An Alternative Estimate of Preferred Direction for Circular Data
Circular or Angular data occur in many fields of applied statistics. A common problem of interest in circular data is estimating a preferred direction and its corresponding distribution. This problem is complicated by the so-called wrap-around effect, which exists because there is no minimum or …

Bayesian dynamic borrowing strategies with power priors and quantifying prior information for circular priors.
… for settings with small current or historical data samples. The second concerns strategies for the assessment of circular priors. Chapter two introduces a novel dynamic borrowing method that can be applied in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Recent approaches such as that in Thompson et …

Probabilistic Machine Learning for Circular Statistics: Models and inference using the Multivariate Generalised von Mises distribution
Probabilistic machine learning and circular statistics—the branch of statistics concerned with data as angles and directions—are two research communities that have grown mostly in isolation from one another. On the one hand, probabilistic machine learning community has developed powerful frameworks …

Wild carnivore habitat use and community ecology in a biodiversity hotspot and human-wildlife conflict with pumas and dogs across Chile
… occupancy models fit to camera-trap data to investigate the patterns of site occupancy and response to mega-wildfires of native mesocarnivores in southern-central Chile: guignas (Leopardus guigna), culpeo foxes (Lycalopex culpaeus) and chilla foxes (Lycalopex griseus). I found that …
