Abstract:

Abstract. Multivariable regression models have been used extensively as spatial modelling tools. However, other regression approaches are emerging as more efficient techniques. This paper attempts to present a synthesis of Generalised Regression Models (Generalized Linear Models, GLMs, Generalized Additive Models, GAMs), and a Geographically Weighted Regression, GWR, implemented in a GAM, explaining their statistical formulations and assessing improvements in predictive accuracy compared with linear regressions. The problems associated with these approaches are also discussed. A digital databa

Abstract:

Ordered categorical data occur in many applied fields, such as geochemistry, econometrics, sociology and demography or even transportation research, for example, in the form of results from various questionnaires. There are different possibilities for modelling proportions of individual categories. Generalised linear models (GLMs) are traditionally used for this purpose, but also methods of compositional data analysis (CoDa) can be considered. Here, both approaches are compared in depth. Particularly, different assumptions of the models on variability are highlighted. Advantages and disadvanta

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to determine the variables that characterize slate exploitability and to model spatial distribution. A generalized linear spatial model (GLSMs) was fitted in order to explore relationship between exploitability and different explanatory variables that characterize slate quality. Modelling the influence of these variables and analysing the spatial distribution of the model residuals yielded a GLSM that allows slate exploitability to be predicted more effectively than when using generalized linear models (GLM), which do not take spatial dependence into account.

Abstract:

Wildfire ignition distribution models are powerful tools for predicting the probability of ignitions across broad areas, and identifying their drivers. Several approaches have been used for ignition-distribution modelling, yet the performance of different model types has not been compared. This is unfortunate, given that conceptually similar species-distribution models exhibit pronounced differences among model types. Therefore, our goal was to compare the predictive performance, variable importance and the spatial patterns of predicted ignition-probabilities of three ignition-distribution mod

Wildland and cropland fires, which differ considerably in fire regime characteristics, have often been evaluated jointly to estimate regional or global fire regimes using satellite-based fire activity data.

We modelled MODIS fire activity data of western and southern Turkey for the years 2000–2015 using binomial generalised linear models in which many climatic, anthropogenic and geographic factors were included as predictor variables.

These have been input to a conceptual rainfall–runoff model (pd4-2par) to simulate the daily streamflows for six UK catchmen

Statistical testing of trait-environment association from data is a challenge as there is no common unit of observation: the trait is observed on species, the environment on sites and the mediating abundance on species-site combinations. A number of correlation-based methods, such as the community weighted trait means method (CWM), the fourth-corner correlation method and the multivariate method RLQ, have been proposed to estimate such trait-environment associations. In these methods, valid statistical testing proceeds by performing two separate resampling tests, one site-based and the other s

Abstract:

Generalised skinfold equations developed in the 1970s are commonly used to estimate laboratory-measured percentage fat (BF%). The equations were developed on predominately white individuals using Siri's two-component percentage fat equation (BF%-GEN). We cross-validated the Jackson–Pollock (JP) generalised equations with samples of young white, Hispanic and African–American men and women using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the BF% referent criterion (BF%-DXA). The cross-sectional sample included 1129 women and men (aged 17–35 years). The correlations between BF%-GEN and BF%-DXA wer

Abstract:

In the past decade the social sciences have seen an upsurge of interest in analysing multidimensional contingency tables using log-linear models. Two broad families of log-linear models may be distinguished: the family of conventional models and the family of unconventional models (that is, quasi-log-linear and hybrid models). In this paper a brief review of such models is presented and some linkage to the class of generalised linear models suggested by Nelder and Wedderburn is provided. The great potential of log-linear models for spatial analysis is illustrated in applying conventional and u

AbstractThis study investigated bat diversity in a temperature and precipitation gradient in fiord and valley landscapes of western Norway about 62° N. Equipment for automatic recording of bat calls was distributed in areas ranging from lowlands to alpine habitats with a mean July temperature range of 8–14°C. A general description of species distribution was given and diversity was analysed using both a generalised linear model (GLM) and a mixed-effects model (GLMM). With regard to the sampling design, the data were analysed on a binary scale, where presence or absence of any species other tha

Abstract:

AbstractChildren with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) have language difficulties of unknown origin. Syntactic profiles are atypical, with poor performance on non-canonical structures, e.g. object relatives, suggesting a localized deficit. However, existing analyses using ANOVAs are problematic because they do not systematically address unequal variance, or fully model random effects. Consequently, a Generalised Linear Model (GLM) was used to analyze data from a Sentence Repetition (SR) task involving relative clauses. seventeen children with SLI (mean age 6;7), twenty-one Language Matched (

Abstract:

Until now, researchers are not in consensus, whether it is the capital structure that influences performance or performance that influences capital structure or both. The main objective of this study was to establish the relationship between capital structure and financial performance of firms listed on the NSE by employing a generalised linear model (GLM) as an improvement on ordinary least regression (OLS). The results of the study revealed that efficient and profitable firms employ more debt than comparable firms that are less profitable possibly because profitable firms’ exposure to financ

Abstract:

A generalised compartmental method for investigating the spread of socially determined behaviour is introduced, and cast in the specific context of societal smoking dynamics with multiple peer influence. We consider how new peer influence terms, acting in both the rate at which smokers abandon their habit, and the rate at which former smokers relapse, can affect the spread of smoking in populations of constant size. In particular, we develop a three-population model (comprising classes of potential, current, and former smokers) governed by multiple incidence transfer rates with linear frequenc

AbstractThis paper defines the ‘Case Deleted’ Deviance - a new objective function for evaluating Generalised Linear Models, and applies this to a number of practical examples in the pricing of general insurance. The paper details practical approximations to enable the efficient calculation of the objective, and derives modifications to the standard Generalised Linear Modelling algorithm to allow the derivation of scaled parameters from this measure to reduce potential over fitting to historical data. These scaled parameters improve the predictiveness of the model when applied to previously uns

Abstract:

Bryant (1993) collected extensive data on the habitat preferences of the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) measured in 36 pools in the upper Macquarie River system. Platypus presence or absence in these pools was measured on three occasions. Detailed modelling of the factors affecting pool preference was complicated by the scale of response being ordinal due to the inability of the observer to distinguish between repeated sightings of the same animal and several different animals. Initial modelling using logistic regression on a presence/absence index, collapsed from the ordinal response, di

Abstract:

Abstract Mortality rates differ across countries and years, and the country with the lowest observed mortality has changed over time. However, the classic Science paper by Oeppen and Vaupel (2002) identified a persistent linear trend over time in maximum national life expectancy. In this article, we look to exploit similar regularities in age-specific mortality by considering for any given year a hypothetical mortality ‘frontier’, which we define as the lower limit of the force of mortality at each age across all countries. Change in this frontier reflects incremental advances across the wide
