Do capture and survey methods influence whether marked animals are representative of unmarked animals? by John R. Fieberg, Kurt Jenkins, Scott McCorquodale, Clifford G. Rice, Gary C. White, Kevin White

“…The lone exception to this rule was for the cohort of radiocollared moose in Minnesota, which exhibited a slight decrease in detection probabilities over time. Differences in detection probabilities for marked and unmarked animals may not be a significant problem for sightability models, provided that the source of the variability can be captured by model covariates (e.g., heterogeneity is tied to an individual's propensity to be in heavy cover). …”

Machine Learning Aided Resilient Spectrum Surveillance for Cognitive Tactical Wireless Networks: Design and Proof-of-Concept by Eli Garlick, Nourhan Hesham, MD. Zoheb Hassan, Imtiaz Ahmed, Anas Chaaban, MD. Jahangir Hossain

“…Due to the vast nature of interference signals in the frequency bands used by cognitive TWNs, it is non-trivial to acquire manually labeled data sets of all interference signals. Detecting the presence of an unknown and remote interference source in a frequency band from the transmitter end is also challenging, especially when the received interference power remains at or below the noise floor. …”
