Mt or not Mt: Temporal variation in detection probability in spatial capture-recapture and occupancy models by Sollmann, Rahel

“…Thus, when temporal variation in detection is extreme, it may be necessary to model that variation to avoid bias in parameter estimates in occupancy models. An occupancy case study for ten bird species with a more complex model structure showed considerable differences in occupancy parameter estimates under models accounting for or ignoring temporal variation in detection; but estimates and predictions from the latter were always within 95% confidence intervals of the former. …”

Integrated movement models for individual tracking and species distribution data by Frances E. Buderman, Ephraim M. Hanks, Viviana Ruiz‐Gutierrez, Michael Shull, Robert K. Murphy, David A. W. Miller

“…The IMM was able to provide a more biological accurate subpopulation structure using joint estimation. In addition, the integrated approach (a) improves accuracy of other estimated movement parameters, (b) allows us to estimate the proportion of migratory and non‐migratory birds in a given location and time, and (c) estimate future spatiotemporal distributions of birds given a wintering location, which provide estimates of seasonal connectivity and migratory routes. …”

A simple tool to evaluate the effectiveness of HIV care for settings with gaps in data availability (ESTIHIV). by Dorthe Raben, Marie L Jakobsen, Jamina Trajanovska, Justyna Kowalska, Anna Vassilenko, Snezana Dragas, Arjan Harxhi, Gordana Dragovic, Nadine J Jaschinski, Bastian Neesgaard, Klaus Hjorth-Larsen, Harmony Garges, Joel Gallant, Jens D Lundgren, Andrew Philips, Valentina Cambiano, Yazdan Yazdanpanah, Amanda Mocroft

“…Many HIV clinics with poor IT-infrastructure are unable to report data on individuals in care with HIV, on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and virologically suppressed (VS), with the aim of monitoring the HIV Continuum of Care to estimate efficacy of HIV treatment programmes. We developed an estimation-tool, ESTIHIV, and determined the minimal data required for a random sample, to produce representative estimates, with a specified level of precision, of people with HIV on ART and VS. …”
