Inference for Populations: Uncertainty Propagation via Bayesian Population Synthesis
… new type of prior distribution, specifically for populations themselves, which we denote the Dirichlet Spacing prior. This prior solves a specific problem that arises when attempting to create synthetic populations from a known subset: the unfortunate reality that assuming independence between …

Towards Support of Visual Analytics for Synthetic Information
… system for visualizing and exploring global synthetic populations. The implementation described in this thesis addresses the following existing limitations of the Syn- thetic Information Viewer (SIV): (i) it adds ability to support synthetic populations for the entire globe by resolving data …

Decision Support for Operational Plantation Forest Inventories through Auxiliary Information and Simulation
… Additionally, a simulation study using synthetic populations provided the basis for investigating the effects of plot and stand-level inventory aggregations on predictions and projections of future forest conditions. Forest regeneration surveys are important for assessing conditions …

A Semantic Web-Based Digital Library Infrastructure to Facilitate Computational Epidemiology
… two primary categories of datasets: reported and synthetic. Reported data include epidemic data published by organizations (e.g., WHO, CDC, other national ministries and departments of health) during and following actual outbreaks, while synthetic datasets are comprised of spatially explicit …

Genetic dissection of carotenoid concentration and compositional traits in maize grain
… marker assisted selection at lcye and crtRB1 in synthetic populations developed for high total carotenoid content lead to a 3.95-11.33-fold improvement in beta-carotene and 1.45-3.22-fold improvement in proVitamin A for the favorable genotypes. The combined information from these studies …

On the complex stellar populations of ancient stellar systems
… their constituent components. Resolved stellar populations enable us to gain detailed insights on the age and chemical composition of such stellar systems, tracing their properties on a fine spatial scale. The deep investigation of Local Group objects revealed that even very old, low mass, …

Analysis and Prediction of the Commuting Mode Choices in England Using Bayesian Networks
… models haven been recently applied in producing synthetic populations, for example, for urban “digital twins”. However, in spite of their potential, BNs are rarely developed for modelling travel mode choice or travel behaviour more generally. This research develops a new BN model for commuting …
