TLDR
The second edition of this book is unique in that it focuses on methods for making formal statistical inference from all the models in an a priori set (Multi-Model Inference).Abstract:
Introduction * Information and Likelihood Theory: A Basis for Model Selection and Inference * Basic Use of the Information-Theoretic Approach * Formal Inference From More Than One Model: Multi-Model Inference (MMI) * Monte Carlo Insights and Extended Examples * Statistical Theory and Numerical Results * Summaryread more

Classical Mathematical Models for Description and Prediction of Experimental Tumor Growth
Sebastien Benzekry,Clare Lamont,Afshin Beheshti,Amanda Tracz,John M.L. Ebos,Lynn Hlatky,Philip Hahnfeldt +6 more
TL;DR: The results not only have important implications for biological theories of tumor growth and the use of mathematical modeling in preclinical anti-cancer drug investigations, but also may assist in defining how mathematical models could serve as potential prognostic tools in the clinic.

Dynamic Response-by-Response Models of Matching Behavior in Rhesus Monkeys
Brian Lau,Paul W. Glimcher +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that simple reinforcement learning models must account for the effects of past choices to accurately characterize behavior in this task, and that models with these properties provide a conceptual tool for studying how both past reinforcers and past choices are integrated by the neural systems that generate behavior.

Targeting global conservation funding to limit immediate biodiversity declines
Anthony Waldron,Anthony Waldron,Arne Ø. Mooers,Daniel C. Miller,Nathan P. Nibbelink,David W. Redding,David W. Redding,Tyler S. Kuhn,J. Timmons Roberts,John L. Gittleman +9 more
TL;DR: A global database of annual conservation spending is assembled and a statistical model is developed that explains 86% of variation in conservation expenditures, and this is used to identify countries where funding is robustly below expected levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promising the future? Global change projections of species distributions
TL;DR: The main shortcomings of species distribution models and species distribution projections are reviewed, limits to their use are identified and a perspective on how to overcome some current obstacles is opened.

Failure to Recover to Baseline Pulmonary Function after Cystic Fibrosis Pulmonary Exacerbation
Don B. Sanders,Rachel C. L. Bittner,Margaret Rosenfeld,Lucas R. Hoffman,Gregory J. Redding,Christopher H. Goss +5 more
TL;DR: The proportion of patients treated for a pulmonary exacerbation that does not recover to spirometric baseline was determined, allowing clinicians to identify patients who may benefit from closer monitoring and more aggressive treatment.
