On Optimal Stopping Rules in Software Reliability, (9999)
Software testing, or debugging, is one of the most important components in software development. It has been estimated that in many projects, the time accounted for debugging can be around 50% of the...
Patterns and causes of species richness: a general simulation model for macroecology (2009)
Gotelli, Nicholas J., Anderson, Marti J., Hector, T. Arita, Chao, Anne, Colwell, Robert K., Connolly, Sean R., ...
Understanding the causes of spatial variation in species richness is a major research focus of biogeography and macroecology. Gridded environmental data and species richness maps have been used in...

A new statistical approach for assessing similarity of species composition with incidence and abundance data
An overview of closed capture-recapture models (2001)
This article reviews various models for both discrete-time and continuous-timeclosed capture–recapture experiments. The traditional discrete-time models assume that the samples are independent....
Stopping rules and estimation for recapture debugging with unequal failure rates (1993)
A theoretical optimal stopping rule based on the minimization of the testing cost and expected penalty due to the unremoved bugs is derived without the equal failure rate assumption under Nayak's...

In an outbreak of a completely new infectious disease like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), estimation of the fatality rate over the course of the epidemic is of clinical and epidemiological...
