Recursive path analysis is a useful tool for inference on a sequence of three or more response variables in which the causal effects of variables, if any, are in one direction. The primary objective in such analysis is to decompose the total effect of each variable into its direct and ...

In prediction problems with more predictors than observations, it can sometimes be helpful to use a joint probability model, π(Y, X), rather than a purely conditional model, π(Y | X), where Y is a scalar response variable and X is a vector of predictors. This approach is motivated by...

This strategy ignores uncertainty in the estimates of energy availability, which should be propagated into estimates of effects and predicted values of the response variable. I used Bayesian hierarchical models to include uncertainty in site-level covariates when modeling dabbling duck count data during...
variable. Use of a model may more compactly describe the effects of interest but involves assumptions about the way the predictor and outcome variables are related. Perhaps the simplest model is to assume a linear relationship between the outcome and predictor. For example, one could assume that ...
(MD) methods. Partial dependence plots of the response variable to each risk factor were also generated by averaging prediction values for all other risk factor along the distribution of the risk factor of interest keeping other risk factors at mean values across regression-trees86. Partial ...
the output from this hybrid approach suggests new insights into the relationship between ground-motion intensity and site condition, as ML can express the complex relationship among explanatory and response variables without prior information. The application of ML has the potential to enhance data-drive...
