Operational modelling of geomagnetic fields and geomagnetically induced currents by Heyns, Michael John

“…For GIC modelling in networks with sparse magnetic Field data coverage, the well-defined and often used planar spherical elementary current systems interpolation method is adapted to use low-cost variometers and describe mid-latitude current systems. …”

Modelling credit spreads in an illiquid South African corporate debt market by Jones, Samantha

“…This key feature is used in a Bayesian methodology to impute missing credit spread data for calibration, for more meaningful inference. On sparse simulated data and market observed credit spread time series, the model proves to deliver an improved quality of the estimations, with probabilities that are now statistically founded. …”

Bayesian analysis of historical functional linear models with application to air pollution forecasting by Junglee, Yovna

“…In this work, we develop a Bayesian framework for the analysis of the historical functional linear model with multiple predictors. Different from existing Bayesian approaches to historical functional linear models, our proposed methodology is able to handle multiple functional covariates with measurement error and sparseness. …”

The application of spatial capture-recapture models to investigate leopard ecology and conservation in South Africa by Rogan, Matthew S

“…I then fit multisession spatial capture-recapture models to time series data from seven of these leopard populations to assess their threat level based on the estimated probability of population declines. …”

Facilitating golden mole conservation in South African highland grasslands : a predictive modelling approach by Rampartab, Chanel

“…This study employed species distribution modelling to predict the distributional ranges of these taxa, and involved four main processes: (i) creating initial models trained on sparse museum data records; (ii) ground-truthing field surveys during austral spring/summer to gather additional specimens at additional localities; (iii) genetic analyses (using cytochrome-b) to determine the species identities of the newly-acquired specimens, as these taxa are morphologically indistinguishable; and (iv) refining the models and determining the conservation status of these Highveld golden moles. …”
