Weighted-Interaction Nestedness Estimator (WINE): A new estimator to calculate over frequency matrices
We propose a new nestedness estimator that takes into account the weight of the interactions, that is, it runs over frequency matrices. A nestedness measurement is calculated through the average distance from each matrix cell containing a link to the cell with the lowest marginal totals, in the packed matrix, using a weighted Manhattan distance. The significance of this nestedness measure is te...
متن کاملA new nestedness estimator in community networks
A recent problem in community ecology lies in defining structures behind matrices of species interactions. The interest in this area is to quantify the nestedness degree of the matrix after its maximal packing. In this work we evaluate nestedness using the sum of all distances of the occupied sites to the vertex of the matrix. We calculate the distance for two artificial matrices with the same ...
متن کاملA New Estimator of Entropy
In this paper we propose an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable. The estimator is obtained by modifying the estimator proposed by Vasicek (1976). Consistency of estimator is proved, and comparisons are made with Vasicek’s estimator (1976), van Es’s estimator (1992), Ebrahimi et al.’s estimator (1994) and Correa’s estimator (1995). The results indicate that the proposed esti...
متن کاملA Convergent Frequency Estimator
Online identification of sinusoidal components is an important problem that occurs in active noise control, vibration suppression, on line health monitoring, and radar, sonar, and seismic applications. We adopt a new approach to this identification problem which consists of the utilization of the underlying nonlinearlity and an algorithm that is based on the nonlinear parameterization. The algo...

*Correspondence: [email protected] 2Department of Mathematics and Statistics, UNC Charlotte, 9201 University City Blvd, 28223 Charlotte, USA Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of Gini-Simpson’s diversity index (GS) is widely used but suffers from large bias when the number of species is large or infinite. We prop...
