Statistical challenges in null model analysis
Th is review identifi es several important challenges in null model testing in ecology: 1) developing randomization algorithms that generate appropriate patterns for a specifi ed null hypothesis; these randomization algorithms stake out a middle ground between formal Pearson – Neyman tests (which require a fully-specifi ed null distribution) and specifi c process-based models (which require par...
متن کاملPattern detection in null model analysis
Null model analysis has been a popular tool for detecting pattern in binary presence–absence matrices, and previous tests have identified algorithms and metrics that have good statistical properties. However, the behavior of different metrics is often correlated, making it difficult to distinguish different patterns. We compared the performance of a suite of null models and metrics that have be...
متن کاملStatistical Challenges of Cosmic Microwave Background Analysis
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is an abundant source of cosmological information. However, this information is encoded in non-trivial ways in a signal that is difficult to observe. The resulting challenges in extracting this information from CMB data sets have created a new frontier. In this talk I will discuss the challenges of CMB data analysis. I review what cosmological information i...
متن کاملNull model analysis of species nestedness patterns.
Nestedness is a common biogeographic pattern in which small communities form proper subsets of large communities. However, the detection of nestedness in binary presence-absence matrices will be affected by both the metric used to quantify nestedness and the reference null distribution. In this study, we assessed the statistical performance of eight nestedness metrics and six null model algorit...
متن کاملStatistical Challenges in the Analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
An enormous amount of observations on Cosmic Microwave Background radiation has been collected in the last decade, and much more data are expected in the near future from planned or operating satellite missions. These datasets are a goldmine of information for Cosmology and Theoretical Physics; their efficient exploitation posits several intriguing challenges from the statistical point of view....
