Data for the manuscript "Identifying Drivers of Spatial Variation in Occupancy with Limited Replication Camera Trap Data", by Hepler, Staci; Erhardt, Robert; Anderson, T. Michael. Contains data from the Snapshot Serengeti camera trap study. The response variable 'Thomson's Gazelle' is a binary indicator of presence/absence based on the camera trap images. The variable information came from field work, with the exception of NDVI which is based on NASA's MODIS satellite
Data for "Spatio-temporal Forecasting for the US Drought Monitor"
This dataset contains the data needed to implement the analysis in the paper "Spatio-temporal Forecasting for the US Drought Monitor" by Robert Erhardt, Staci Hepler, Daniel Wolodkin, and Andy Greene. The code to perform the analysis can be found here. This data contains observations on a 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree grid for the western United State - west of Nevada's eastern border. There is one observation for each grid location for each week beginning January 4, 2000 and ending June 15, 2021. The variables included are described below. Index variables:'time' is YYYYMMDD'grid' is an arbitrary naming convention based on lat/lon. Letters index lat, and numbers index lon. 'lon' is the longitude of the centroid for the grid cell'lat' is the latitude for the centroid for the grid cellUSDM variable:'drought' is a factor with levels 0, D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 and refer to the value of the US Drought MOnitor at the particular time and at the grid centroid.NOAA variables:'apcp' is weekly total precipitation in kg/m2'air' is surface air temperature'soilm' is soil moisture</p
Police training - missing and murdered indigenous persons, 2023 legislative report
author - Staci Yutzie, Ed.D..Title from PDF cover (viewed on November 7, 2022)."During the 2022 Legislative Session, the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) was directed to submit a proposal to the appropriate interim committees on public safety outlining an operational plan for the provision of training for police officers concerning the investigation and reporting of cases involving missing or murdered Indigenous persons in this state. The plan needed to identify the method and cost of delivery, and the anticipated number of training hours of the training.

Maintenance training for police certification, equity, 2023
HB 2162 Section 10 called for the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) to develop, and establish by rule, a statewide equity training program for police officers. This shall include the minimum training required to obtain and maintain basic certification as a police officer under ORS 181A.490. This report defines equity training for the purposes of police training in Oregon, identifies the required hours, and provides examples of training topics that would be considered equity training under this new rule.Introduction -- What is equity training? -- Why equity training? -- Required hours -- Suggested training topics.author: Staci Yutzie, Ed.D.This archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon as part of the Oregon Documents Depository Program.

Estimating the burden of the opioid epidemic for adults and adolescents in Ohio counties
An integrated abundance model for estimating county-level prevalence of opioid misuse in Ohio
Opioid misuse is a national epidemic and a significant drug related threat to
the United States. While the scale of the problem is undeniable, estimates of
the local prevalence of opioid misuse are lacking, despite their importance to
policy-making and resource allocation. This is due, in part, to the challenge
of directly measuring opioid misuse at a local level. In this paper, we develop
a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal abundance model that integrates
indirect county-level data on opioid-related outcomes with state-level survey
estimates on prevalence of opioid misuse to estimate the latent county-level
prevalence and counts of people who misuse opioids. A simulation study shows
that our integrated model accurately recovers the latent counts and prevalence.
We apply our model to county-level surveillance data on opioid overdose deaths
and treatment admissions from the state of Ohio. Our proposed framework can be
applied to other applications of small area estimation for hard to reach
populations, which is a common occurrence with many health conditions such as
those related to illicit behaviors.Comment: * Authors Hepler and Kline contributed equall

Tupac Shakur ::the authorized biography /
"The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more. Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world. In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson--who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography--peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness. It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60's Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations"-
Data from: Identifying drivers of spatial variation in occupancy with limited replication camera trap data
Occupancy models are widely used in camera trap studies to analyze species presence, abundance, and geographic distribution, among other important ecological quantities. These models account for imperfect detection using a latent variable to distinguish between true presence/absence and observed detection of a species. Under certain experimental setups, parameter estimation in a latent variable framework can be challenging. Several studies have issued guidelines on the number of independent replicated observations (surveys) needed for each unchanging occupancy field (season) to ensure reliable estimation. In this paper we present a spatio-temporal occupancy model, and show through a simulation study that it can be fit to data obtained from a \textit{single} survey per season, so long as the number of seasons is sufficiently large. We include an application using camera-trap data on the Thomson's gazelle in the Serengeti in Tanzania
