Changes in the cuticular hydrocarbons of incipient reproductives correlate with triggering of worker policing in the bulldog ant Myrmecia gulosa
TL;DR: The results strongly support the idea that cuticular hydrocarbons are involved in the policing of reproductive workers, and appear sufficient to select for self-restraint in workers when few fitness benefits are gained by selfish reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of habitat selection studies with multiple patches within cover types
TL;DR: In this paper, statistical tests are presented for hypotheses about disproportional use of cover types and patches within cover types, and Monte Carlo simulation is used to assess the accuracy of the formulas and to check the Type I error rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Individual Travel Mode with Evidential Neural Network Model
TL;DR: In this paper, an evidential neural network (ENN) was used to predict individual travel modes for individuals in Luxembourg, based on their characteristics, transportation mode specifications, and data related to places of work and residence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical deception among ant social parasites
TL;DR: Data is presented on the level of chemical similarity between social parasites and their hosts in four different systems and these data are discussed in the wider context with previous studies, especially in respect to using multivariate statistical methods when looking for differences in these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Financial performance and distress profiles. From classification according to financial ratios to compositional classification
TL;DR: This work puts forward an alternative financial statement analysis method for classifying firms which aims at solving the above mentioned shortcomings and draws from compositional data analysis.

Problems of relative growth
TL;DR: This detailed study of the different rates of growth of parts of the body relative to the body as a whole represents Sir Julian Huxley's great contribution to analytical morphology, and it is still a basis for modern investigations in morphometrics and evolutionary biology.

Experiments with Mixtures: Designs, Models and the Analysis of Mixture Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the original Mixture Problem is described and models for exploring the Entire Simplex Factor Space are presented, including matrix algebra, least squares, and the analysis of variance.
New statistical methods for allometry with application to
TL;DR: In this paper, Mosimann et al. presented new statistical methods for the study of size and shape, and used these methods to study the morphology of red-winged blackbirds, Agelaius phoeniceus breeding in Florida.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of dispersion on a sphere
TL;DR: In this article, a series of approximate tests of significance is given for hypotheses about the precision constant K and the polar vector on a sphere, where 8' is the angle between the polar and observation vectors.
