Spatial ecological networks are widely used to model interactions between georeferenced biological entities (e.g., populations or communities). The analysis of such data often leads to a two-step approach where groups containing similar…
Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a sampling scheme used in socially connected human populations lacking a sampling frame. One of the first steps to make design-based inferences from RDS data is to estimate the sampling probabilities. A…
We put forward a simple new randomized missing data (RMD) approach to robust filtering of state-space models, motivated by the idea that the inclusion of only a small fraction of available highly precise measurements can still extract most…
