Fisher information under Gaussian quadrature models (2017)
Journal Article
Marques da Silva Júnior, A. H., Einbeck, J., & Craig, P. S. (2018). Fisher information under Gaussian quadrature models. Statistica Neerlandica, 72(2), 74-89. https://doi.org/10.1111/stan.12116

This paper develops formulae to compute the Fisher information matrix for the regression parameters of generalized linear models with Gaussian random effects. The Fisher information matrix relies on the estimation of the response variance under the m... Read More about Fisher information under Gaussian quadrature models.

The current risk assessment scheme is reviewed... Read More about Scientific Opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of plant protection products for in-soil organisms.

Future needs and recommendations in the development of species sensitivity distributions: Estimating toxicity thresholds for aquatic ecological communities and assessing impacts of chemical exposures (2016)
Journal Article
Belanger, S., Barron, M., Craig, P., Dyer, S., Galay-Burgos, M., Hamer, M., …Whitehouse, P. (2016). Future needs and recommendations in the development of species sensitivity distributions: Estimating toxicity thresholds for aquatic ecological communities and assessing impacts of chemical exposures. Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 13(4), 664-674. https://doi.org/10.1002/ieam.1841

A species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a probability model of the variation of species sensitivities to a stressor, in particular chemical exposure. The SSD approach has been used as a decision support tool in environmental protection and manage...

Gradient test for generalised linear models with random effects (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
da Silva-Junior, A., Einbeck, J., & Craig, P. (2016, July). Gradient test for generalised linear models with random effects. Presented at International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, Rennes, France

This work develops the gradient test for parameter selection in generalised linear models with random effects. Asymptotically, the test statistic has a chi-squared distribution and the statistic has a compelling feature: it does not require computati...

Hierarchical Emulation: a method for modeling and comparing nested simulators (2016)
Journal Article
Oughton, R. H., & Craig, P. S. (2016). Hierarchical Emulation: a method for modeling and comparing nested simulators. SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 4(1), 495-519. https://doi.org/10.1137/15m1007914

Computer simulators often contain options to include extensions, leading to different versions of a particular simulator with slightly different input spaces. We develop hierarchical emulation, a method for emulating such simulators and for learning... Read More about Hierarchical Emulation: a method for modeling and comparing nested simulators.

Towards a landscape scale management of pesticides: ERA using changes in modelled occupancy and abundance to assess long-term population impacts of pesticides (2015)
Journal Article
Topping, C. J., Craig, P. S., de Jong, F., Klein, M., Laskowski, R., Manachini, B., …van der Linden, T. (2015). Towards a landscape scale management of pesticides: ERA using changes in modelled occupancy and abundance to assess long-term population impacts of pesticides. Science of the Total Environment, 537, 159-169. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.07.152

Pesticides are regulated in Europe and this process includes an environmental risk assessment (ERA) for non-target arthropods (NTA). Traditionally a non-spatial or field trial assessment is used. In this study we exemplify the introduction of a spati...
