Optimal Sampling Design Under Logistical Constraints with Mixed Integer Programming
Connie Okasaki, Sándor F. Tóth, Andrew M. Berdahl
The goal of survey design is often to minimize the errors associated with inference: the total of bias and variance. Random surveys are common because they allow the use of theoret…
Flexible social inference facilitates targeted social learning when rewards are not observable
Robert D. Hawkins, Andrew M. Berdahl, Alex "Sandy" Pentland +3
Groups coordinate more effectively when individuals are able to learn from others' successes. But acquiring such knowledge is not always easy, especially in real-world environments…
Source Reconstruction for Spatio-Temporal Physical Statistical Models
Connie Okasaki, Mevin B. Hooten, Andrew M. Berdahl
In many applications, a signal is deformed by well-understood dynamics before it can be measured. For example, when a pollutant enters a river, it immediately begins dispersing, fl…
Edge fires drive the shape and stability of tropical forests
Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Adam F. A. Pellegrini, Uttam Bhat +3
In tropical regions, fires propagate readily in grasslands but typically consume only edges of forest patches. Thus forest patches grow due to tree propagation and shrink by fires…
Anatomy of Leadership in Collective Behaviour
Joshua Garland, Andrew M. Berdahl, Jie Sun +1
Understanding the mechanics behind the coordinated movement of mobile animal groups (collective motion) provides key insights into their biology and ecology, while also yielding al…
Dynamics of beneficial epidemics
Andrew Berdahl, Christa Brelsford, Caterina De Bacco +12
Pathogens can spread epidemically through populations. Beneficial contagions, such as viruses that enhance host survival or technological innovations that improve quality of life,…
