The point-radius method for georeferencing locality descriptions and calculating associated uncertainty
Natural history museums store millions of specimens of geological, biological, and cultural entities. Data related to these objects are in increasing demand for investigations of biodiversity and its relationship to the environment and anthropogenic disturbance. A major barrier to the use of these data in GIS is that collecting localities have typically been recorded as textual descriptions, wi...
متن کاملGeoreferencing Incidents from Locality Descriptions and its Applications: a Case Study from Yosemite National Park Search and Rescue
The Search and Rescue (SAR) of individuals who become lost, injured, or stranded in wilderness presents a unique and worthwhile spatiotemporal challenge to investigate. Once incidents are georeferenced they can be spatially queried and analyzed. However, one major challenge for evaluating SAR in a spatial context is the lack of explicitly spatial data (addresses or coordinates) for historic inc...
متن کاملRobustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملEvaluating How the Islamic Republic of Iran Achieved its Vision Economic Goals by Designing and Computing a Composite Index and Using Monte Carlo Simulation Approach for Uncertainty Analysis
The Islamic Republic of Iran Vision aimed to direct development plans and yearly budgets. As one of the most important part, it includes 13 economic goals for directing economic route of the country for a twenty years period. After 15 years, evaluating how the country achieved to these goals is very important and unfortunately neglected. In this article, considering the different nature of goal...
متن کاملTransmission Planning in Deregulated Environments
A new market based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated environments is presented in this paper. In this approach, transmission-planning decisions are made based on the electric power market conditions. The main contribution of this research is 1) Introducing a new probabilistic tool for analyzing the electric market conditions, 2) Defining new criteria for ranking transm...
