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

A Migratory Northern Ungulate in the Pursuit of Spring: Jumping or Surfing the Green Wave?
Richard Bischof,Leif Egil Loe,Erling L. Meisingset,Barbara Zimmermann,Bram Van Moorter,Atle Mysterud +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that whereas in some systems migration itself is a way to surf the green wave, in others it may simply be a means to reconnect with phenological spring at the summer range, in the light of ubiquitous anthropogenic environmental change.

Short-term travel time prediction
Xiaoyan Zhang,John Rice +1 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of the proposed method to predict freeway travel times using a linear model in which the coefficients vary as smooth functions of the departure time is demonstrated by applying the method to two real-life loop detector data sets.

Model Based Inference in the Life Sciences: A Primer on Evidence
TL;DR: Concerns might be that the algorithm did not converge to the maximum or that mixture distributions are not in the exponential family and the log-likelihood function might have more than a single mode.

Additivity of nonlinear biomass equations
TL;DR: Two procedures that guarantee the property of additivity among the components of tree biomass and total tree biomass utilizing nonlinear functions are developed.
