A Comparison for Non-Specialists of Workflow Steps and Similarity of Factor Rankings for Several Global Sensitivity Analysis Methods

Ken Newman, Shaini Naha, Leah Jackson-Blake +3

Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) is a recommended step in the use of computer simulation models. GSA quantifies the relative importance of model inputs on outputs (Factor Ranking)…

Adding structure to generalized additive models, with applications in ecology

David L Miller, Ken Newman, Thomas Cornulier

Generalized additive models (GAMs) connecting a set of scalar covariates that map 1-1 to a response are commonly employed in ecology and beyond. However, covariates are often inher…

Logistic regression models: practical induced prior specification

Ken B. Newman, Cristiano Villa, Ruth King

Bayesian inference for statistical models with a hierarchical structure is often characterized by specification of priors for parameters at different levels of the hierarchy. When…

A guide to state-space modeling of ecological time series

Marie Auger-Méthé, Ken Newman, Diana Cole +8

State-space models (SSMs) are an important modeling framework for analyzing ecological time series. These hierarchical models are commonly used to model population dynamics, animal…

Improving inference for nonlinear state-space models of animal population dynamics given biased sequential life stage data

Leo Polansky, Ken B. Newman, Lara Mitchell

State-space models (SSMs) are a popular tool for modeling animal abundances. Inference difficulties for simple linear SSMs are well known, particularly in relation to simultaneous…
