We review basic modeling approaches for failure and maintenance data from repairable systems. In particular we consider imperfect repair models, defined in terms of virtual age processes, and the ...

Although catastrophe theory has been applied with mixed success to many problems in the biosciences, very few of these applications have used any form of statistical modeling. We present examples of ...

Abstract: Assumptions play a pivotal role in the selection and efficacy of statistical models, as unmet assumptions can lead to flawed conclusions and impact decision ...

Statistical modeling, a simplified, mathematically formalized way to approximate reality and then make predictions based on that approximation, has been around in some form since the 1970s, but it is ...

In a recent article published in the eLife Journal, researchers launched a possum excreta surveillance program across 350 km 2 in the Mornington Peninsula near South Melbourne, Australia. The study ...
