Presents descriptive statistics, sophisticated counting techniques and other components of probability, simple random variables and their distribution, bivariate functions, sampling theory properties ...

Nonparametric methods provide a flexible framework for estimating the probability density function of random variables without imposing a strict parametric model.

An attractive feature of these methods is that the rate of convergence is unaffected by the presence of discontinuities in the function being estimated. We provide structure and mean-square analyses ...

Counting techniques are widely used to study and monitor terrestrial birds. To assess current applications of counting techniques, we reviewed landbird studies published 1989-1998 in nine major ...
