We apply the Bayesian quantile regression (BayesQR) model for binary response variables and unsupervised learning methods to synthetic data (Stevens Anderson-Cook, 2017a, 2017b), which is univariate with a of passing or failing complex munitions generated match age usage rate found in US Department Defense systems (Army Navy). Instead generalised linear (GLM) used Stevens Anderson-Cook (2017a),...

New records of water mites of the family Torrenticolidae (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from streams in Ghana are presented.
