TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal variations in occupancy rates for the accommodation sector in Wales over the period 1998 to 2000 were analyzed based on a combination of principal components and cluster analysis and the results were used to group establishments with similar performance profiles.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a fusion framework for building occupancy estimation with environmental parameters, and fuse the results of data-driven models with well developed occupancy models by using a particle filter algorithm.

TL;DR: The present article aims to review the research works concerning occupancy-based control systems, classify them based on the integration of occupancy information with control systems and identify their strengths and limitations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explain an alternative measure called the lodging index, which reflects average revenue per room-night, which can be particularly useful for local travel destinations where average occupancy and room rates are not available.
Abstract: Average occupancy and room-rate statistics have limitations when used to monitor the hotel/motel industry. The authors explain an alternative measure called the lodging index, which reflects average revenue per room-night. The lodging index can be particularly useful for local travel destinations where average occupancy and room rates are not available.

TL;DR: The habitat use and the spatial and temporal interspecific relations of the medium and small Atlantic Forest felids, in a landscape with different levels of anthropogenic impact, and co-occurrence models indicated that the probability of habitat use by southern tiger cats decreased with ocelot occupancy probability.
Abstract: Competition theory and niche theory suggest that two morphologically similar species may coexist by reducing the overlap of at least one dimension of their ecological niche. The medium and small Neotropical felids are an interesting group of carnivore species for studying intraguild competition. Due to differences in size it is expected that the larger ocelot exert strong interference competition on the smaller felids (southern tiger cat, margay and jaguarundi); which, in turn, may exert exploitative competition among themselves. Moreover, landscape changes due to human activities may alter these interspecific interactions. We studied the habitat use and the spatial and temporal interspecific relations of the medium and small Atlantic Forest felids, in a landscape with different levels of anthropogenic impact. We estimated the detection probability, and occupancy probability of these cats and whether these parameters are affected by environmental and anthropogenic variables or by the estimated occupancy and detection probability of the ocelot. We estimated the overlap in daily activity patterns between pairs of the four species and changes in their activity in response to anthropogenic impact. We also studied the potential changes that may have occurred in the daily activity of the small felids in relation to ocelot's occupancy probability. The probability of habitat use of the small- and medium-size felids was negatively associated to the intensity of landscape use by humans. Co-occurrence models indicated that the probability of habitat use by southern tiger cats decreased with ocelot occupancy probability. This effect was higher as human disturbance increased. Moreover, the ocelot and the southern tiger cat became more nocturnal in sites with higher human access, suggesting that they may be temporally avoiding encounters with humans or dogs. Conservation of medium and small felids in the Atlantic Forest depends not only on the establishment and implementations of protected areas but also on the management of human's land uses.
