A statistical explanation of MaxEnt for ecologists

INTRODUCTION Species distribution models (SDMs) estimate the relationship between species records at sites and the environmental and/or spatial characteristics of those sites (Franklin, 2009). They are widely used for many purposes in biogeography, conservation biology and ecology (Elith & Leathwick, 2009a; Table 1). In the

Paper 06: STATISTICAL METHODS IN ECONOMICS - II Course Description This is the second course in the two part sequence on statistical methods. It begins with a discussion on sampling techniques used to collect survey data. It introduces the notion of sampling distributions that act as a bridge between probability theory and statistical inference. It

Introduction to Statistical Learning Theory

The main goal of statistical learning theory is to provide a framework for study-ing the problem of inference, that is of gaining knowledge, making predictions, making decisions or constructing models from a set of data. This is studied in a statistical framework, that is there are assumptions of statistical nature about

The likelihood function is one of the most basic concepts in statistical inference. Entire theories of inference have been constructed based on it. We discuss likeli-hood methods in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 6.5. In Section 6.4, we introduce some distribution-free methods of inference. These are not really examples of likelihood
