases, and exhaustive manual counting is tedious, slow, difficult to verify and unfeasible for large populations. An alternative is to multiply population density with some refe...
متن کاملUnbiased estimator for genetic drift and effective population size.
Amounts of genetic drift and the effective size of populations can be estimated from observed temporal shifts in sample allele frequencies. Bias in this so-called temporal method has been noted in cases of small sample sizes and when allele frequencies are highly skewed. We characterize bias in commonly applied estimators under different sampling plans and propose an alternative estimator for g...
متن کاملA finite-population revenue management model and a risk-ratio procedure for the joint estimation of population size and parameters
Many dynamic revenue management models divide the sale period into a finite number of periods T and assume, invoking a fine-enough grid of time, that each period sees at most one booking request. These Poisson-type assumptions restrict the variability of the demand in the model, but researchers and practitioners were willing to overlook this for the benefit of tractability of the models. In thi...
متن کاملEfficient and Secure Decentralized Network Size Estimation
The size of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is an important parameter for performance tuning of P2P routing algorithms. This paper introduces and evaluates a new efficient method for participants in an unstructured P2P network to establish the size of the overall network. The presented method is highly efficient, propagating information about the current size of the network to all participants usi...
متن کاملPopulation size estimation and Internet link structure
Traceroute sampling is a common approach for exploring the autonomous system (AS) graph of the Internet. It provides samples of links between autonomous systems, but these links are not drawn uniformly at random from all possible links. Rather, the rules that each AS uses are idiosyncratic and emergent. Here, we are interested in using the data from traceroute sampling to estimate the degree di...
