Protected areas and prospects for endangered species conservation in Canada.

Reserve networks figure prominently in conservation strategies that aim to reduce extinction rates. We tested the effectiveness of the current reserve network at protecting species at risk in Canada, where relatively extensive wilderness areas remain. We compared numbers of terrestrial species at risk included in existing reserves to randomly generated networks with the same total area and numb...

Conservation of Invertebrates

The redwood forests support an unknown but large number of invertebrate species and, over all seasons, more than two hundred species of vertebrates (A. Cooperrider, unpub. comp.). Beyond this, knowledge of the redwoods fauna is surprisingly limited. Despite the enormous public attention that has been focused on redwood forests in recent years, comparatively little has been written about the eco...

modeling loss data by phase-type distribution

بیمه گران همیشه بابت خسارات بیمه نامه های تحت پوشش خود نگران بوده و روش هایی را جستجو می کنند که بتوانند داده های خسارات گذشته را با هدف اتخاذ یک تصمیم بهینه مدل بندی نمایند. در این پژوهش توزیع های فیزتایپ در مدل بندی داده های خسارات معرفی شده که شامل استنباط آماری مربوطه و استفاده از الگوریتم em در برآورد پارامترهای توزیع است. در پایان امکان استفاده از این توزیع در مدل بندی داده های گروه بندی ...
