    • Estimating abundance of African great apes 

      Howe, Eric J. (University of St Andrews, 2019-12-03) - Thesis
      All species and subspecies of African great apes are listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as endangered or critically endangered, and populations continue to decline. As human populations and ...

    • Methods in spatially explicit capture-recapture 

      Stevenson, Ben C. (University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - Thesis
      Capture-recapture (CR) methods are a ubiquitous means of estimating animal abundance from wildlife surveys. They rely on the detection and subsequent redetection of individuals over a number of sampling occasions. It is ...

    • The statistical development of integrated multi-state stopover models 

      Worthington, Hannah (University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - Thesis
      This thesis focusses on the analysis of ecological capture-recapture data and the estimation of population parameters of interest. Many of the common models applied to such data, for example the Cormack-Jolly-Seber model, ...

    • Randomness as a computational strategy : on matrix and tensor decompositions 

      Erichson, N. Benjamin (University of St Andrews, 2017-11-20) - Thesis
      Matrix and tensor decompositions are fundamental tools for finding structure and data processing. In particular, the efficient computation of low-rank matrix approximations is an ubiquitous problem in the area of machine ...

    • Incorporating animal movement with distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture 

      Glennie, Richard (University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - Thesis
      Distance sampling and spatial capture-recapture are statistical methods to estimate the number of animals in a wild population based on encounters between these animals and scientific detectors. Both methods estimate the ...
