Drawing on the work of internationally acclaimed experts in the field, Handbook of Item Response Theory, Volume One: Models presents all major item response models. This first volume in a three-volume set covers many model developments that have occurred in item response theory …

Engine mapping is the process of empirically modelling engine behaviour as a function of adjustable engine parameters, predicting the output of the engine. The aim is to calibrate the electronic engine controller to meet decreasing emission requirements and increasing fuel econo…

Climate change, land use change, and other anthropogenic pressures are increasing species extinctions, phenology shifts, and drastic population declines. Avian populations and communities are particularly vulnerable to global change given their mobile and migratory life history …

Estimating demographic rates of wildlife species, such as survival and fecundity, is crucial for monitoring wildlife populations and informing management of these species. Monitoring highly mobile species is especially challenging, as their life histories and behaviors (e.g., mi…

The processes governing environmental systems are often complex, involving different interacting scales of variability in space and time. The complexities and often high dimensionality of such spatio-temporal processes can be effectively addressed using a hierarchical modeling f…
