The assumption of iid observations that underlies many statistical procedures is called into question when analyzing complex survey data. The population structure--particularly the existence of ...
A reasonably broad class of models for analyzing two-stage samples is considered. For models in this class, ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates are best linear unbiased estimates (BLUE's) and a ...
Microbial community samples can be efficiently surveyed in high throughput by sequencing markers such as the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Often, a collection of samples is then selected for subsequent ...
