Review Of Stories Of The House People, Ahab Spence
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
These stories are told from the heart. Both elders have much historic background-as a matter of fact both are direct descendants of the House People.
Review Of Willa Cather: A Literary Life, Karen Vierneisel
Review Of Willa Cather: A Literary Life, Karen Vierneisel
Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)
James Woodress wanted to create a life-size portrait of Willa Cather. But his own assessment of the work sums up its limitation. "[His] present view of Cather does not change in any basic way the image of her contained in [his] earlier book." Since then, he may have read Cather's letters to Louise Pound, the new interpretations of Sharon O'Brien, Doris Grumbach, and Susan Rosowski, and Bernice Slote's copious materials to which he had access. But none of this new information teased his imagination
Least Squares Estimation Of Avian Molt Rates, Douglas H. Johnson
Least Squares Estimation Of Avian Molt Rates, Douglas H. Johnson
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
A straightforward least squares method of estimating the rate at which birds molt feathers is presented, suitable for birds captured more than once during the period of molt. The date of molt onset can also be estimated. The method is applied to male and female mourning doves.
An Empirical Bayes Approach To Analyzing Recurring Animal Surveys, Douglas H. Johnson
An Empirical Bayes Approach To Analyzing Recurring Animal Surveys, Douglas H. Johnson
United States Geological Survey, Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center: Publications
Recurring estimates of the size of animal populations are often required by biologists or wildlife managers. Because of cost or other constraints, estimates frequently lack the accuracy desired but cannot readily be improved by additional sampling. This report proposes a statistical method employing empirical Bayes (EB) estimators as alternatives to those customarily used to estimate population size, and evaluates them by a subsampling experiment on waterfowl surveys. EB estimates, especially a simple limited-translation version, were more accurate and provided shorter confidence intervals with greater coverage probabilities than customary estimates.
