We used generalized additive models to determine factors that drive tegu movement to inform managers when traps and surveillance plots are most likely to be effective. Our top model included temporal (time of day and time of year), environmental (air temperature, relative humidity, rain, and ...
A novel application combining semi-parametric Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) with logistic GAMs was developed to forecast indoor temperatures and window opening states during prolonged heatwaves. GAM models were compared to AutoRegressive models with eXogenous inputs (ARX) and validated against monitore...

aWhen building models of economic time series, researchers typically work in logarithms.We think of Y as such a model, which by design can capture arithmetic growth that is stochastic in nature. Our interest in asset pricing will lead us to study exponentials of additive functionals. We call ...
Individual radar coefficients interpolated using a generalized additive model. Full size image Migrants at inland sites displayed moderate to high propensity to drift (slope of alpha: 0.63–0.77, Fig. 3b), whereas migrants at coastal sites showed both an overall lower propensity to drift (slope of...
Historically the chain-ladder method has been used as a gold standard (benchmark), due to its generalized use and ease of application. A method that improves on the gold standard is one that can handle situations where there are many negative incremental claims and/or some of these are ...
Loadshifting involves shifting energy use (e.g., doing laundry) to periods in which energy is produced. This necessitates behavior change within the household, and it is not yet well understood why people struggle to loadshift. To assess the individualistic and contextual factors influencing ...
based sexual signal is the decrease in bill colour investment in male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) when they are kept in an male-only environment as compared to males living with females, since bill colour is a sexual signal directed to females who use it as a trait in mate choice16...
right) PFC accounted for almost 35% of the variance in stimulation efficacy across participants providing evidence that cortical morphology is related to an individual's behavioral response to tDCS. This implies that a generalized tDCS protocol has a different efficacy for each participant due to ...
