The arguments for most of the statistical distributions are parameters that are functions of the mean and variance, a topic we treat in detail in section 3.4.4. For now, we take the liberty of treating the mean and variance as the needed parameters because they are familiar to ecologists. &RSULJKW 3ULQFHWRQ8QLYHUVLW3UHVV 1RSDUWRIWKLVERRNPDEH

A Review of Statistical Outlier Methods Statistical outlier detection has become a popular topic as a result of the US Food and Drug Administration's out of specification (OOS) guidance and increasing emphasis on the OOS procedures of pharmaceutical companies. When a test fails to meet its specifications, the initial response is to conduct a

For 66 years, the BP Statistical Review of World Energy has provided high-quality objective and globally consistent data on world energy markets. The review is one of the most widely respected and authoritative publications in the field of energy economics, used for reference by the media, academia, world governments and energy companies.

Welcome to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. This is the 65th edition of the Statistical Review, an important milestone for a publication that has traced developments in global energy markets since 1951, a year when coal provided more than half of the world’s energy and the price of oil was around $16 (in today’s money).

BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2014 Page | 5 It demonstrates how the world’s quest for secure and fairly-priced energy can be met through competitive industries driving innovation, and smart government policies which encourage investment and progress.

This dream team relied not on classical economic models of what people ought to do but on empirical studies of what people actually do under different conditions.

Our method combines the strength of deep learning and statistical inference, where deep learning captures the underlying distribution of the fluorophores that are consistent with the observed time-series fluorescent images by exploring local features

Second, machine learning experiments are often run in parallel, on multiple cores or machines. In both situations, the standard sequential approach of GP optimization can be suboptimal. In this work, we identify good practices for Bayesian optimization of machine learning algorithms.
