Radon is a natural radioactive gas known to be the main contributor to natural background radiation exposure and the major leading cause of lung cancer second to smoking. Indoor radon concentration levels of 200 and 400 Bq/m3 are reference values suggested by the 90/143/Euratom recommendation,...

Estimating population abundance is of primary interest in wildlife population studies. Point transect sampling is a well established methodology for this purpose. The usual approach for estimating the density or the size of the population of interest is to assume a particular model for the...

In wildlife population studies one of the main goals is estimating the population abundance. Line transect sampling is a well established methodology for this purpose. The usual approach for estimating the density or the size of the population of interest is to assume a particular model for the...

It is natural to assume for rating data an ordinal scale consisting of <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>k</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation> categories (in ascending order of satisfaction). At first glance, ratings can be summarized by a location index (as the median), resulting in a synthesis that takes into account the ordinal nature of data.
