A new class of geometric dispersion models associated with geometric sums is introduced by combining a geometric tilting operation with geometric compounding, in much the same way that exponential ...

The air quality modeling community breathed a collective sigh of relief when a critical U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) modeling guidance finally became effective this year. The Guideline ...

The present paper provides a Bayesian analysis of two-parameter dispersion models under noninformative priors. The focus is on first- and second-order probability matching priors. Other noninformative ...

Manganese (Mn) is ubiquitous in the environment and essential for normal growth and development, yet excessive exposure can lead to impairments in neurological function. This study modeled ambient Mn ...
