Postal Code Conversion File Plus [Canada], Version 4J, September 2006, Census of Canada 2001
No full textThe PCCF+ is a SAS© control program and set of associated datasets derived from the PCCF, a 2001 postal codeOM population weight file, the Geographic Attribute File, Health Region boundary files, and other supplementary data. PCCF+ automatically assigns a range of Statistics Canada standard geographic areas and other geographic identifiers based on postal codesOM.
PCCF+ differs from the PCCF in that it:
Uses population-weighted random allocation for many postal codesOM that link to more than one geographic area.
Options are available for institutional postal codesOM.
Procedures are included to link partial postal codesOM to geographic identifiers where possible.
Problem records and diagnostics are provided in the program output, along with reference information for possible solutions.
The geographic coordinates, which represent the standard geostatistical areas linked to each postal codesOM on the PCCF, are commonly used to map the distribution of data for spatial analysis (e.g., clients, activities). In April 1983, the Geography Division released the first version of the PCCF, which linked postal codes to 1981 census geographic areas and included geographic coordinates. PCCF+ was first created using the 1986 census and has been updated regularly with population weight files calculated for each census from 1991 through 2001.
The purpose of the PCCF+ is to provide a link between six-character postal codesOM produced by the Canada Post Corporation (CPC), standard 2001 Census geographic areas (such as dissemination areas, census subdivisions, and census tracts) produced by Statistics Canada, and supplementary administrative areas and neighbourhood income quintiles. Postal codesOM do not respect census geographic boundaries and so may be linked to more than one standard geographic area, or assigned to more than one set of coordinates. Therefore, one postal codeOM may be represented by more than one record. The PCCF product, produced by Statistics Canada, provides links between postal codes and all recorded matches to census geography. PCCF+ uses the PCCF but provides additional functionality in that it uses a population-weighted matching process for some residential postal codesOM where more than one geographic code is possible. PCCF+ also provides routines for institutional postal codesOM and for historic postal codesOM. The purpose of this product is not to validate postal codesOM or the PCCF.</p
Canadian Dataverse Admin Survey - Individual (2023)
No full textThe Canadian Dataverse Admin Survey - Individual (2023) was conducted to gain insight into the growing community of Canadian Dataverse Collection Administrators—librarians or other institutional staff members who manage an institutional Dataverse collection (or repository) and provide support to the members of their designated local research community.
The Principal Investigators (PIs) of the study are Meghan Goodchild, PhD (Queen’s University / Scholars Portal) and Alisa Rod, PhD (McGill University), who lead the “Canadian Dataverse Administrators Survey Working Group,” a subgroup of the Dataverse North Expert Group of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. Working Group members include: Shahira Khair (University of Victoria), Danica Evering (McMaster University), Alexander Jerabek (Université du Québec à Montréal), Tara Stieglitz (MacEwan University), Lacey Cain (Carleton University), and Lina Marie Harper (Digital Research Alliance of Canada), with support from John Huck (University of Alberta) and Amber Leahey (Scholars Portal).
This dataset contains a README file (TXT), documentation (PDFs), the de-identified quantiative dataset (CSV), and R markdown notebook scripts to produce the figures (RMD).
Le sondage sur les administrateur(trice)s du Dataverse canadien – Individus (2023) a été menée pour étudier sur la communauté grandissante des administrateur(trice)s du Dataverse canadien, soit les bibliothécaires et autres membres du personnel qui gèrent une collection Dataverse institutionnelle (ou un dépôt) et fournissent du soutien aux membres de leur communauté de recherche locale désignée.
Les chercheuses principales du sondage sur les administrateur(trice)s du Dataverse canadien sont Meghan Goodchild, Ph. D. (Université Queen’s/Scholars Portal) et Alisa Rod, Ph. D. (Université McGill), qui dirigent le « groupe de travail sur le sondage sur les administrateur(trice)s du Dataverse canadien », un sous-groupe du groupe d’experts sur Dataverse Nord de l’Alliance de recherche numérique du Canada. Les membres du groupe de travail sont Lacey Cain (Université Carleton), Danica Evering (Université McMaster), Lina Marie Harper (Alliance de recherche numérique du Canada), Alexander Jerabek (Université du Québec à Montréal), Shahira Khair (Université de Victoria) et Tara Stieglitz (Université MacEwan), avec le soutien de John Huck (Université de l’Alberta) et d’Amber Leahey (Scholars Portal).
Cet ensemble de données contient un fichier README (TXT), de la documentation (PDF), l'ensemble de données quantitatives anonymisées (CSV) et des scripts de carnets de démarquage R pour produire les chiffres (RMD)
Data from: FST and genetic diversity in an island model with background selection
No full textAbstractBackground selection, by which selection on deleterious alleles reduces diversity at linked neutral sites, influences patterns of total neutral diversity, πT, and genetic differentiation, FST, in structured populations. The theory of background selection may be split into two regimes: the background selection regime, where selection pressures are strong and mutation rates are sufficiently low such that deleterious alleles are at a deterministic mutation-selection balance, and the interference selection regime, where selection pressures are weak and mutation rates are sufficiently high that deleterious alleles accumulate and interfere with another, leading to selective interference. Previous work has quantified the effects of background selection on πT and FST only for deleterious alleles in the background selection regime. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that migration reduces the effects of background selection on FST, but this has not been fully explained. Here, we derive novel theory to predict the effects of migration on background selection experienced by a subpopulation and extend previous theory from the interference selection regime to make predictions in an island model. Using simulations, we show that this theory best predicts FST and πT. Moreover, we demonstrate that background selection may generate minimal increases in FST under sufficiently high migration rates, because migration reduces correlated effects on fitness over generations within subpopulations. However, we show that background selection may still cause substantial reductions in πT, particularly for metapopulations with a larger effective population size. Our work further extends the theory of background selection into structured populations, and suggests that background selection will minimally confound locus-to-locus FST scans.</p
