Adding smoothing splines to the SAM model improves stock assessment
Silius M. Vandeskog, Magne Aldrin, Daniel Howell +1
The stock assessment model SAM contains a large number of age-dependent parameters that must be manually grouped together to obtain robust inference. This can make the model select…
A gentle tutorial on accelerated parameter and confidence interval estimation for hidden Markov models using Template Model Builder
Timothée Bacri, Geir D. Berentsen, Jan Bulla +1
A very common way to estimate the parameters of a hidden Markov model (HMM) is the relatively straightforward computation of maximum likelihood (ML) estimates. For this task, most…
Quantitative processing of broadband data as implemented in a scientific splitbeam echosounder
Lars Nonboe Andersen, Dezhang Chu, Harald Heimvoll +3
The use of quantitative broadband echosounders for biological studies and surveys offers considerable advantages over narrowband echosounders. These include improved spectral-based…
Biometric Fish Classification of Temperate Species Using Convolutional Neural Network with Squeeze-and-Excitation
Erlend Olsvik, Christian M. D. Trinh, Kristian Muri Knausgård +5
Our understanding and ability to effectively monitor and manage coastal ecosystems are severely limited by observation methods. Automatic recognition of species in natural environm…
Using sequencing coverage statistics to identify sex chromosomes in minke whales
Ketil Malde, Rasmus Skern, Kevin A. Glover
The ever-increasing number of genome sequencing and resequencing projects is a central source of insights into the ecology and evolution of non-model organisms. An important aspect…
