Statistical models for the long-term monitoring of songbird populations: a Bayesian analysis of constant effort sites and ring-recovery data
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-25) - ThesisTo underpin and improve advice given to government and other interested parties on the state of Britain’s common songbird populations, new models for analysing ecological data are developed in this thesis. These models ... -
Topics in estimation of quantum channels
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - ThesisA quantum channel is a mapping which sends density matrices to density matrices. The estimation of quantum channels is of great importance to the field of quantum information. In this thesis two topics related to ... -
Multi-species state-space modelling of the hen harrier (Circus cyaneus) and red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus) in Scotland
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - ThesisState-space modelling is a powerful tool to study ecological systems. The direct inclusion of uncertainty, unification of models and data, and ability to model unobserved, hidden states increases our knowledge about the ... -
Distance software: design and analysis of distance sampling surveys for estimating population size
(2010) - Journal article1. Distance sampling is a widely used technique for estimating the size or density of biological populations. Many distance sampling designs and most analyses use the software Distance. 2. We briefly review distance sampling ... -
Embedding population dynamics in mark-recapture models
(University of St Andrews, 2009-06-24) - ThesisMark-recapture methods use repeated captures of individually identifiable animals to provide estimates of properties of populations. Different models allow estimates to be obtained for population size and rates of processes ...
