A two-sample distribution-free test for functional data with application to a diffusion tensor imaging study of multiple sclerosis
JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY SERIES C-APPLIED STATISTICS, 65(3), 395–414.
author keywords: Diffusion tensor imaging; Functional principal component analysis; Hypothesis testing; Multiple sclerosis
TL;DR:
A non‐parametric testing procedure for testing the null hypothesis that two samples of curves observed at discrete grids and with noise have the same underlying distribution is developed, which reduces the dimension of the testing problem in a way that enables the use of traditional non-parametric univariate testing procedures.

The responses of a critically endangered mycophagous marsupial (Bettongia penicillata) to timber harvesting in a native eucalypt forest
FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, 363, 190–199.
author keywords: Logging; Disturbance; Ecologically sustainable forest management; Mammal; Hypogeous fungi; Mycorrhizal fungi
TL;DR:
The nature and spatial extent of the timber harvesting regimes investigated in this study were not a major threatening process for the critically endangered woylie, however, ongoing monitoring and evaluation are necessary to ensure that timber harvesting activities remain benign in the face of a changing climate, possible increased mortality from introduced predators, disease, and further declines in the abundance of this critically endangered marsupial.

author keywords: Longitudinal data analysis; Mixed models; Partitioning; Personalized medicine; Placebo response
TL;DR:
A novel approach based on a method of optimal-partitioning (clustering) of functional data to identify prototypical outcome profiles that are distinct from one or the other treatment and outcome profiles common to the different treatments is developed.

Roadside soils show low plant available zinc and copper concentrations
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, 209, 30–37.
author keywords: Highway; Zinc; Copper; Soil pollution; Traffic
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Copper / analysis; Copper / metabolism; Environmental Monitoring; North Carolina; Plants / metabolism; Soil / chemistry; Soil Pollutants / analysis; Soil Pollutants / metabolism; Vehicle Emissions / analysis; Zinc / analysis; Zinc / metabolism
TL;DR:
This study shows an often overlooked variable, site age, should be included when considering roadside pollution accumulation, and Zinc and Cu were more strongly associated with %C, than traffic load.

Bayesian Clustering of Functional Data Using Local Features
BAYESIAN ANALYSIS, 11(1), 71–98.
author keywords: Dirichlet process prior; wavelets; exploratory analysis
TL;DR:
This work clusters each signal coecient using conditionally independent Dirichlet process priors, which leads to exact match- ing of local features, represented by coecients in a multiresolution wavelet basis.

Occupancy estimation for rare species using a spatially-adaptive sampling design
METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 7(3), 285–293.
author keywords: adaptive cluster sampling; informative sampling; probit regression; rare species; spatial regression; Tamarix ramosissima
TL;DR:
This work integrates adaptive cluster sampling and spatial occupancy modelling by developing two models to handle the dependence induced by cluster sampling, and believes this approach is unique and potentially useful for a variety of studies directed at patchily distributed, clustered or rare species exhibiting spatial variation.
