Because realistic sample sizes are far smaller than the total population, it is impractical to exhaustively characterize diversity of most populations. Here, we demonstrate the possibility of calculating the genetic diversity of a spatial population from a sample using genealogical models. We trace the...

A conviction has developed during the past few years within the avian conservation community that estimates of total population size are needed for many species, especially ones that warrant conservation action. For example, the recently completed monitoring plans for North American shorebirds and landbi...
The estimation of temporary populations is a well-established field, but despite growing interest they are yet to form part of the standard suite of official population statistics. This systematic review seeks to review the empirical literature on tempor
Estimating the lesbian population: a capture-recapture approach Study objective: Little is known about the number of women who identify as lesbian. Estimates from the US range from 1% to nearly 10%. Accurate estimates a... D,J,Aaron,... - 《Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health》 被引...
In this paper, we address the problem of making inferences about a population of infrastructure facilities from a subset that is a biased sample. We consider the case in which the sample is biased toward facilities in worse condition or requiring more expensive repair. Two methods are developed ...
Naive model (NA): A first approach considers that all data comes from a single population, and therefore assumes that there is no heterogeneity. In this model, a common intercept and common predictor effects are included. This naive approach can lead to bias when heterogeneity is actually presen...

ObjectiveTo derive EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) health states values from the Thai general population.MethodsForty-eight trained individuals successfully conducted interviews with a representative sample of 1409 respondents in 2007. A total of 12 sets of health states were used with one set alloc...
Therefore, we will estimate the posterior distribution of the energy input rate from observations. In particular, we focus on the median and confidence interval (CI). Although the arithmetic mean over a profile is the primary measure for the sample, the characteristics of the population can also...
